  • TEXTBOOK

    Required: Course lecture book to be purchased at University Bookstore.

    Optional: Mechanics of Materials, R.R. Craig, Wiley, 3rd edition, 2011.

    Reference texts: Copies of three different mechanics of materials textbooks (by authors Craig, Hibbeler

    and Philpot) will be available at the reserve desk for the Engineering/Science library on the second

    floor of WALC. These books will be available for two-hour checkout starting during the second week

    of classes.

    COURSE BLOG https://www.purdue.edu/freeform/me323/

    A course blog will be used for the delivery for much of the course material, as well as provide a

    discussion forum for students interacting while learning from each other in the course. Please visit this

    site to see what material is available there. Note that the course lecture book contains many examples;

    solutions for many of these examples are made available to you through this blog in either YouTube

    or PDF format. The blog also contains a number of examples (with solution videos) not included in

    the lecture book. You can also find a large number of conceptual questions on the blog that you can

    use in preparation for the midterm and final exams in the course. You are asked to work out these

    conceptual problems on your own; in general, solutions will not be provided.

    The course blog also accommodates discussion threads for us to use during the course. Please take

    advantage of these discussion threads to ask and/or answer questions of your colleagues as you work

    through the homework assignments and exam preparation in the course. The ME 323 course

    instructors/TAs will monitor these discussions, and join in on the conversations as needed to answer

    questions. A one-page set of instructions for the course blog is attached at the end of this course

    syllabus document.

    SCHEDULE

    A topical schedule for the course is attached at the end of this syllabus. This schedule includes the

    daily reading assignment for the course lecture book. The material should be read prior to each class

    meeting.

    GRADING

    Your course grade will be based on a straight grading scale: 97-100% A+; 93-97% A; 90-93% A-; 87-

    90% B+; 83-87% B; 80-83% B-; 77-80% C+; 73-77% C; 70-73% C-; 67-70% D+; 63-67% D; 60-63%

    D-;

  • Grades

    Homework + Quiz 28%

    Blog Q&A 2%

    Exam 1 and 2 25% or 45%

    Final Exam 45% or 25%

    If you score better on the average of Exams 1 and 2

    than you do on the Final, the average of these two

    midterm exams will count as 45% and the Final will

    count as 25% of your final grade, vice versa.

    Homework and quizzes: 28% (total)

    • Typically, one homework set will be due every week, except for weeks during which exams are given. Homework must be submitted by 11:59pm (EST) on Wednesday unless otherwise

    posted. Please post your HW on Gradescope on the appropriate HW link using a single PDF

    file (you will be asked to prescribe which page(s) each problem is on in Gradescope). Late

    HW will not be accepted without a personalized excuse (i.e., a generic PUSH note is not

    sufficient). Please review your homework submission after it has been uploaded onto

    Gradescope to ensure that all work has been properly submitted. If for some reason you have

    problems posting your HW on Gradescope, please email the instructor the PDF of your HW

    before the 11:59pm (EST) deadline with an explanation. Your work needs to be presented with

    a logical thought process and in a neat, easy-to-read style. Failure to do so can result in a loss

    of points in your homework grade.

    • Unannounced quizzes will be given regularly throughout the semester. Make-up quizzes will not be given.

    Midterm and final exams: 70% (total)

    All exams will be given online, closed book, and closed notes. A list of relevant equations will be

    provided with the exam and posted online. There will be a 30-minute grace period to submit your

    solution on Gradescope using a single PDF file for each problem. If an exam solution is not submitted

    and you do not inform your instruction of technical difficulties before the end of the grace period, the

    grade will be recorded as a zero. Make-up exams will be given only in the event of documented illness or emergency.

    • Two, two-hour midterm exams will be given during the semester on dates shown on the course schedule.

    • A final exam will be given during the regular University final exam period at the end of the semester. The date of the exam will be announced later in the course.

    Regrade Requests: Regrade requests may be considered for graded exams or homework but only in

    cases where (a) points were incorrectly added, or (b) the grader clearly did not read or did misread

    part of the solution. If you have a genuine regrade request, please submit a regrade request on

    Gradescope with a clear explanation on why your exam/homework/project should be regraded.

