This course will be taught entirely online, making use primarily of CourseSpaces and Zoom (see https://www.uvic.ca/systems/services/avmultimedia/zoomvideoconferencing/index.php to learn how you can obtain access to the Zoom). This online format is new for many students and instructors. As we move through term, we will learn what works, and what doesn't, and adjustments to the course outline might be necessary. Possible changes will be discussed.

Lectures: Lectures will be pre-recorded and links posted on CourseSpaces. These recordings will be a mix of videos from whiteboard teaching, screen capturing of PowerPoint or PDF with speech, and tablet writing.

Tutorials: Tutorials will be conducted live, with examples, Q&A through Zoom.

Office Hours: Online office hours will use Zoom. Please send me an email to schedule a meeting.

Tools required:

• Desktop or Laptop Computer with webcam/microphone/speakers/headsets for online lecture & tutorials (worst case a smartphone will do)
• Scanner (desktop or phone-based)
• Printer (useful but not mandatory)
• Software installed on your computer:

Please make yourself familiar with Zoom, which we will use for live interaction in tutorial, office hours, etc.

Please email the instructor for an appointment, office hours are open door.

A team of 11 teaching assistants (TAs) will manage tutorial sessions, help deliver ENGR 141 seminars and assist in grading the handwritten assignment problems.

ENGINEERING 141 – ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS I: is an introduction to mechanics. This course deals with the concept of equilibrium as applied to rigid bodies‐ the case in which the forces and moments acting on a body do not result in an acceleration of the body. The course will define a methodology, the method of statics, used to determine certain forces and moments acting on and within rigid bodies, and structures and machines composed of rigid components, that are in equilibrium. The most important concept that will be introduced is the free‐body diagram. The objective of this course is to instill the abilities to create and interpret free body diagrams and solve complicated mechanics problems in a clear and concise manner.

Main Entry: en∙gi∙neer Pronunciation: "en‐ju‐'nir Etymology: alter. of earlier enginer, from Middle English, alteration of enginour, from Middle French engigneur, from Old French engignier to contrive, from engin

1. a member of a military group devoted to engineering work.
2. (obsolete) : a crafty schemer : plotter.
3. (a) :a designer or builder of engines (b) : a person who is trained in or follows as a profession a branch of engineering (c) : a person who carries through an enterprise by skillful or artful contrivance.
4. a person who runs or supervises an engine or an apparatus.

To ensure students are fluent in the method of statics, both physical systems of units, International System (SI) and US Customary (FPS), are considered throughout the course problem sets. To define and communicate three dimensional vector quantities, Cartesian notation is applied throughout the course. The lectures will closely adhere to Hibbeler’s textbook sections. We begin with the study of vector algebra and rigid body equilibrium and then carry these principles forward to the basic study of structures ‐ assemblies of rigid bodies. The second half of the course starts by looking at ways of determining the internal loads in a structure or simple machine. In particular, a concise method of obtaining the internal shear and bending moment diagrams for beams is discussed thoroughly. Rounding out this course are studies of equilibrium problems involving friction and methods for locating centroids of lines, area and volumes.

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

1. Sketch three-dimensional Cartesian reference frames, force vectors and moment vectors.
2. Assign reference points and calculate the moment of a force relative to those points.
3. Combine several forces and moments to form simpler equivalent force-couple systems.
4. Identify the forces and moments acting on a rigid body and draw the corresponding free body diagram (FBD).
5. Apply the method of statics to FBDs to solve for reaction forces and moments, including:
   • Divide a structure into sub-assemblies that can be analyzed using equations of static equlibrium.
   • Manipulate algebraic equations of equilibrium to solve for unknown forces and moments.
   • Judge whether the static equilibrium assumption is possible based on solutions to equilibrium equations.
6. Calculate internal forces and moments in truss and beam structures.
7. Recognize statically determinant and indeterminant mechanics problems by observation of FBDs.
8. Interpret parametric solutions to equilibrium equations to measure the ability of a structure or a machine to sustain loads.
9. Organize multiple FBDs in the solution of impeding motion problems.
10. Locate the centroids of lines, areas and volumes using single variable calculus and first moments of area.

