If Texas Tech University campus operations are required to change because of health concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is possible that this course will move to a fully online delivery format. Should that be necessary, students will be advised of technical and/or equipment requirements, including remote proctoring software.
Policy on absences resulting from illness: We anticipate that some students may have extended absences. To avoid students feeling compelled to attend in-person class periods when having symptoms or feeling unwell, a standard policy is provided that holds students harmless for illness-related absences (see Section A below).
If at any time during the semester you are ill, in the interest of your own health and safety as well as the health and safety of your instructors and classmates, you are encouraged not to attend face-to-face class meetings or events. Please review the steps outlined below that you should follow to ensure your absence for illness will be excused. These steps also apply to not participating in synchronous online class meetings if you feel too ill to do so and missing specified assignment due dates in asynchronous online classes because of illness.
If you are ill and think the symptoms might be COVID-19-related:
If you are ill and can attribute your symptoms to something other than COVID-19:
Following the steps outlined above helps to keep your instructors informed about your absences and ensures your absence or missing an assignment due date because of illness will be marked excused. You will still be responsible to complete within a week of returning to class any assignments, quizzes, or exams you miss because of illness.
Same as above with respect potential to infect others; go to a health care provider if you are ill. Telepresence courses are recorded and will be available on TTU MediaSite and/or YouTube (unlisted). Exercises, Quizzes, and Examinations are all administered by a Learning Management System (Blackboard) and students need to allow enough time to complete and upload their work. Due date adjustments/late submits on case-by-case basis; documentation required as in subsection A above.

The purpose of this class is to study the theory and application of hydraulics, learn howto use predictive tools such as charts and computer programs, and apply these tools to theanalysis and design of distribution and collection and pumping systems. Preparation of reports is an equally emphasized objective of this course
During this course the student will
Computational tools equivalent to those used in ENGR 1330 are expected. Professional software is used in the course; these are downloaded from the original sources (USGS and COE)
The college of engineering has specific laptop requirements for courses that are listed at https://www.depts.ttu.edu/coe/dean/engineeringitservices/buyingtherightcomputer.php
A minimal AWS Lightsail Instance (use Windows Server 2000 template; lowest resource provision tier; AWS RDP client, or download and install own RDP client) is sufficient to run the course software if you are unable to get it installed onto your computers.
Blackboard(BB) is used as the learning management system (LMS) for this class and all exercises are to be uploaded to BB. Late submissions are accepted, but scores will be reduced 50%
The instructor notes are located in a webbook at http://54.243.252.9/ce-3372-webroot/ce3372-jb/ce3372jb/_build/html/intro.html

The following activities are not allowed in the classroom: Texting or talking on the cellphone or other electronic devices, and reading non-course related materials.
Obviously electronic devices are vital; disrupting the conference is prohibited, please mute your microphone unless you have a question - consider typing your question into the chat window as well. Be aware of bandwidth issues and remember most lessons and laboratory sessions are recorded and posted on youtube. Recording, editing, and rendering takes awhile, so expect 24-36 hour delay before video is available.
Any student who, because of a disability, may require special arrangements in order to meet the course requirements should contact the instructor as soon as possible to make necessary arrangements. Students must present appropriate verification from Student Disability Services during the instructor's office hours. Please note that instructors are not allowed to provide classroom accommodation to a student until appropriate verification from Student Disability Services has been provided. For additional information, please contact Student Disability Services office in 335 West Hall or call 806.742.2405.
Academic integrity is taking responsibility for one’s own class and/or course work, being individually accountable, and demonstrating intellectual honesty and ethical behavior. Academic integrity is a personal choice to abide by the standards of intellectual honesty and responsibility. Because education is a shared effort to achieve learning through the exchange of ideas, students, faculty, and staff have the collective responsibility to build mutual trust and respect. Ethical behavior and independent thought are essential for the highest level of academic achievement, which then must be measured. Academic achievement includes scholarship, teaching, and learning, all of which are shared endeavors. Grades are a device used to quantify the successful accumulation of knowledge through learning. Adhering to the standards of academic integrity ensures grades are earned honestly. Academic integrity is the foundation upon which students, faculty, and staff build their educational and professional careers. [Texas Tech University (“University”) Quality Enhancement Plan, Academic Integrity Task Force, 2010].
“Religious holy day” means a holy day observed by a religion whose places of worship are exempt from property taxation under Texas Tax Code §11.20. A student who intends to observe a religious holy day should make that intention known to the instructor prior to the absence. A student who is absent from classes for the observance of a religious holy day shall be allowed to take an examination or complete an assignment scheduled for that day within a reasonable time after the absence. A student who is excused may not be penalized for the absence; however, the instructor may respond appropriately if the student fails to complete the assignment satisfactorily.
Cheating is prohibited, and the representation of the work of another person as your own will be grounds for receiving a failing grade in the course.
DISCRIMINATION, HARASSMENT, AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE STATEMENT: Texas Tech University is committed to providing and strengthening an educational, working, and living environment where students, faculty, staff, and visitors are free from gender and/or sex discrimination of any kind.

CIVILITY IN THE CLASSROOM STATEMENT: Texas Tech University is a community of faculty, students, and staff that enjoys an expectation of cooperation, professionalism, and civility during the conduct of all forms of university business, including the conduct of student–student and student–faculty interactions in and out of the classroom. Further, the classroom is a setting in which an exchange of ideas and creative thinking should be encouraged and where intellectual growth and development are fostered. Students who disrupt this classroom mission by rude, sarcastic, threatening, abusive or obscene language and/or behavior will be subject to appropriate sanctions according to university policy. Likewise, faculty members are expected to maintain the highest standards of professionalism in all interactions with all constituents of the university. To ensure that you are fully engaged in class discussions and account team meetings during class time, you are expected to do the following:
LGBTQIA SUPPORT STATEMENT: I identify as an ally to the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA) community, and I am available to listen and support you in an affirming manner.