    Regrade requests will be considered only if submitted within a week of when you first receive your graded work.

    ELECTRONIC DEVICES

    You are asked to not use electronic communication devices during class time (this includes

    reading/sending text messages and using a laptop computer for other than taking class notes). Please

    turn off cell phones before coming to class and put away your cell phone before the start of class.

    CALCULATOR POLICY

    This course follows the Mechanical Engineering Calculator Policy. Accordingly, only TI-30XIIS

    calculators are to be used for quizzes and exams.

  • ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY

    Faculty and students working together can promote a fair and positive academic environment. All

    students are expected to conduct themselves in an ethical manner. Students are permitted to discuss

    homework assignments together, but should do their own work when preparing a problem solution

    (i.e., copying of a solution manual, an on-line resource such as Chegg, or another student’s work, as

    well as posting problems to an on-line service such as Chegg, is explicitly prohibited). Exams are to be completed without unauthorized assistance. Any student caught cheating on an assignment or exam

    will receive disciplinary action, up to and including receiving a grade of “F” for the course. In addition, documentation of the infraction will be forwarded to the Office of the Dean of Students

    (ODOS), which may result in additional disciplinary sanctions, up to and including expulsion from

    the University. All of us are equally responsible for ensuring a fair and positive environment. If you

    become aware of any dishonest activities, please report the infractions to the instructors (anonymously

    if you prefer) and we will investigate the concerns. If there is sufficient evidence of academic

    dishonesty, we will take disciplinary action. Finally, remember if you are complicit in assisting a peer

    to cheat, you are equally guilty. Please take to heart Purdue’s Honor Pledge:

    ATTENDANCE

    Students should stay home and contact the Protect Purdue Health Center (496-INFO) if they feel ill,

    have any symptoms associated with COVID-19, or suspect they have been exposed to the virus. In the current context of COVID-19, in-person attendance will not be a factor in the final grades, but the

    student still needs to inform the instructor of any conflict that can be anticipated and will affect the

    submission of an assignment or the ability to take an exam. Only the instructor can excuse a student from a course requirement or responsibility. When the student is unable to make direct contact with

    the instructor and is unable to leave word with the instructor’s department because of circumstances

    beyond the student’s control, and in cases of bereavement, quarantine, or isolation, the student or the

    student’s representative should contact the Office of the Dean of Students via email or phone at 765-

    494-1747. Our course Brightspace includes a link on Attendance and Grief Absence policies under the

    University Policies menu.

    LEAVING CLASS

    You are expected to arrive to class on time and remain in the classroom throughout the class period.

    If you have a medical condition that requires you to step out of the room during the class period, please

    see your instructor at the start of the term. Otherwise, please plan ahead so that you do not need to take

    breaks in the middle of class.

    CLASSROOM GUIDANCE REGARDING PROTECT PURDUE

    The Protect Purdue Plan, which includes the Protect Purdue Pledge, is campus policy and as such all

    members of the Purdue community must comply with the required health and safety guidelines.

    Required behaviors in this class include: staying home and contacting the Protect Purdue Health Center

    (496-INFO) if you feel ill or know you have been exposed to the virus, wearing a mask in classrooms

    and campus building, at all times (e.g., no eating/drinking in the classroom), disinfecting desk/workspace prior to and after use, maintaining proper social distancing with peers and instructors

    (including when entering/exiting classrooms), refraining from moving furniture, avoiding shared use

    of personal items, maintaining robust hygiene (e.g., handwashing, disposal of tissues) prior to, during

    and after class, and following all safety directions from the instructor.

