Module Learning Outcome¶
Summarize the assignments and grading policies of MANE 6313.
Course Assignments & Learning Objectives¶
Learning Objectives¶
| Program Student Learning Outcome | Major Course Requirement/Major Assignment/Examination |
|---|---|
| A. Analyze simple comparitive experiments and experiments with a single factor | Homework |
| B. Select an appropriate experimental designs for experiments with one or more factor(s) | Homework, Factorial projects, RSM project |
| C. Select an appropriate model for design with one or more factor(s) | Homework, Factorial projects, RSM project |
| D. Evaluate statistical analyses of experimental designs | Homework, Factorial projects, RSM project |
| E. Assess the model adequacy of any experimental design | Homework, Factorial Projects, RSM project |
| F. Interpret model results | Homework, Factorial Projects, RSM project |
Course Assignments¶
There are three types of assignments that will be utilized in this course: homework, projects, and participation (3-2-1) assignments.
Assessment of Learning/Grading Policy¶
Your performance in this course will be assessed in the following manner:
| Component | % of Overall Grade |
|---|---|
| Homework | 25% |
| Fractional Factorial Projects | 30% |
| RSM Project | 30% |
| Participation | 15% |
Homework¶
There is only one method to learn and master engineering material - work problems. The best method to ensure that you excel in this course is to diligently complete all of your homework assignments. There will be representative homework problems assigned each week. Solutions will be posted in Brightspace one week after the due date of each homework assignment.
Fractional Factorial Project¶
You will complete a fractional factorial project in two components that are worth 30% of your overall course grade. The first project is to analyze the current operating condition of a manufacturing plant. The second project is to perform a fractional factorial design. The weighting of the two project grades will be announced during the semester.
Further, both components of the fractional factorial project must be submitted and students must receive a score of at least 60%. If a student fails to submit a component or any component has a score lower than 60%, they will receive a grade of F in the course
RSM Project¶
In lieu of a final examination, a response surface methodology (RSM) project will be completed by each student.
As with the Fractional Factorial Project, the RSM project must be submitted and students must receive a score of at least 60%. If a student fails to submit the RSP project or the RSM Project score is lower than 60%, they will receive a grade of F in the course
Participation¶
Embedded in the lesson materials will be various assignments such as 3-2-1 assignments that are more reflective in nature.
Letter Grade Assignment¶
An overall course average will be calculated using the weighting scheme specified above. Your course average will be a value between 0 and 100. Your final letter grade will be assigned using the following definition.
| Course Average | Letter Grade |
|---|---|
| 90 - 100 | A |
| 80 - 89 | B |
| 70 - 79 | C |
| <70 | F |
Late Work¶
Descriptions of each assignment, including due dates, will be provided throughout the course. All assignments should be submitted on their due date using the provided Brightspace drop box. The course policy for late work is a 10% penalty per day for work submitted after the deadline. After one week, no credit will be given for late work. No late work will be accepted after study days. There may be certain assignments where late work will not be accepted. This fact will clearly be stated in the apporpriate assignments.
Students who miss graded assignments will receive a grade of zero. If you are ill or have a serious problem that prevents you from submitting an assignment on the day it is due, please contact me prior to the due date (if possible) and we will arrange an alternative date.
