| III. Instructional Processes*: | |||||||||
| Students will: | |||||||||
| 1. | Actively listen to
class lectures and participate in class discussions that develop
and reinforce an understanding of the theories, concepts, principles, and applications of trigonometry and algebra required in an industrial environment. Communication Outcome, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Numerical Literacy Outcome, Active Learning Strategies |
||||||||
| 2. | Read, interpret, explain,
evaluate, and analyze hydraulic and pneumatic diagrams
by replicating circuits on hydraulic and pneumatic test stands to increase problem solving skills. Communication Outcome, Problem Solving and Decision Making Outcome, Technological Literacy Outcome, Numerical Literacy Outcome, Active Learning Strategies |
||||||||
| 3. | Analyze, tabulate,
and present collected data in an orderly format to prepare a
college level technical report using computer software packages such as AutoCAD, Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Excel, EZ-Feature Manufacturing Software, Data Myte Statistical Process Control, Ziess-Numerex Coordinate Measuring software, MD Solids, Working Model 2D.

| VI. Policies: | |||||||||
| A. Attendance Policy: | |||||||||
| Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course (Pellissippi State Catalog). Individual departments/programs/ disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent. | |||||||||
| B. Academic Dishonesty: | |||||||||
| Cheating
on a quiz or assigned project will not be tolerated. First offense will
result in immediate dismissal and automatic failure of the course. Assistance from other students is encouraged during the learning stages of the course, but each student is responsible for completing their own course assignments. |
|||||||||
| C. Other Policies: | |||||||||
| Safety
and Equipment Abuse: Repeated safety violations will result in
a reduction of
final grade, at the instructor's discretion. Flagrant violations which result in equipment damage or personal injury will result in automatic failure of the course. Counseling: Counseling is available during posted office hours or by appointment. |
