Notebook Students are required to develop a 3-ring, loose-leaf notebook during the semester for use in class and for future reference. Notebooks shall be labeled and contain all class notes, handouts, and assignments, with at least one entry for each class period. Notebooks shall be brought to each class period, as the entire notebook, or any portion thereof, may be collected for grading at any point during the semester. Text / Reference Materials No textbook required. Materials will be provided as handouts in class and/or by download via K-State Online. Classroom Policy: The classroom is to be regarded as the “class office” and therefore professional behavior is expected at all times. Start preparing now for the expectations of future employers. Food, drinks, caps/hats, electronic devices, newspapers, or other distracting items will not be permitted. If your behavior disrupts class, you may be asked to leave and an absence may be indicated for the class period. Repeated disruptions may result in being dropped from the class.

Department Policy: Food, beverage and tobacco products are not permitted in the classroom. Keep the classroom clean by properly disposing of all trash, newspapers, etc. at the end of class.

Kansas State University and College of Engineering Policies Academic Accommodations: If you have any physical or learning disability which will require accommodations or other assistance in this course, please notify the instructor within the first two weeks. Discrimination/Harassment Policy I believe that engineers must not only be the people who know how to do things right, but also those who know the right things to do (Quote by Dr. Joseph Bordogna, National Science Foundation). One purpose of your education is to help you develop skills, approaches, and abilities that are necessary for effective teamwork, and for your success in your profession and as a citizen. It is important that you understand your rights and responsibilities regarding the University=s Sexual and Racial Harassment policies. (Full text of the policies can be found on KSU=s web site at www.ksu.edu/affact/Policies/discharass. If you experience any situations, in or out of class, that seem inappropriate or that make you uncomfortable, a list of resources and courses of action to assist you can be found on the College of Engineering web site at www.engg.ksu.edu/student-info/harassment-policies. Statement Regarding Academic Honesty "Kansas State University has an Honor & Integrity System based on personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance in academic matters one's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate and graduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor & Integrity System. The policies and procedures of the Honor & Integrity System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning. The honor system web site: www.ksu.edu/honor. A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work." A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. The F indicates failure in the course; the X indicates the reason is an Honor Pledge violation." Tobacco Use Policy: The College of Engineering is designated a tobacco-free workplace and the use of tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, is prohibited in any college building, facility, or vehicle. It is the responsibility of each college member (faculty, staff, or student) to adhere to and enforce the policy, and to inform visitors of this policy. If a student, faculty member or college employee continues to disregard the policy, he/she will be reported to the dean and may lose access privileges. Copyright Issues: Class and lecture notes for this course carry a copyright. Students are prohibited from selling (or being paid for taking) notes during this course to or by any person or commercial firm without the express written permission of the professor teaching this course. The instructor reserves the right to modify and/or add to this syllabus as necessary.

Homework will adhere to the following specifications. Variations will result in reduced grades on the problem section of the notebook.

1. Use a separate sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 in standard engineering paper for each problem. 2. All work shall be in pencil, using engineering lettering or neat printing. Pencil marks will be clear-

cut and black. Erasing will be clean and thorough. 3. At the top of each sheet, write the date at the left, “Statics A” in the center, and your name at the

right. 4. Include a complete copy of the problem statement and a copy of the given figure at the beginning

of each solution. Include all sketches and other graphics on the right side of the page. 5. Draw all sketches approximately to scale using a straightedge. 6. Include freebody diagrams in all solutions as appropriate. 7. Arrange all computations in a logical order, and record each step. 8. Mark answers so as to be easily located (use a straightedge). Show the proper units and signs for all

answers. Use four significant figures for numbers beginning with a “1”, and three significant figures for all other answers.

Quizzes There will be approximately 12 scheduled quizzes, each worth a maximum of 50 points. Each quiz covers an identified critical concept or application. It is essential to master these concepts in order to successfully complete CNS 231 and be prepared for subsequent coursework. No partial credit will be given on these quizzes, with the exception of the Math Quiz, and each quiz retake that drops to the 30-point level. If a student fails to show competence on an element quiz, the student will be given the opportunity to retake the element for reduced points (45 for 2nd attempt, 40 for 3rd, 35 for 4th, and 30 for 5th). The student is expected to demonstrate competence on all concepts in order to successfully complete the course. If a student is absent during the time in which a quiz is given, the student will receive the same opportunity to take the quiz retake as any other student. Repeated absences, particularly regarding quiz attempts will negatively impact the student’s grade. Unless otherwise noted, Mondays will be quiz days. At the end of the semester, the lowest quiz grade will be dropped. Final Exam At the end of the semester, there will be a comprehensive final exam worth 150 points.

