Course Ground Rules • Academic Integrity is a must • Punctual attendance is mandatory • Late assignments are penalized • Grading is based on teamwork aswell as on individual contributions
Management and Course Assessment Policy • Need to keep a logbook: a notebook (not papers) to record all team activities throughout the whole semester. • Follow an action plan for team meetings A. Agenda-items for discussion at the meeting 1. 2. B. What we accomplished at this session 1. 2. C. Our goals for the next session 1. 2. D. What we need to do before the next session: Person responsible: ________________ Completion date: ___________________
Why keeping a logbook is important? • To organize thoughts and prove origin of an idea in legal situations. • To use it as a report in case of data loss • To know the responsibilities of each team member in the project • To find answers to previously discussed topics easily • To track the project progress
Evaluationand Grading Final exam (40%) Tutorial (10%) Classwork (15%)Final Project (35%) Poster (5%) Logbook (5%) Note: Up to 5% bonus can be given to extra and exceptional efforts in the final project
Examples of Final Projects (just examples and not to be selected) • Chemical engineering • Design of a unit of water desalination • Design of a unit of sugar extraction from plants • Mechanical Engineering • Design of a steam generator from solar energy • Design of a greenhouse weather conditioning • Electrical Engineering • Design of a car rear impact prevention system • Design of mobile ringing prevention system • Design of a solar-wind hybrid electricity generator system • Civil Engineering • Design of an open/closed air roof stadium • Design of an “easy clean” kids spool
ACTIVITY • Practicing, preparing agendas and taking meeting minutes • Form groups • Assign a meeting topic • Prepare a short agenda • Conduct the group meeting • Record minutes within the allocated time
Quick Guide to meetings • Get acquainted • Clarify the project • Choose a leader and a recorder.Your group can decide to rotate leadership among members • The leader should keep the meeting on track and on time • Consider how you will provide leadership for the various phases of the project.
Planning your meetings • Set regular meeting times (weekly, twice weekly, etc.) and make every effort to meet during this time block. • Set a beginning & an ending time for your meetings. • Prior to or at the beginning of the meeting, determine how much time to spend on each agenda topic. • Prioritize what MUST be done at the meeting and determine what topics are of lesser priority. • Low priority topics can be held for the next meeting if necessary.
Preparing for meetings • Prior to each meeting each team member should complete tasks assigned at previous meetings • Prior to each meeting, the recorder, in coordination with the leader, should give the agenda, decided upon at the previous meeting, to team members.
Running a Meeting • Start and end the meeting on time • Stick to the agenda (as much as possible). The leader is responsible for keeping the meeting on time and on track • Use brainstorming techniques for creative sessions • Attack problems, not the people in the group. Try to reach consensus • Divide up the tasks. • Take turns doing various tasks
Transition to Next Meeting • During the meeting record the decisions, deadlines, assignments. • At the end of each meeting: • Review the decisions and deadlines • Make certain all team members know their responsibilities • Evaluate your meeting processes, how your group worked together, and suggest changes for improvement
