SOE C&C Business – Faculty Meeting – October 3 rd , 2016

Approvals

Electrical & Computer Engineering Catalog Motion

A. Adding ECE 4223 to the nanotechnology minor – approved SOE C&C 9/13/16Motion to include “ECE 4223-nanophotonics” as professional requirement course for the minor in nanotechnology was approved.

B. Adding ECE4451 as a computer engineering professional requirement - approved SOE C&C 9/13/16Motion to include “ECE 4451- Introduction to Hardware Security and Trust” as professional requirement course for the computer engineering program was approved

C. Replace CSE 1102 with CSE 1729 in EE curriculum – approved pending CSE department – SOE C&C 9/13/16It was moved and approved that CSE 2050 be listed as an alternate course for CSE1102 in the EE course selection guide. So that the freshman second semester course selection guide would be listed in part as: CSE1102 – Object Oriented Design/ CSE 2050 or ENGR 1166-Foundation of Engineering

D. ECE 4132 catalog update – tabled – pending new course description – SOE C&C 9/13/16The proposed changes in the course title, course description, and prerequisite for ECE 4132 were approved.

MEM Catalog Motion• MEM Faculty meeting, 5-4-16 • The following change was approved by the MEM faculty, 5 in favor, 2 abstain. • Motion 1: Remove ME 3221 (Manufacturing Automation) as a prerequisite for

MEM 4971W (Senior Design Project I). • Rationale: This prerequisite was carried over from the previous course MEM

4915W which included a one-semester senior design experience delivered in the Spring. Currently ME 3221 is offered only in the Fall term, as is MEM 4971W, causing difficulty for students. Removal of the prerequisite will typically allow for the two courses to be taken concurrently, but may also allow for a student graduating in a Fall semester to take ME 3221 in his/her final semester when necessary.

CHEG Catalog Motion• CHEG C&C votes 4/6/16 – approved • 1. Removing CHEG 3127 as a prerequisite for CHEG 3128• 2. Removing CHEG 3127 as a corequisite for CHEG 3123

MECHANICAL CATALOG CHANGES – Approved 12/3/15 SOE C&C1. Elective courses listed below have been offered at least twice, with minimal or no changes as ME

3295 Special Topics in Mechanical Engineering. Proposal is to add these courses into Undergraduate Catalog with permanent course numbers:

The grading scheme is provided as a guideline for distributing your effort and for ESTIMATING a final grade. Weighting of the numerical version of the final grades is completed approximately according to this syllabus. The scale for translating the numerical final grade to a letter grade is based on the performance of the entire class and thus may shift based on skewing in the final distribution. Determination of final letter grades is at the discretion of the teaching team.

Reading:It is important to read the assigned material before class , since much of the class time will be spent reviewing materials and working example problems.

Homework:Homework assignments and due dates are listed on the Class Schedule below. There will be a total of four homework assignments. Homeworks are due BEFORE class starts on the due date, i.e. on or before 4:59 PM of the due date. Late homework will not be accepted. Homework solutions will be available on HuskyCT on the assignment due date.

Journal Paper Reviews:Journal paper reviews and due dates are listed on the Class Schedule below. A journal paper review constitutes reading the specific journal paper (listed below), completing a one-page worksheet summary (provided in class), participating in the associated class discussion and turning in the one-page worksheet

summary at the end of class. The one-page worksheet summary addresses, at a minimum, the following questions: what is the problem of interest; how can theoretical/computational/experimental mechanics address this problem; what are the strengths/weaknesses of the research; and what are the clinical applications of this research? Addition pages may be attached to the worksheet summary. There will be a total of eight journal paper reviews. Late reviews will not be accepted.

Midterm and Final Exams:The Midterm and Final Exams will be approximately two hours in length. Make-up exams will not be given except in the case of documented medical emergency.

Final Project - Presentation:Each student will select a specific journal paper (in collaboration with the instructor) to study and present to the entire class. The presentation is formal (prepared slides on technical content for digital projector) and 15 minutes in length (15-20 slides in total) with an additional 5 minutes for questions. Grading is determined using the ‘Presentation Rubric’ for evaluating student presentations.

Final Project - Report:Each student will select a specific soft biological tissue (in collaboration with the instructor) to study, and will write an original report (6000-9000 words excluding both figure captions and references) on this specific soft biological tissue. An overview of the tissue’s constituents, morphological structure and relevant biology should be detailed. How do these aspects affect possible continuum descriptions and constitutive modeling of the tissue?

Syllabus:The syllabus of this course will be evolving throughout this semester. The latest version can be downloaded from HuskyCT website (http://huskyct.uconn.edu).

Violation of Academic Integrity:All work (exams/homeworks/projects) submitted by students must be their own original effort, copying of solutions, etc. from any source constitutes plagiarism and is not permitted. Furthermore, students should not try to obtain exams from former Biomechanics students, nor will students disclose exam questions to other students who have not yet taken an exam or to future students of the class. A violation of this policy will result in a minimum penalty of an F for the exam in question, and a maximum penalty of dismissal and an F for the class. Violations of Academic Integrity will be reported to the Academic Dean, in which case additional penalties may result. Community Standards has been entrusted with the responsibility of managing Responsibilities of Community Life: The Student Code (http://community.uconn.edu/the- student-code-pdf).

Policy Against Discrimination, Harassment and Inappropriate Romantic Relationships:The University is committed to maintaining an environment free of discrimination or discriminatory harassment directed toward any person or group within its community – students, employees, or visitors. Academic and professional excellence can flourish only when each member of our community is assured an atmosphere of mutual respect. All members of the University community are responsible for the maintenance of an academic and work environment in which people are free to learn and work without fear of discrimination or discriminatory harassment. In addition, inappropriate Romantic relationships can undermine the University’s mission when those in positions of authority abuse or appear to abuse their authority. To that end, and in accordance with federal and state law, the University prohibits discrimination and discriminatory harassment, as well as inappropriate Romantic relationships, and such behavior will be met with appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal from the University. More information is available at http://policy.uconn.edu/?p=2884.

Reading: Students are responsible for the assigned material from the course text, whether covered in class or not. Material should be read prior to lectures.

Special Events: Students are encouraged to attend special events by experts visiting UConn. Bonus points of 3.33% for each event will be added to the final grade. In order to receive credit, students must attend the seminar and write a brief (roughly one page) report with three sections discussing (i) the motivations for the speaker’s research (including significant experiments or theories cited by the speaker) (ii) significant contributions made by the speaker, and (iii) remaining challenges or new research areas proposed by the speaker.

Homework: Weekly homework assignments will be due at the beginning of each Tuesday lecture (except for the final homework) and will be graded on the demonstrated level of effort. The software package Mathematica is required for computing and visually representing results. All homework problems, including proofs but with the exception of ~ 1 page written assignments, is to be conducted and handed in using Mathematica. Logical thought, assumptions, units, etc. will be labeled using commenting format, and all graphs will have axes, units, and plots clearly labeled. Late homework will not be accepted. The two lowest homework grades will be dropped from the final grade.

Exams: Exams will include two mid-terms as well as a comprehensive final exam. Exams are open book with one double-sided notes sheet allowed (to be stapled to exam). Make-up exams may be scheduled prior to final examinations for students who were previously excused from a mid-term exam due to a verifiable illness or other officially documented circumstance.

Final Project: The final project will consist of a 20 minute presentation on a topic relevant to nanoscale thermal transport, quantum confined systems, or nanoscience. Students are required to discuss their proposed topic with and obtain approval from Prof. Pettes prior to the 5 minute topic proposal presentation on 10/7.