Notebook Each student is responsible to keep a notebook of progress through the semester. The students should be prepared to show the notebook when asked by the instructor (don’t procrastinate), and will be awarded pop quiz points at these times. At the end of the semester, the notebook will be collected and graded for a total maximum of 50 points. Grading will consider organization and professional presentation, completeness, class notes, assigned problems, quizzes and quiz reworks, and any other evidence of individual pursuit of learning (use included grade sheet).

Text / Reference Materials Statics and Strength of Materials (Seventh Edition), by H.W. Morrow and Robert P. Kokernak Classroom Policies All students are expected to participate in each class. Each student is expected to have pencil, paper, text, and calculator available in class. Department Classroom Policy: The classroom is to be regarded as the “class office” and therefore professional behavior is expected at all times. The student is expected to start preparing now for the expectations of future employers. All cell phones are to be turned off during class. If any of these devices interrupt class, the student may be asked to leave for the remainder of the class period. This will be indicated as an absence for the class period.

“I believe that engineers must not only be the people who know how to do things right, but also those who know the right things to do.” (Quote by Dr. Joseph Bordogna, National Science Foundation). Kansas State University has an Honor & Integrity System based on personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance in academic matters one's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate and graduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor & Integrity System. The policies and procedures of the Honor & Integrity System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning. The honor system web site can be reach via the following URL: www.ksu.edu/honor or <http://www.ksu.edu/honor> . A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work." A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. The F indicates failure in the course; the X indicates the reason is an Honor Pledge violation." Tobacco Use Policy The College of Engineering is designated a tobacco-free workplace and the use of tobacco products, including cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, is prohibited in any college building, facility, or vehicle. It is the responsibility of each college member (faculty, staff, or student) to adhere to and enforce the policy, and to inform visitors of this policy. If a student, faculty member or college employee continues to disregard the policy, he/she will be reported to the dean and may lose access privileges. Copyright Issues Class and lecture notes for this course carry a copyright. Students are prohibited from selling (or being paid for taking) notes during this course to or by any person or commercial firm without the express written permission of the professor teaching this course.

Undergraduate and graduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning. The honor system website can be reached via the following URL: www.ksu.edu/honor. A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work." A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. The F indicates failure in the course; the X indicates the reason is an Honor Pledge violation.

Please note that “Notebooks” may be checked periodically throughout the semester in class for credit points. The notebooks shall be titled with the class information and semester and be organized by tab dividers with an index, and must be legible.

Course philosophy: 1. Preparation is not optional-it is a minimum expectation. It’s your education and career. The true value of your career is in

direct proportion to your commitment to excellence, no matter what your field of endeavor. Remember the road to success is always under construction; so be prepared to endure the process.

2. Your attendance and attention is required. It is a portion of your grade in the course. Tardiness is not acceptable. You are to be ready to participate at the beginning of class, and stay until class is over.

3. Communicate. This is the key in our business. Your ability to communicate and work effectively as an individual as well as a team member is vital. Communication is not only being able to express thoughts verbally or in writing, but includes listening and understanding as well. All questions are welcomed!

4. Professionalism. Your work and actions should be professional in appearance and thought. Lack of attention to detail indicates carelessness or lack of professional demeanor.

Attendance Requirements: Attendance is expected for all class periods. You will be allowed to miss a Maximum of Three (3) class periods for illness, interview trips, etc. without counting against your grade. Any additional absences will reduce your grade by 25 points for each occurrence. If you must miss a class session, please notify the instructor. It is your responsibility to obtain the course handouts, notes, and problem assignments. If you do not make arrangements ahead of time, don’t request them from the instructor. Tardiness will not be tolerated. Leaving class early or being tardy will result in a 50 point deduction for each occurrence. After two (2) occurrences you will be dropped from the course.

