Honors Principles of Engineering - PoE

Mr. John Bayer [email protected] Room: 123 Phone: (763) 506-6731

INTRODUCTION:
If youve seen another syllabus from me this document will be very familiar, but its not exactly the same. Its a good idea to review this information and think about your expectations as the new course begins. High achievement standards exist for CEMS students, and it is my hope that this syllabus can be a part of your success. Thank you!

MISSION STATEMENT:
My mission statement reflects what you can expect from me. Im proud to be a member of Blaine High School and the District 11 family of schools. Im excited about teaching at BHS and working with you and your family. It is my goal to give all students the opportunity to learn, grow, and make the most of their school experience. How students use the opportunity is what determines whether the experience is of value to them. Expect me to be excited and passionate about engineering because it is exciting! Being an engineer is one of the most challenging and rewarding endeavors in life. Its challenging because there are frequent setbacks in the engineering process. Its rewarding because engineers can truly make a difference and they change the world - in big and small ways on a daily basis. Be ready for a fantastic engineering class, filled with learning, exploration, challenge, and fun!

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS:
My classroom expectations are a mission statement for you. They reflect my daily expectations for your conduct as a student - both in and out of school. These guidelines arent just important for the success of our class, they are important for your future success in engineering - or any other career you choose- and as a result, for the future of this nation. That may sound too dramatic, but its still true. CEMS tends to attract the kind of students who will be leaders in the future, because theyre leaders now. As a result, you and your classmates are among the most talented students in the school. In past years, CEMS students have tended to fall into two broad categories: those that use their talents to learn more, and those that use their talents to learn the minimum easier. You know where you fit in. This is designed to be a college-prep course. It will help you prepare for college whether you receive college credit or not. The course is an Honors course because its been designed to challenge you. Trying to learn the minimum easier isnt the most successful strategy in this course, and in other CEMS courses you may take. Have a great experience or not the choice is yours. The successful student in this class, and in engineering, will be able to say:

1. I have Integrity.
This means you do the right thing even when nobody is watching. Integrity is an issue of critical importance in engineering. People trust engineers to be truthful - even when the news is bad or things dont go as expected. The potential for catastrophe exists when this trust is given to individuals who lack the courage to be honest. So, among other things, integrity means you tell the truth. For example, many assignments in BE will be cooperative other times I will specify that you must do individual work. Cheating or dishonesty of any kind simply will not be tolerated in this class. Please dont go there. Its rude to put me in the position of giving you a zero for plagiarism or cheating.

2. I am Respectful.
Students use the word respect a lot, but they usually cant tell me what it means when I ask them. What does respect mean to you? Here are a few examples of what I mean: You say please and thank you. You share. You keep your hands off other students. You listen to other people even if you think theyre wrong. You may know a lot, but you dont know everything. So let other people finish when theyre talking. If you finish an assignment early you ask if anyone needs help, rather than playing Minesweeper, Linerider, or some other stupid online game. You dont steal things. When class starts you stop talking. You dont interrupt Mr. Bayer to show your neighbor the latest news on fantasy sports. You get the idea!

Also, you understand that respect is earned. If you want to be respected, respect others first.

3. I am Responsible
This means YOU take primary responsibility for your learning not your parents, not Mr. Bayer, and not your team members. If YOU miss class YOU find out what YOU missed. And that might mean asking more than one time, at an appropriate time not at the beginning of class. You bring the things you need. You come to class on time. You get your work done AND get it turned in - on time. You choose to have a positive attitude, an open mind, and a willingness to work to learn. Being responsible means you produce results rather than excuses.

4. I am Safe
This means you value the safe learning environment at BHS and are dedicated to preserving it. You dont take shortcuts when it comes to safety. You are committed to establishing safe work habits, increasing your situational awareness, and developing a safety attitude. If you see something unsafe you report it, to me or an affected student. Dont be afraid to say, Hey, that looks unsafe! You should If youre not sure, ask. I can only ensure a safe classroom free of injuries if every student is also committed to safety.

Necessary Class Materials

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Pencils and Pens Engineering Notebook graph paper preferred Scientific Calculator Three ring binder for storing assignments - dedicated to this class Handouts, etc. that are provided to you dont lose them

PROCEDURES: Tardy Policy: When the bell rings you must be in your seat ready to learn or you are tardy. Students receive a referral to
the office and a one hour study/work detention with me after the third tardy. If you are tardy please sign into the tardy book. Here are the following consequences for being tardy, consistent with school policy: 1st offense Verbal warning 2nd offense - Teacher/student conference 3rd offense - Teacher/student conference, after school detention, parent notification and referral *** Please be on time and we will have no issues!

Behavioral Issues: Students are reminded to maintain a positive classroom environment that encourages personal
growth and learning. Students that choose to engage in behavior which threatens other students opportunity to learn will be subject to disciplinary consequences. This includes horseplay, talking, and in general acting like an eighth grader.

Assignments and Extra Credit: Students, please keep on top of homework and assignment deadlines. Assignments
are due at the beginning of class on the due date. Work will be considered incomplete without your first and last name and period. Extra credit is available on a case-by-case basis for students who have completed all assigned work. Extra credit cannot be substituted for missing assignments.

Late Work/Make-Up Work: Late work will lose 10% of the points possible for every day it is late. Assignments that
are more than one week past the original deadline will receive no credit. Students that were absent when work was assigned will be given two days to make up assignments for each day of an excused absence. Grading: Letter grades are based on the following percentages: A 94-100% B+ 87-89% A90-93% B 83-86%

B- 80-82% C+ 77-79%

C 73-76% C- 70-72%

D+ 67-69% D 63-66%

D- 60-62% F Below 60%

Equipment Usage: In this course students will be using a wide variety of technology and equipment. It is each students
responsibility to take care of this equipment and use it safely. For instance, computer privileges may be revoked if students do not follow acceptable use guidelines. We will review district computer policies during the beginning of each term at a minimum with the option to review them more often if it becomes necessary.

Classroom/School Appearance: I take great pride in the classroom and school that I work in. I believe that the school
and classroom should be as neat and organized as possible to promote a positive learning environment. Students are responsible for cleaning up after themselves. No beverages or food, other than water will be allowed in the classroom. Cleaning will not be used as a punishment, however I reserve the right to put the entire class to work vacuuming, scrubbing, mopping, polishing, dusting, and other types of cleaning as it becomes necessary.

Webpage: For legal reasons PLTW items must be posted on a webpage that is password protected to make them
unavailable to search engines. The user name is bhs and the password is bengals (all in lowercase).

Curriculum: We will do our best to cover the entire PoE curriculum this semester. However, there is a lot of material
and even PLTW acknowledges that this is challenging. Ultimately, the students will determine how much material is covered. For the class to stay on schedule, it is imperative that students complete their work by the assigned due date. The following is an outline of possible topics for the course (time permitting):