The weekly ENGR 141 tutorials are a mandatory course component. The weekly ENGR 141 tutorials are mandatory and attendance will be taken. In the tutorial periods, students will complete assigned tutorial problems with the help of their TAs.

Success in this course results from practicing as many problems as possible and the assignments represent a baseline level of engagement with the course material. Students should use the seminar times to attempt additional problems.

Note that all assigned problems are from the end-of‐ section “Problems” listings of “Engineering Mechanics ‐ Statics and Dynamics 14th Edition.”. Additional problems for practice can be found in the textbook’s “Fundamental Problems” or “Preliminary Problems” listings in each section, but these listings are not used in the assignments.

• There will be 10 problem set which will be given to you on Mondays (starting May 11th) each week. The students will have one week to solve the problems. • Assignments are worth 20% of the final grade. • Students MUST upload their assignments to CourseSpaces before the due date. No late submissions will be accepted. Two random problems will be selected, graded, and feedback will be provided to you. The solutions to the assignments will be uploaded to CourseSpaces. Each assignment will be graded out of 100% (50% for submitting the assignment and 50% for correct solutions)

This course has four tests and three quizzes. The content of a quiz or a test could be the materials covered in previous sessions or tests.

TEST #1: May 21th
TEST#2: June 8th TEST#3: June 29th TEST#4: July 30th

**Tests will be open book and will be taken during the lecture times (10:00am-11:20am)

QUIZ#1: June 16th QUIZ#2: July 7th QUIZ#3: July 21st

Quizzes will be closedbook and will be taken during tutorial sessions

The final grade obtained from the above marking scheme for the purpose of GPA calculation will be based on the percentage‐to‐grade point conversion table as listed in the current Undergraduate Calendar.

A significant proportion of assignment, quizzes and tests marks are awarded based on a clear and logical presentation of the solution process including diagrams.

The University of Victoria follows a percentage grading system in which the instructor will submit grades in percentages. The University will use the following Senate approved standardized grading scale to assign letter grades. Both the percentage mark and the letter grade will be recorded on the academic record and transcripts.

I value your feedback on this course. Towards the end of term you will have the opportunity to complete a confidential course experience survey (CES) regarding your learning experience. The survey is vital to providing feedback to me regarding the course and my teaching, as well as to help the department improve the overall program for students in the future. When it is time for you to complete the survey, you will receive an email inviting you to do so. If you do not receive an email invitation, you can go directly to the CES site

You will need to use your UVic NetLink ID to access the survey, which can be done on your laptop, tablet or mobile device. I will remind you closer to the time, but please be thinking about this important activity, especially the following three questions, during the course.

• What strengths did your instructor demonstrate that helped you learn in this course?
• Please provide specific suggestions as to how the instructor could have helped you learn more effectively.

An Instructor may refuse a student admission to a lecture, laboratory, online course discussion or learning activity, tutorial or other learning activity set out in the course outline because of lateness, misconduct, inattention or failure to meet the responsibilities of the course set out in the course outline. Students who neglect their academic work may be assigned a final grade of N or debarred from final examinations.

Students who do not attend classes must not assume that they have been dropped from the course by an academic unit or an instructor. Courses that are not formally dropped will be given a failing grade, students may be required to withdraw and will be required to pay the tution fee for the course. https://web.uvic.ca/calenda2019-09/undergra/info/regulations/attendance.html

Academic integrity is intellectual honesty and responsibility for academic work that you submit individual or group work. It involves commitment to the values of honesty, trust, and responsibility. It is expected that students will respect these ethical values in all activities related to learning, teaching, research, and service. Therefore, plagiarism and other acts against academic integrity are serious academic offences.

The responsibility of the institution Instructors and academic units have the responsibility to ensure that standards of academic honesty are met. By doing so, the institution recognizes students for their hard work and assures them that other students do not have an unfair advantage through cheating on essays, exams, and projects.

The responsibility of the student Plagiarism sometimes occurs due to a misunderstanding regarding the rules of academic integrity, but it is the responsibility of the student to know them. If you are unsure about the standards for citations or for referencing your sources, ask your instructor. Depending on the severity of the case, penalties include a warning, a failing grade, a record on the student's transcript, or a suspension.

It is your responsibility to understand the University's policy on academic integrity: http://web.uvic.ca/calendar/undergrad/info/regulations/academic-integrity.html
