Skyscraper by Karl Sabbagh Other Required Supplies Each student will need to wear the provided safety glasses during lab. Additional personal protective equipment will be provided for field trips. Description - This course will introduce the principal structural materials used for building construction and their engineering properties and environmental impacts. The production and performance of these materials will be explored through class discussion and laboratory experiments. The application of each of the materials during sustainable construction processes will be emphasized. Student Outcomes: 1. Be able to describe the engineering properties of materials that are commonly specified during building construction, and explain the impact of changes in those properties on the building performance. 2. Be able to describe the environmental properties of materials that are commonly specified during building construction. 3. Be able to write a clear technical report to describe a laboratory study of a particular material property. 4. Be able to properly specify the engineering properties of a material for the individual construction application chosen. Relation to Learning Objectives: This course directly supports the following departmental learning objectives: 6. apply the proper use of construction materials in construction projects with

2 consideration of sustainable construction; specify and procure materials that have the least adverse impact on the environment within project constraints and the construction contract; implement practices that can serve to better our environment such as best and most efficient use and reuse of materials, and development and use of alternative energy sources; This course also meets the ACCE learning objectives in the area of Construction Science Construction Methods and Materials Attendance - Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes and laboratories. If special circumstances such as illness, travel difficulties, family emergencies or active participation in college-sponsored events make absence unavoidable you must see me to make up the work. For these cases, no student will be allowed to complete graded work after that work has been returned to others in the class. Any student with more than 3 unexcused absences will be subject to automatic failure of the course. In the case of absence due to religious observance, students will be provided an opportunity to make up any examination, study, or work requirements that may be missed provided you notify me by before the end of the second week of classes. Further information about the SU policy that this is based on can be found at While in class, please keep cell phones turned off, this includes during tests (no cell phone calculators). To maintain the proper classroom environment, computers may not be used during lecture without permission of the instructor. When in use, it should be strictly for classrelated activity. Academic Accommodations - Students wishing to utilize academic accommodations due to a diagnosed disability of any kind must present an Academic Accommodations Authorization Letter generated by Syracuse University s Office of Disability Services. If you currently have an Authorization Letter, please present this to me as soon as possible so that I may assist with the establishment of your accommodations. Students who do not have a current Academic Accommodations Authorization Letter from Syracuse University s Office of Disability Services cannot receive accommodations. If you do not currently have an Authorization Letter and feel you are eligible for accommodations, please contact Heather Rice in the Office of Counseling and Disabilities Services, 110 Bray Hall, (315) or counseling@esf.edu as soon as possible. Academic Honesty Honesty and integrity are major elements in professional behavior and are expected of each student. Any assignment (including those in electronic media) submitted by a student must be of the student's original authorship. Representation of another's work as the student s own shall constitute plagiarism. Cheating, in any form, is an unacceptable behavior within all college courses, and the college policy on academic integrity (as outlined in the handbook Academic Integrity ESF at ) will be strictly adhered to.

3 Grading The course grading will be a combination of grades earned on homework, quizzes, tests, group project work, class presentation, and the final exam. The final grade will be based on these percentages Homework 20% Quizzes 30% Semester Projects 15% Lab Reports 10% Class Participation 10% Final Exam 15% Homework - All written work must be word-processed and spell checked. Any calculations may be hand-written neatly with the answer labeled with units and boxed. Any homework not turned in on-time needs to be discussed with me to determine if credit will be given. No late homework will be accepted after the assignment has been graded and returned to the rest of the class.
