• Be prompt: be in your seat, ready to work when the bell rings daily.
• Be prepared: Engineering Journal, pen, pencil, USB Flash Drive, calculator and other supplies brought with you daily.
• Be respectful (of others, self, and property): use appropriate language, treat items well, use supplies appropriately only, avoid vulgarities and obscenities, and be kind to others.
• Participate in a positive active manner: showing up is only part of success - be on task and focused during the entirety of class daily. Do your best to learn the subject daily!

Computer Integrated Manufacturing Syllabus

Required Materials

• Students will bring pencils, ball point pen, ruler, protractor and USB FlashDrive.
• Students will need an engineering notebook (with grid/graph line paper sheets), which can be bought from me for $1.25. This is cheaper than buying at OfficeMax, Office Depot, or Staples.  I bought books in bulk and am re-selling them at cost.
• It is recommended that students have a scientific calculator
• Students will be using their Engineering Notebooks as a journals to keep track of assignments and homework.
• Printing and copying will be kept to a minimum students will need to take notes int Engineering Notebook and use USB FlashDrive. Most assignments will be available on line.
• Students who are struggling with course work will have opportunities after school, lunch or Saturday for tutoring. All students should pass the class with either an A or B.  I try very hard to reach all of my students and to provide help for those who are struggling.
