| 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 destructive and non-destructive testing. Communication Outcome, Mathematics Outcome, Technological Literacy Outcome, Active Learning Strategies | ||||||||
| 2. | Work individually
or in teams to complete projects, lab experiments, and assignments related
to the theories, concepts, principles, and applications covered in the lecture
or demonstration portion of the course. Communication Outcome, Mathematics Outcome, Technological Literacy Outcome, Active Learning Strategies |
||||||||
| 3. | Collect, analyze, and tabulate data in an orderly format to prepare a college level technical report using computer software packages such as AutoCAD, Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, Excel, FeatureCAM Manufacturing Software, Coordinate Measuring software, MD Solids, Working Model 2D.

| 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: | |||||||||
| Refer to the Pellissippi State 2004-2006 Catalog & Handbook; Pages 62-67. | |||||||||
| C. Accommodations for disabilities: | |||||||||
| If
you need accommodation because of a disability, if you have emergency medical
information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building
must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately. Privately
after class or in the instructor's office. To request accommodations students must register with Services for Students with Disabilities: Goins 127 or 131, Phone: (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TDD. |
