The objective of CET 301 is to provide the student with the basic analytical tools necessary to analyze beam, frame, and truss structures using classical exact and approximate techniques. It is important that a structural designer have the tools of basic analysis in order to proper check the output from computer-generated analysis and make quick, conservative determinations of stresses, loads, and deflections when computers are not available. Class and Test Scheduling. Midterm tests are scheduled for September 19th, October 17th, and November 21st. The final exam will be December 12th.
Excessive absences can have a negative effect on student performance.
If a student must miss a class, he is expected to have the initiative to cover for himself the material that was missed. Site Directors will be asked to distribute an attendance sheet to be mailed to the instructor along with the submission of each test. It is not the responsibility of the instructor to provide this material. In addition, the student must meet all course requirements as listed in the handout material and be present for all scheduled tests. Absence from class, per se , shall not be considered a reason for lowering a student grade, but may be considered as justification for a lowered grade earned by poor performance shown on tests.
