desired needs.
(ABET-d): Function on multi-disciplinary teams
(ABET-e): Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
(ABET-f): Understanding
of professional and ethical responsibility
(ABET-g): Communicate effectively orally and in writing
(ABET-h): A broad education necessary to understand the
impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context
(ABET-i): Recognition
of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
(ABET-j): Knowledge
of contemporary issues
(ABET-k): Use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering
tools necessary for engineering practice.

School Closure / Class Cancelation
Additional
readings will be assigned to cover any class cancelations
Attendance
Class participation is part of your course
grade. Also. Exams cover much material that is only
presented in lecture.
No cell phone or laptop use in
class
Texting, emailing, or web-surfing in class is a breach of
classroom etiquette. This can very much affect your “Participation & Etiquette”
grade. Also, no laptop use is allowed without a documented need by
Elizabethtown College student services. Research now shows that taking hand-written
notes is better for learning: http://www.npr.org/2016/04/17/474525392/attention-students-put-your-laptops-away
Academic
Honesty
Elizabethtown College Pledge of
Integrity: "Elizabethtown College is a community engaged in a living
and learning experience, the foundation of which is mutual trust and respect.
Therefore, we will strive to behave toward one another with respect for the
rights of others, and we promise to represent as our work only that which is
indeed our own, refraining from all forms of lying, plagiarizing, and
cheating." [ See the 2016-17 Elizabethtown College Catalog, “Standards of
Academic Integrity” (http://catalog.etown.edu/content.php?catoid=10&navoid=507#Academic_Judicial_System) or Academic Integrity at Elizabethtown College,
11th ed. (https://www.etown.edu/offices/dean-of-students/files/academic-integrity-handbook.pdf) ]
Disabilities
Elizabethtown College
welcomes otherwise qualified students with disabilities to participate in all
of its courses, programs, services, and activities. If you have a documented
disability and would like to request accommodations in order to access course material,
activities, or requirements, please contact the Director of Disability
Services, Lynne Davies, by phone (361-1227) or e-mail daviesl@etown.edu. If your documentation meets the college’s
documentation guidelines, you will be given a letter from Disability Services
for each of your professors. Students
experiencing certain documented temporary conditions, such as post-concussive
symptoms, may also qualify for temporary academic accommodations and
adjustments. As early as possible in the semester, set up an appointment to
meet with me, the instructor, to discuss the academic adjustments specified in
your accommodations letter as they pertain to my class.
Religious Observations
The College is willing to accommodate individual religious beliefs and
practices. It is your responsibility to meet with the class instructor in
advance to request accommodation related to your religious observances that may
conflict with this class, and to make appropriate plans to make up any missed
work.