    “As a boilermaker pursuing academic excellence, I pledge to be

    honest and true in all that I do. Accountable together - we are Purdue.”

    https://protect.purdue.edu/plan/https://protect.purdue.edu/pledge/?_ga=2.210401429.1213937682.1590527202-1814553957.1589408073https://protect.purdue.edu/updates/face-covering-protocols/https://protect.purdue.edu/updates/face-covering-protocols/

  • Students who are not engaging in these behaviors (e.g., wearing a mask) will be offered the opportunity

    to comply. If non-compliance continues, possible results include instructors asking the student to leave

    class and instructors dismissing the whole class. Students who do not comply with the required health

    behaviors are violating the University Code of Conduct and will be reported to the Dean of Students

    Office with sanctions ranging from educational requirements to dismissal from the university.

    Any student who has substantial reason to believe that another person in a campus room (e.g.,

    classroom) is threatening the safety of others by not complying (e.g., not wearing a mask) may leave

    the room without consequence. The student is encouraged to report the behavior to and discuss next

    steps with their instructor. Students also have the option of reporting the behavior to the Office of the

    Student Rights and Responsibilities. See also Purdue University Bill of Student Rights.

    CAMPUS EMERGENCIES

    In the event of a major campus emergency (e.g., severe weather, active shooter, etc.), course

    requirements, deadlines and grading percentages are subject to changes that may be necessitated by a

    revised semester calendar or other circumstances. The School of Mechanical Engineering will provide

    details regarding access to information online and any additional procedures that may be needed as soon as they are available or can be obtained by contacting the instructors or TAs via mail or phone.

    You are expected to read your @purdue.edu email on a frequent basis.

    STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES

    If you have a disability that requires special academic accommodation, please make an appointment

    to speak with your instructor within the first week of the semester in order to discuss any adjustments

    and bring your accommodation letter from the Disability Resource Center. It is important that we are

    informed about this at the beginning of the semester. It is the student's responsibility to notify the

    Disability Resource Center (http://www.purdue.edu/drc) of an impairment/condition that may require

    accommodations and/or classroom modifications. If a student does not notify their instructor well in

    advance about the need for accommodations, there may not be time to arrange some accommodations.

    ACADEMIC GUIDANCE IN THE EVENT A STUDENT IS QUARENTINED OR ISOLATED

    If you become quarantined or isolated at any point in time during the semester, in addition to support

    from the Protect Purdue Health Center, you will also have access to an Academic Case Manager who

    can provide you academic support during this time. Your Academic Case Manager can be reached at

    [email protected] and will provide you with general guidelines/resources around communicating

    with your instructor, be available for academic support, and offer suggestions for how to be successful

    when learning remotely. Importantly, if you find yourself too sick to progress in the course, notify

    your academic case manager and notify me via email. They will make arrangements based on your

    particular situation. The Office of the Dean of Students ([email protected]) is also available to support

    you should this situation occur

  • ME 323 – Course Blog Fall 2020

    The blog discussion threads for this course are intended to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas among the students in the class, and between the students and the instructor. From this blog, you can get/provide assistance from/to other people in the class. We have found that you can often learn as much from helping others as from getting help for yourself. LOGGING IN: You can access all of the information on the blog except adding blog posts without logging in. In order to log in, do the following:

    1. Use your Purdue Career Account login. Do NOT use the BoilerKey (two-factor) authentication.

    2. On the first login, you will need to receive approval prior to being able to post comments. We will get this approval done quickly as possible. It is recommended that you log onto the blog during the first week of class in order to get this approval process done in time for you to use the blog throughout the semester.

    ANONYMITY IN POSTING:
When you first log onto the course blog and are approved by your instructor, your default User Name is set to that of your Purdue Career Account. This User Name will appear with each comment that you post on the blog. If you would like to post anonymously, you are able to choose a new “Nickname” that will be displayed instead of your User Name on the comments. To do so:

    1. Go to your “Edit my profile” in the upper right of the Admin Bar under “Howdy”.
 2. Add a nickname in the “Nickname” (required)” box.
 3. In the “Display name publicly as”, choose the desired nickname from the drop-

    down list. 4. Click “Update Profile” at the bottom of the page.

    You may add additional Nicknames, and switch among these for different displays throughout the semester. If being anonymous to your colleagues is important to you for your postings, choose nicknames that will help you maintain your anonymity.
