Reading assignments: It is important that you read the assigned sections from the textbook before coming to class so that we can spend more time solving problems in order to improve our problem solving skills.

Exams: There will be two 2 hr term exam with an optional final exam.

Homework: There will be one homework assignment each week on Tuesday and the assignments will be collected following Tuesday by 5pm. Homework assignments for each week will be posted on the course web page. You are expected to turn your homework assignments on time to be considered for full credit. Points will be deducted from late homework assignments. 20 points will be subtracted from homework assignment grade for each day after due date.

Homework is a valuable learning tool, so you should try to solve every problem on your own. You are encouraged to seek help from your instructor and TA. You may work together in small groups to complete an assignment. This does not mean you may simply copy solutions from a classmate or from solution sets from previous years to which you might have access. Presenting someone else's work as your own is plagiarism.

Labs : There will be 2 labs for the course.

Lab 1:  Application of MATLAB to data analysis (interpolation, extrapolation, curve fitting, integration)

Lab 2: Pressure drop and pump performance laboratory

Term project :  There will be one term project due March 8, 2006. For more information click on the hyperlink.

Academic integrity - We all have a responsibility to maintain a high standard of academic honesty, and I am confident that you will meeting the required standard of academic integrity. Any suspected violation of the Code of Student Conduct will be forwarded to the Committee on Academic Misconduct.

Academic misconduct is defined in the Code of the Student Conduct (3335-23-04,

http://studentaffairs.osu.edu/info_for_students/csc.asp) and the Rules of the University Faculty (3335-31-02,

http://www.acs.ohio-state.edu/offices/oaa/procedures/1.0.html). Per University Rule 3335-31-02, "Each instructor shall report to the committee on academic misconduct all instances of what he or she believes may be academic
misconduct." Cheating on examinations, submitting work of other students as your own,
or plagiarism in any form will result in penalties ranging from an "F" on an assignment to
expulsion from the University, depending on the seriousness of the offense.

We will follow the university policy in this course to maintain academic integrity, rather than to try to trap and
to punish. In fairness to all students in the class, violations of academic integrity will not be tolerated.

Violations of academic integrity includes:

Plagiarism includes (but is not limited to) failure to indicate the source with quotation marks or footnotes, where appropriate, if any of the following are reproduced in the work submitted by a student:
