Course Description:
As a first course in structural engineering, this class provides an introduction to structural concepts, as well as an overview of specific techniques for analyzing trusses, determinate and indeterminate beams, and small frame structures. Structural analysis involves the application of concepts from statics and mechanics of materials to determine internal forces and deflections of structural members and systems.

|
|
Prerequisites:
ENG 2120 or MEEM 2150. It is expected that all students understand (and are able to apply) general concepts of equilibrium; basic force analysis of determinate trusses, beams and frames; shear and moment diagrams for determinate beams; and the superposition of loads. Furthermore, it is assumed that students have mastered basic engineering mathematical concepts from college algebra, integral and differential calculus, as well as linear algebra.

Attendance: Lecture attendance for CE3202 is mandatory. Exams: Exams will be in-class on the dates provided in the course syllabus. Missed exams will receive a score of zero and will not be rescheduled without a university excuse from the office of the Dean of Students. Exam Calculator Policy: Graphing calculators are not allowed on exams, nor are calculators with symbolic equation solving packages. Basic scientific calculators are allowed and encouraged.
Homework: All homework will be collected on
the date due. Homework may be turned in during class or by 5:00 PM to
the CEE3202 mailbox (1st Floor Dillman Hall). Late assignments will not
receive credit but may be turned in for feedback up to three days late.
Scheduling of the Final Exam: The final exam will be give on the day and time specified by the University. No exceptions will be made for this time without a university excuse. Collaboration Policy: Homework sets should be done with minimal collaboration as they are intended to serve as practice for exams. That said, students are free to decide for themselves what level of collaboration they think is appropriate for their own homework preparation. However, wholesale copying another students homework is not likely to be an effective learning strategy. Copying solutions from a solutions manual is also unlikely to be helpful to you and that practice is considered to be cheating. Exams are to be strictly non-collaborative. Course Email List: Dr. Swartz maintains an email list for CE3202 to share information he thinks may benefit the class on an ad-hoc basis. Dr. Swartz considers this information to be a supplement to the classroom experience, not a replacement for lecture attendance. Final Grade Basis: A 93 100 AB 87 92.9 B 83 86.9 BC 77 82.9 C 73 76.9 CD 67 72.9 D 63 66.9 F Below 63 Legal Statement: Michigan Tech has standard policies on academic misconduct and complies with all federal and state laws and regulations regarding discrimination, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
