Course Details Language of Instruction English Level of Course Unit Bachelor's Degree Department / Program CIVIL ENGINEERING Type of Program Formal Education Type of Course Unit Elective Course Delivery Method Face To Face Objectives of the Course The aim of this course is to experimentally investigate the physical and mechanical properties of commonly used construction materials in civil engineering (such as concrete, steel, aggregates, asphalt, and soil) in a laboratory environment, and to equip students with the ability to conduct these tests, analyze the results, and evaluate them from an engineering perspective. Course Content Safety rules in experimental work, and overview of laboratory equipment compressive strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity of engineering materials Toughness, ductility, and fracture behavior of engineering materials sample preparation methods and theoretical knowledge assessment on laboratory test results Course Methods and Techniques Learners will be provided with as much opportunities of hands-on practice as possible with the aim of striking a balance between learner-centeredness and sufficient guidance. Various forms of interaction (i.e. pair work and group work) will also be encouraged to cater for learners with different learning styles. Additionally, individuals will be expected to produce both in-class writings and homework assignments in addition to the reading tasks, which will encourage them to reflect and think critically. Technology will also be incorporated into the classroom procedures in order to create a better learning environment.

Mamlouk, John P. Zaniewski, Pearson Education:; ISBN: 9780134320533 Course Notes • Food and beverages are not permitted in the class. • Cell phones must be turned off during class. • Please, bring the required course materials. • No request to increase grades. • Be in the class on time (being late for class is an extreme annoyance to the entire class). • Attendance is mandatory. Students are expected to attend at least %70 of the classes • Class attendance is strongly recommended and will count toward your participation grade. Regular class time will include informal assessment activities for which points will be assigned. Participation in these activities will help you prepare for exams, quizzes and homework and also provide me with feedback on your progress. • For a detailed description of AGU attendance policy, please refer to the website at https://goo.gl/HbPM2y section 25. • When contacting the instructor, please use the Canvas email feature. Include in the subject line the class and section number. If this information is not included, your email may not be answered. Any announcements or warnings will be send to your AGU e-mail. Therefore, it is the responsibility of every student to read his/her AGU e-mails and CANVAS emails regularly. AGU webmail can be accessed through https://mail.agu.edu.tr • You are responsible for knowing the University policies on cheating and plagiarism. Not giving credit to a person for their intellectual work and passing it off as your own is stealing.
