3.

Use software to produce professional sets of drawings. Communication Outcome

 

4.

Use Microsoft Word to generate a report documenting one or more Pro/ENGINEER/Inventor commands and what improvements might be made in future releases. Technological Literacy Outcome

 

5.

Participate in open discussions regarding the strengths and weaknesses of Pro/ENGINEER/Inventor commands and what improvements might be made in future releases. Technological Literacy Outcome, Transitional Strategies, Active Learning Strategies

 

6.

Use the Internet and electronic mail to communicate effectively between the instructor and other students.  Communication Outcome

 

7.

Locate and use desired ISO and ANSI standards to produce professional drawings.  Communication Outcome

*Strategies and outcomes listed after instructional processes reference TBR’s goals for strengthening general education knowledge and skills, connecting coursework to experiences beyond the classroom, and encouraging students to take active and responsible roles in the educational process.

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.  Labs are considered instructional activities, and attendance is required.

 

B. Academic Misconduct:

 

Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is subject to disciplinary action. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course. 
Note: It is expected and desirable that CID students assist other students. However, students may only submit work completed by themselves.

 

C.  Accommodations for disabilities:

 

If you need accommodations 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 Office located in J.L. Goins Administration Building, Room 127 or 131or by phone: (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TTD.

 

D. Equipment:

 

Students are expected to take utmost care when using equipment provided by Pellissippi State.  No tobacco use, eating, drinking will be allowed in labs.  Students are not to load unauthorized software on the computers. Do not use floppy disks for CAD drawings in any other computers other than in CID labs.  Students are responsible for maintaining current copies of drawings on their disks. Do not relocate computers, monitors, digitizers or keyboards without supervision by an instructor.  Do not copy, delete or move files without instruction by an instructor.
