Homeworks:  in readdiscusstopicsall2007g.doc;

.pdf files contain news items for the homework and are summarized in HWreadingpdf.zip

.ppt and .pptx files are the most important parts of the .pdf files and may get covered in class

PowerPointslidestoreadfornanotech.pdf include the most important slide #'s in the PowerPoint files

.zip files contain the original documents from which the .pdf, .ppt, and .pptx files are summaries

Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network content is in burgundy

 

See the Welcome to Nanotechnology.doc file and what is inside.

 

Now that this class is in online mode in addition to in person mode, use the hyperlinked files below in order to prepare for class!  I will send out updated versions of this periodically as I record lecture content into PowerPoint files.  The linked .pdf's are the same as the newly added PowerPoint files in bold red, EXCEPT that they also have my recorded audio.

 

I may NOT be in your class' Zoom room, because I might be in another.  Zoom notification to my e-mail is pretty close to instantaneous, but I may have my e-mail alert off if I am recording lectures or in another online class.  I expect office hours to be more highly attended online than they had been in the past in person.  Try to arrive to Zoom for class a few minutes early so that we can get any logistics situated.  If it is your class time and you're having trouble getting in, call me at 321-749-3437 and/or e-mail me at jbrenner@fit.edu.

 

If you are trying to reach me for office hours and I am not in your Zoom room, try the following options.  I'm likely in one of the other rooms, and if it says, do not contact, I am teaching a different class.

https://fit.zoom.us/j/95358589090 Olin Engg. 256/228/229 MTWR 1-2 PM Office Hours (I may only be there in person, as opposed to Zoom, depending on whether someone actually came to see me in person.)

My plan is to use the "flipped classroom" model.  You should view and listen to the relevant pre-recorded PowerPoint material as listed in the .pptx files before each date on the syllabus.  There will be a simultaneous live in person lecture and a Zoom lecture.  I will post the recorded live lecture after class as soon as reasonable.  You should come into the Zoom meeting muted and will need to unmute yourself when appropriate.  In general, stay muted except when you are going to contribute something.  There will be a chat available as well.

Zoom is a program that you should become familiar with.  Look at the 1st and 3rd videos within

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials (Links to an external site.)

If you want to test out Zoom with me to check to see if it works, e-mail me at jbrenner@fit.edu.  I may not respond instantly, especially if I am recording lectures or in a meeting with a different class.  I'll have my phone (3217493437) next to me and will get your call.  If I can answer it without being very awkward, I will do so immediately.

For the formerly in class tests, you will have one calendar day to work this out.  At the start of the exam period, I will either publish the exam in Canvas/Files with a password or have you select a random exam within Canvas/Assignments.  I still have to figure those details out.  Regardless, after you download it, you will have to input a password that I will give to you at the start of the exam.  You will need to check a box regarding that you neither gave nor received help on this exam.  Because of the online nature of the exam, you will be expected to be honorable. 

 

In accordance with “Florida Tech Safe: Return to Learn” procedures, instructors will enforce Florida Tech’s mandatory face covering policy in all classrooms and teaching labs. All students MUST wear appropriate face coverings that cover their mouth and nose during all face-to-face course meetings. Students who fail to comply with this policy WILL BE REQUIRED to leave the classroom immediately. Students unable to comply may contact the Dean of Students Rodney Bowers for further options.  Bandannas are NOT considered acceptable.

Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal civil rights law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs and activities. Florida Institute of Technology policy also prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex.  Florida Tech faculty are committed to helping create a safe learning environment for all students that is free from all forms of discrimination and sexual harassment, including sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. If you, or someone you know, have experienced or is experiencing any of these behaviors, know that help and support are available.  Florida Tech strongly encourages all members of the community to take action, seek support, and report any incident of sexual harassment or gender discrimination to Fanak Baarmand, Title IX Coordinator at 321-674-8885 or fbaarman@fit.edu.  Please note that as your professor, I am required to report any incidents to the Title IX Coordinator. If you wish to speak to an employee who does not have this reporting responsibility, please contact the Student Counseling Center at 321-674-8050.
