LEARNING PROCESS: You are the only one solely responsible for your learning success, not your Professor, not the
Department and not the University.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE BEFORE ENTERING THIS
COURSE: Communicate technical information accurately and concisely both orally and in writing, use analysis,
computer software, word processors, etc., to define and develop solutions to technical problems. The skills learned in
dynamics courses are a good basis. .
The student will be expected to study the assigned reading assignments and homework following the schedule. Students
are responsible for ALL material presented in class. This includes any announcements, due dates, changes or clarifications
made in class. The instructor and the materials available to you will be your guidance, but the real learning process takes
place on your own going over examples in class and in communication with the instructor.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES STUDENTS GAIN FROM THIS COURSE:
The objective of this course is to provide the student with the necessary skills to understand and use the Finite Element
Modeling technique for designing parts and complete assemblies.

After taking this class students will be able to:
1) To solve problems involving the basic concepts of finite elements for static and dynamics finite element
problems.
2) To use the computer and generate Finite Element Models in two and three dimensions.
3) To use two and three dimensional SOLIDWORKS models and transform them in Finite element models.
3) To perform computer simulations using the Finite Element Modeling technique to study stress, strain.
Deformations and loading conditions.
4) Understand the concepts of Finite Elements for one, two and three dimensions.

IMPACT ON SUBSEQUENT COURSES IN CURRICULUM: For those enrolled students, who have not
yet participated in the capstone design course, provides a foundation for FEA of the subsequent course topics of
ME500.

COMPUTER USAGE: Computers are used for writing reports (WORD) and presentations (PowerPoint).
Spreadsheets are used as appropriate in doing multiple trade studies. Computational tools such as SOLIDWORKS,
PATRAN, NASTRAN are used as these are the current state of the art tools. .

CLASS FORMAT: This course follows a lecture format. Assignments will be both individual and group.
Groups will be approximately 4 people, and pre-assigned by the instructor. Students are responsible for reading the
assigned material prior to the scheduled class. Class participation is required and part of the course grading.
Students are encouraged to actively participate and to ask questions freely. Students will be expected to present their
work periodically.
COURSE GRADING:

Midterms, quizzes 40%
Homework Assignments 10%
Computer Assignments 30%
Individual Project 15%
Final Exam 10%

Exams and assignments will be graded balancing the procedure used and the correctness of your answer on an equal
basis. Presentation and organization of your assignments will also be considered in grading. There will be Quizzes
approximately one to two weeks apart, including the last week of class. Quizzes and final examwill be closed book
exams. If there is a discrepancy in grading, you have two weeks fromthe date you received it to bring up for
discussion. After that period grades are final. Projects are due on the last day of class. Work turned in after the
deadlines will not be computed in your final grade.

HOMEWORK, COMPUTER ASSIGNMENTS POLICY:
Assignments are issued each week and students work is due in one week unless otherwise noted in the
accompanying class schedule. Assignments are due at the start of class on the due date. Late assignments may be
accepted, but at a loss of 20% of the grade per 24 hours late. Homework assignments will be returned to students
post grading. There will be reading homework and computer assignments. Students are responsible for ALL material
presented in class. This includes any announcements, changes, clarifications on assignments, or due dates. It is
expected that the assignments will be completed and turned in before or on the specified deadlines. There will be no
makeup tests except in cases of confirmed and documented illness or emergency.

As the semester goes on and you realize "things" are not going well for you in this class or you become frustrated with
the computer, be aware of the policy on drops and incomplete. To drop the class you must meet deadlines and an
incomplete is rarely granted and cannot be used to "bail out" of the class.

EXAMINATIONS:
There will be quizzes and exams. These will be announced to cover specific modules of the course. The final
exam will be administered in accordance with the University scheduled time. Make-up exams require the permission
of the instructor prior to the day of the exam.

ATTENDANCE:
Regular attendance is expected. Note that a portion of your grade is based on class participation and self-initiative.
Professional contribution is a goal of this course.

SCHEDULE / CRITICAL DATES:
Last Day of Official Adds/Drops
Holidays
Last Drop Day for Possible Refund
Mid-Term Exam
Spring Break
Last Drop Day (with Approval)
Final Book Reports Due
Final Exam
Other important dates are available from the University Academic Calendar web site.

SPECIAL NOTES:

Students with Disabilities: The California State University provides upon request appropriate academic adjustments
for qualified students with disabilities. For more information, contact the Office of the Dean of Students or the College
of Engineering Director of Students with Disabilities.

Class Web Sites and Student Privacy: Web-based, password-protected class sites are associated with all academic
courses taught at The University. Syllabi, handouts, assignments and other resources are types of information that may
be available within these sites. Site activities could include exchanging e-mail, engaging in class discussions and
chats, and exchanging files. In addition, electronic class rosters will be a component of the sites. Students who do not
want their names included in these electronic class rosters must restrict their directory information in the Office of the
Registrar.

EVALUATION:
The Measurement and Evaluation Center forms for the College of Engineering will be used during the last week of
class to evaluate the course and the instructor.

UNIVERSITY AND CLASSROOM POLICIES

You are the only one responsible for your success in learning, not the Professor, not the Department, not the
University.
CSUS is a high level educational institution and fosters a professional environment. However discipline
problems or attempts to disrupt any aspect of the course, or influence other students to do the same will not
be allowed.
Assignments are to be individual unless assigned as a group. The honor code is to prevail in all
assignments. Copying assignments or exams will at the very least, result in zeroes assigned to ALL
involved.
It is the Mechanical Engineering Department's policy to remove from the major students who copy an
exam or to expel them from the university. Copying or deleting unauthorized disk files will have the same
effect. Logging onto somebody else's account is not permitted.
Students are expected to answer questions on any of the work they hand in and proof they have done the
work themselves.
Students are encouraged to make constructive suggestions to the instructor about any aspect of the course.
Please feel welcome to come and see the Professor.
Students are encouraged also to suggest projects, particular engineering problems or research topics of
interest to the whole class.
The Professor will assist students and conduct the in class as follows:
Encourage free pursuit of learning by students.
Students will be guided by the Professor, but the learning process is the responsibility of the
students themselves.
Students are evaluated solely on an academic basis.
Provide timely and relevant feedback to students
Report incidents of student plagiarism and cheating to the Campus J udicial Officer.
Follow campus procedures in dealing with disruptive student behavior.
Resolve complaints. If students are unhappy with any aspect of the course, they must meet with
the professor and attempt to resolve the issue between them. If they are not able to resolve the
issue, students can address their concerns with the department chair. No complains will be
processed or documents received by the Department or administrative offices in the College
without the knowledge of the Professor and after an attempt has been made to resolve the issue.
Otherwise, such actions constitute backstabbing of Professors, which are unethical at a University
level and may carry disciplinary actions.
Implement accommodation for students authorized by Services to Students with Disabilities
(SSWD) and/or discuss concerns only with SSWD.
Accommodate reasonable student absences for religious observances.
