  1. Introduction to Environmental Engineering CIEG 207 Dr. Glass 11:10-12:00 T-Th

  2. Instructor: Dr. Glass Office:LKD 3017 Telephone: 806-6715 E-mail: cglass@howard.edu Office Hours: Tuesdays 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. or by appointment Course objectives: To introduce the concepts and terminology required for environmental engineering practice. Grading: Two Midterms: 40% HW and Quizzes: 30% Final Exam: 30% Syllabus

  3. Homework will be collected at the beginning of class on the date due. • The quizzes on the reading assignments will be given and will be unannounced. • Text: Vesilind, Introduction to Environmental Engineering, PWS Publishing, 1997. • Midterm 1: Chap. 1,2, & 3 Feb. 10, 1999 • Midterm 2: Chap. 4, 5, 6, & 7 Mar. 16, 1999 • Final Exam: 50% Chap. 8, 9 & 10, 50% Cumulative Final given on May 12, 1999, 8 am –10 am

  4. Policies/Philosophy • Reading the text is not optional in this course. • The only purpose of the unannounced quizzes is to ensure that the reading is being accomplished. • My goal in the lectures will be to clarify concepts in the reading, supplement the reading material, and stress concepts of particular importance.

  5. Questions on the grading of exams, homework assignments, or quizzes should be made within one week of their return. After that period there will be no discussion about the grade.

  6. As long as the average on the individual exams is above 75 out of a possible 100 there will be no curving. If the average exam score is less than 75, the exam will be curved. The curve will assume a normal distribution, with letter grades determined by the average and the standard deviation, i.e.:

  7. If the average is 70 with a standard deviation of 10; A>90, 89.9>B>80.0, 79.9>C>70.0, 69.9>D>60  If the average is 50 with a standard deviation of 7; A>64, 63.9>B>57,56.7>C>50, 49.9>D>43

  8. “Excuses are tools of the incompetent which build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness, those who use them seldom amount to anything.” Author unknown

  9. Notes from Medical doctors and statements of bereavement are the only reasons for being unprepared or not completing assignments. No excuses or explanations of late work are necessary because no late work will be accepted. Plan to start assignments early. If you have a pet don’t leave your work in a place where they can destroy it! Back up disks! If reviews of the material before the exam day are requested a study session can be arranged a few days before the midterms or final.

  10. Questions??? Discussion??? By the way, my notes are on the web at www.imappl.org/~cglass