Late Work: All homework is due at the time, date and location specified. Late work will be reviewed, but will receive a grade of ZERO (0). “Late” is defined as work turned in after the start of class on the morning of the due date. Real emergencies, as determined at the sole discretion of the instructor, that delay submission of an assignment may be considered on an individual basis. Text / Reference Materials

Keep the classroom clean by properly disposing of all trash at the end of class. Kansas State University and College of Engineering Policies Kansas State University and College of Engineering Policies Statement Regarding Academic Honesty

Kansas State University has an Honor System based on personal integrity, which is presumed to be sufficient assurance that, in academic matters, one's work is performed honestly and without unauthorized assistance. Undergraduate and graduate students, by registration, acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor System. The policies and procedures of the Honor System apply to all full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning. The honor system website can be reached via the following URL: www.ksu.edu/honor . A component vital to the Honor System is the inclusion of the Honor Pledge which applies to all assignments, examinations, or other course work undertaken by students. The Honor Pledge is implied, whether or not it is stated: "On my honor, as a student, I have neither given nor received unauthorized aid on this academic work." A grade of XF can result from a breach of academic honesty. The F indicates failure in the course; the X indicates the reason is an Honor Pledge violation.

INTRODUCTION

“You cannot fully appreciate a work of architecture without some background knowledge. Social and political developments, availability of materials, advances in learning and technology, changes in fashion and the function of patronage, emulation of foreign cultures—all these factors may help to explain why a building is the way it is. And because the beginnings of great architecture are the tomb and the temple, religion often plays a part too.” — Patrick Nuttgens The Pocket Guide to Architecture

Historically, human-built structures—interchangeably called shelter, buildings and architecture—have mirrored prevailing determinants: geography, power and wealth, religious and political beliefs, labor force availability, natural resources, artistic expression, societal symbolism.

DEN 210 History of Building & Construction Semester

Similarly, these structures have been embellished—decorated—in ways that reflect the vision and values of their occupants, resulting in significant beauty and differentiation. Consider the wide-ranging forms and configurations found in delicate African grass huts, massive Roman military structures, skin-covered sheep herder’s tents, hieroglyphics carved into Egyptian temples and tombs, elaborate Renaissance painted ceilings, Gothic cathedrals—adorned with enormous stained glass windows, finely-detailed wooden Japanese temples, inlaid-mosaic Islamic domes, Peruvian stone retaining walls high in the Andes, native American Indian structures in the desert southwest, stainless steel St. Louis Arches, and contemporary fast-food restaurants. ALL reflect vision and values. This course will touch on these things. We will look through the lens of history and observe how previous societies displayed power and wealth, craftsmanship and aesthetic expression. We will examine the advent of tools and the evolution of ideas that enabled us to build magnificent aqueducts, flying buttresses, and international space stations. We will discuss the stewardship of our planet’s natural resources and examine political / religious doctrine that controlled public and private construction—often in conflict with these resources. We will probe the past and ask lots of questions. Answering these questions will raise an even longer list of questions. In the end, just 15 short weeks from now, we will have tasted the broad sweep of human endeavor in the building process. Many of these endeavors have been lost through natural disaster, military conflict, or societal indifference. But, those that remain will provide splendor and magnificent example, and give us a way to see into the future. v

Four major exams will occur during the semester, each worth 100 points. In addition to the exams listed above, in-class assignments and activities, periodic “pop” quizzes, and written homework assignments may be given over course material. Points earned on these assignments and quizzes will be added to points earned on major exams.

Exams in this course will be computer-graded, utilizing Scantron scan cards. Scores can be accessed electronically via the University Home Page (K-State Online). Exams will be confined to the classroom only.

An ANSWER KEY is normally posted outside the classroom immediately following each exam for visual review. At no time shall exams, portions of exams, answer keys, or copies of exams (or exam contents), be duplicated or removed from the classroom, in any fashion, including, but not limited to the use of electronic, digital, texting, or other technologies. Any such infractions will be treated in accordance with university policies on Academic Integrity, described on page 2.

Semester grades will be the total points earned on all exams, quizzes and assignments, divided by the total points possible. The total number of points possible will depend upon the number of assignments and quizzes.

Individual exams and final course grades will be based on the following scale:

A 90—100.0% B 80— 89.9 C 70— 79.9 D 60— 69.9 F 0— 59.9

Final semester grades will be determined by totaling: A. Scheduled Exams: 400 points B. Attendance Grade: 100 points C. Quizzes & Other Assignments: 40 points ± 540 points ±

Emergencies No“INCOMPLETE”grades will be given in this course, except in cases involving unforeseen—verifiable—personal, family, or health-related emergencies. Should these emergencies occur and you expect to be away from classes for a period of time, you should contact Assistant Dean Larry Satzler in the College of Engineering (785) 532-5592 / e-mail: [email protected]), who will, in turn, notify all course instructors of your specific circumstances.
