ABET MME Program Outcomes Supported by the Course:
MME departmental program outcomes that are supported by this course are as follows:
(a) Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics including statistics, multivariable
calculus and differential equations, science including physics, and engineering.
(c) Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
(e) Ability to identify, formulate and solve engineering problems.
(f) Understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
Note Regarding ABET MME Outcomes:
ABET program outcomes are defined for the MME program that must be achieved by
graduating students. Each course supports several of the outcomes incrementally but must
not necessarily achieve them fully.
Grading:
Activity Percent Comment
Online Participation 15% As monitored by FIU Online System & Connect:
Online participation, practice problems,
discussion board.
Quizzes 15% No make-ups will be offered for quizzes.
On-Campus Midterm Exam 30% Open book only. 1 page of formula sheet allowed.
Final Exam 40% Open book only. 2 pages of formula sheets allowed.
Final is a comprehensive exam.

Exam Policy:
During the exams, a personal calculator may be used. See the calculator policy below.
Laptops, computers, phones, mp3 players or any electronic device will not be allowed.
Lecture notes, PowerPoint files and problem solutions will not be allowed.
No material or calculator may be shared by students.
Individually-prepared one letter-size sheet of formulas will be allowed in the midterm
exam, two sheets in the final exam.
Calculator Policy:
Only the following calculators will be allowed during exams and quizzes:
• Casio: All fx-115 models. Any Casio calculator must contain fx-115 in its model
name.
• Hewlett Packard: HP 33s and HP 35s models, but no others.
• Texas Instruments: All TI-30X and TI-36X models. Any Texas Instruments
calculator must contain either TI-30X or TI-36X in its model name.
Students can use only their own calculator. No calculator can be shared by students.
Proctored Off-Campus Exams:
The following university policy will be used in this online course:
• Students are responsible for scheduling and paying any extra costs if they are
unable to attend the on-campus proctored exam and must arrange an alternative
through one of the following options:
o Students will locate a proctoring center. Proctoring centers can be located
through the National College Testing Association site: http://www.ncta-
testing.org/cctc/find.php. Refer to the “Proctoring Center Agreement
Form.”
o Students will locate a virtual proctoring center such as Proctor U
(http://www.proctoru.com/). Refer to the “Proctoring Center Agreement
Form.”
• Students must select a proctoring center or virtual proctoring center no later than
two weeks before the date of any scheduled proctored exam and notify the
instructor of their choice and contact information.

Correspondence via E-mail:
Each student is required to provide a reliable “permanent” e-mail address for
correspondence. Various announcements and reminders will be sent via e-mail
throughout the semester.
Students are expected to check their e-mail regularly and make sure their inboxes are not
full as the bounced mail messages will not be sent again.
Online Practice Problem Assignments and Online Quizzes:
Online practice problem assignments will be posted at the course web site. Students are
required to solve these problems to practice the theory introduced in lectures and
textbook. Hence, these problems will prepare the students for quizzes and midterms.
Online quizzes will also be given regularly. Timeframe allowed to solve the problem,
permitted number of trials and hints provided will be more limited relative to the practice
problem assignments.
At the end of the semester, the lowest quiz score and the lowest practice problem
assignment score will be dropped.
Filling out and submission of online course evaluation forms that will be available at FIU
Online will count as an extra quiz grade.
Make-up Exams:
Make-up exams will be allowed only after the student provides a medical doctor’s
original report describing the problem and a statement that it was an emergency. The
report must include the doctor’s address and phone number. The Department will contact
and verify the situation before a test day is scheduled.
No make-up will be provided for missed quizzes under any circumstance. If a student
misses a quiz, he/she should be prepared to receive a 0 score as a result.
Incomplete Grades:
A grade of “incomplete” will not be assigned to replace an unwanted grade. In order to be
eligible to receive “incomplete,” only a single component of the entire coursework needs
to be missing. The reason for failure to fulfill the requirement in time must be officially
proved by the student (e.g., a medical doctor’s official letter), and verified by the
Department in order to receive an “incomplete” grade.

The University requires that a student must fill out an “Incomplete Grade Form” before
the incomplete grade is assigned. The form will be signed by the student and the professor
before such grade is assigned.
Academic Misconduct:
Academic dishonesty is a serious offense and will be treated according to the University
policy as outlined below.
Florida International University is a community dedicated to generating and imparting
knowledge through excellent teaching and research, rigorous and respectful exchange of
ideas, and community service.
All students should respect the right of others to have an equitable opportunity to learn
and honestly to demonstrate the quality of their learning. Therefore, all students are
expected to adhere to a standard of academic conduct, which demonstrates respect for
themselves, their fellow students, and the educational mission of the University.
All students are deemed by the University to understand that if they are found responsible
for academic misconduct, they will be subject to the Academic Misconduct procedures
and sanctions, as outlined in the Student Handbook.
Ethics:
All work prepared and submitted in this course in the form of projects, presentations,
problem solutions in quizzes and exams are expected to be original and produced by the
submitting student.
