  2. Objectives • Introduce sub-disciplines • Where courses and curriculum are going • Make courses relevant • Develop certain skills

  3. Science, Technology & Engineering • Scientia—Latin for knowledge • Science is knowledge

  4. Science, Technology & Engineering • Scientia—Latin for knowledge • tecnh—Greek for the art or skill in making things • Technology is the knowledge or study of making things

  5. Science, Technology & Engineering • Scientia—Latin for knowledge • tecnh—Greek for the art or skill in making things • Ingenium—Latin for mental power • Words like ingenuity, engineering, engine (ie, search engine) come from ingenium • Engineering is the ingenuity of your imagination

  6. Outline of Course • Meeting times • As per schedule on web • Meeting locations • As scheduled on web • Meeting frequency • Once per week • One (or two lectures) followed by a lab/demonstration the next week

  7. Teaching Assistant • Justin Cowder will be the overall course TA. • Justin can be reached at jcowder@udel.edu and has an office in SPC 131. • We will have different TAs for each lab or demo, as noted later.

  13. Lab Reports: Details • Due one week after the lab session at 4:00 pm. Sharp • Late reports not accepted without prior approval (which is rare). Really. Not kidding. • Word processed, Times/Times New Roman font, 12 point single-spaced • Unless otherwise specified by lab instructor, up to 2 pages maximum description + up to 3 pages for tables, diagrams, graphs, etc.

  14. Lab Reports: Outline • Objectives • Methods • Results • Discussion • Conclusions

  15. Demonstration Reports: Details • Due one week after the lab session at 4:00 pm. • Late demo reports also not accepted without prior approval (need to be extremely creative). We mean it—don’t turn in late work. • Word processed, Times/Times New Roman font, 12 point single-spaced • Unless otherwise specified by lab instructor, up to 1 pages maximum description + up to 2 pages for tables, diagrams, graphs, etc.

  16. Demonstration Reports: Outline • Objectives • Demonstration • Outcome The last demo will be an on-line test that will be pass-fail. There will be no final exam.

  17. Help? • Each lab will have a different professor in charge and a TA • http://www.me.udel.edu/meeg102 • Overall questions, problems, and suggestions may be addressed to me: Dr. Tom Buchanan 126 Spencer Lab (buchanan@udel.edu) 831-2410
