COURSE TITLE AND NUMBER: CLASS DAYS & TIME:

IOM 3583 - Power and Transportation Technology

PREREQUISITES:

NONE

CATALOG DESCRIPTION OF COURSE:

A study of the generation, transmission, conversion, and application of basic power systems including the interrelationships of hydraulics, pneumatics, and internal combustion engines. Pertinent laboratory experiences in the operation, care, and repair of various types of engines are included.

COURSE PURPOSE:

Power and Transportation Technology is designed to provide the student with an understanding and the fundamental concepts of capital energy resources both depletable and non-depletable and the end use sectors. Energy is studied from a technological standpoint. Capital Energy Resources included are coal, petroleum, natural gas, and nuclear energy. Non-depletable Income Energy Resources studied include direct solar energy and indirect solar energy. Each of these resources serve as topics for investigative study and a review of their relationship to the associated technology. The operation, care, and repair diagnostics for various types of engines will be gained through laboratory experiences utilizing computer simulation, models of devices equipped with energy converters and modular pneumatic and hydraulic trainers. Efficient energy utilization is comparatively studied with attention being given to the three major parts; (1) conversion, (2) storage, and (3) conservation which collectively make up the utilization of energy.

EXPECTED COURSE OUTCOMES:

In order to gain knowledge and obtain a respectable technical understanding of the various forms of energy and power systems which utilize or transform energy, the student will be expected to achieve the following objectives:

(1) Understand the energy supply, energy forms, basic energy laws, know resources, growth patterns, and events leading to energy awareness in our society.

(2) Be aware of what parts of our society consume the energy being supplied within the United States.

(3) Develop an understanding of energy terminology and its relationship to the total energy taxonomy.

(4) Demonstrate an understanding of Energy Resources with regard to types, characteristics, environmental (pollution) considerations, economic
impacts, and new technology.

(5) To analyze the mechanical advantage developed through fluid and pneumatic power systems and compare the utilization limitations of each.

(6) Increase awareness and understanding of practical theoretical mechanical design thereby providing information relative to intelligent selection of energy consuming equipment.

(7) Definitively compare and contrast the technology associated with conversion, storage, and conservation of energy.

(8) Understand the relationship of the transportation, industrial, residential, commercial, and non-energy sectors of society to energy conservation.

A total of 48 classroom meetings have been scheduled. Some flexibility has been allowed in the designated times for each unit.

STUDENT PERFORMANCE ACTIVITIES: (Attendance/Punctuality)

Consistent and punctual class attendance is both expected and required; absences will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Death or grave illness in the family, childbirth, impassable roads are of course, beyond our control. Decision to celebrate anniversaries, for example, or attend concerts, go on hunting safaris, or participate in a variety of extra-curricular affairs are not. Students will be expected to make up any work missed as a result of absence, whether or not the absence was justified. Unannounced Pop Quizzes may not be made up. Excessive absences and tardies will reduce the final grade for the course. Four absences will result in a grade reduction of one letter grade. Six; two letter grades, and more than eight absences will result in an automatic "F" for the course.

ASSIGNMENT DUE DATES:

Assignments are due at the beginning of the class period on the date indicated when the assignment is given. After the assignment due date, work will be accepted up to one week late with a corresponding grade reduction of one letter grade. Reading assignments are considered preparation for the lecture period. The student is responsible for all material assigned even if not discussed in class. Quizzes over assignments may be given without prior announcement.

STUDENT EVALUATION:

Grades will be based upon formal written examinations, periodic quizzes, written assignments, and meaningful class discussion/participation.

Written Exams . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .40%
Unannounced Pop Quizzes/Participation. . . .15%
Laboratory and Outside Assignments . . . . . .25%
Comprehensive Final Exam . . . . . . . . . . . . .20%

1. Class participation means interaction with fellow students and the instructor--not simple presence. Class comments will reflect reading and honest consideration of the viewpoints of fellow students.

2. Written examinations and the final examination will constitute the formal written evaluation instruments utilized in this course. Unannounced Pop Quizzes cannot be made up.

3. Performance on examinations and subsequent cumulative course averages will be based upon standard definitive grade values as indicated below:

90 - 100 = A

80 - 89 = B

70 - 79 = C

60 - 69 = D

Below 60 = F

4. The final examination will be administered at 9:00 a.m. Monday, December 11, 2000.

5. Students are advised that the last date during the semester when they may drop a course with an automatic "W" will be Friday, September 29, 2000. If you decide to drop after this date, you will receive the grade you have earned up to the drop date. The grade of "W" will be assigned if your grade is a "D" or higher; and an "F" will be assigned if you stop attending and have not turned in assignments or have not taken scheduled exams prior to the drop date.

6. Students wanting to visit with the instructor about their standing in the class may visit him in his office which is located in the Practical Arts Building, Room PA-B11 or by appointment in his office in the Administration Building, Room Admin.- B11. Office hours indicated above are also posted adjacent to the door.

COURSE AND TEACHER EVALUATION:

Students enrolled in this class will have an opportunity to evaluate the course and instructor. A uniform institutional evaluation will be supplied by the instructor during the twelfth week of the semester for the purpose of evaluation.

ADA COMPLIANCE:

If any member of the class feels that he/she has a disability and needs special accommodations of any nature whatsoever, the instructor will work with you and the University's Office of Student Affairs to provide reasonable accommodations to ensure that you have a fair opportunity perform in this class. Please advise the instructor of such disability and the desired accommodations at the first class attended.
