Academic Dishonesty! "Academic dishonesty" refers to employing a method or technique

or engaging in conduct in an academic endeavor that the studentknows or should know is not permitted by the University or a course

instructor to fulfill academic requirements (See Syllabus)

! Academic dishonesty of any kind will result in either zero credit for

the particular assignment or one full letter grade from the final coursegrade - whichever is worse

! I AM REQUIRED TO REPORT ANY CHEATING OR COPYING TO THE

COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING!

! All students required to Complete Statement Regarding UHHonesty Policy – Due With Lab Assignment #1

Miscellaneous!

If you don’t meet the prerequisites for the course (MATH 1431 –Calculus 1), you will be dropped from the course.

! Questions on Labs and Lab Grading Should Always First be

Referred to the TAs

! You must receive a grade of C- or better to count toward

degree or use as a prerequisite. You can only attempt a class

in Engineering twice (W counts as an attempt).

Chapter 1. Engineering Analysis

and Spreadsheets


15/21


Engineering Analysis andSpreadsheets

! Engineering analysis is a systematic process foranalyzing and understanding problems that arise in

the various field of engineering

! To carry out this process, we use problem solvingtechniques

! Spreadsheet programs can be used to solve theproblem once you have defined it and set it up

properly


16/21


Spreadsheets allow you to:

! Import, export, store, process, and sort data

! Display data graphically

! Analyze data statistically

! Fit algebraic equations through datasets

! Solve single and simultaneous algebraic equations

! Solve optimization problems


17/21


Examples

Book Example 1.1


18/21


General Problem SolvingTechniques

! Think about the problem before you solve it

! Draw a sketch to visualize it

! Understand the overall purpose of the problem and

its key points! Ask yourself: what information is known? And what

information must be determined?

! Ask yourself: what fundamental engineering principles

apply?


19/21


General Problem SolvingTechniques – Cont’d

! Think about how you will solve the problem

! Develop your solution in an orderly and logical

manner

! Think about the solution: does it make sense?

! Make sure solution is clear and complete

Problem solving is a skill that takes time andpractice


20/21


Engineering Fundamentals

! Equilibrium (e.g., force, flux or chemical equilibrium)

! Conservation laws (mass, energy)

! Rate phenomena
