Course: B.S. Environmental and Sanitary Engineering
Year level: 4th yr Subject: ENGG411 – Engineering Management
By making this learning contract, I commit to complete and to
excel the subject by attending online meetings and submitting assigned school works.
I expect to amplify my knowledge in management and leadership.
The activities and assignments are expected to equip us with the necessary materials and information about engineering management and related topics.
Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or skills through
experience, study, or by being taught. One cannot learn without being open to new ideas and allowing to absorb the new knowledge being imparted by the teacher/ educator. Sacrifices on the student’s part should be paid attention to in order to fully acquire what’s being taught.
a. Attendance: I will attend 100% of the class sessions
given that the circumstances will not hinder my desire to learn (i.e.: stability of internet connection and financial means).
b. Course Participation: I will contribute actively in class
discussions, polls and inquiries
c. Readings: I will complete all assigned readings and use
them during online class discussions for an interactive session.
d. Study/Assignments: I will spend a minimum of 2 hours per
day reviewing notes and working on assignments. This will help me enrich my knowledge about the subject and participate better in class discussion.
e. Group Work/ Group Project: I will communicate well with
my co-classmates or group mates so that there will an exchange of ideas for the completion of work. What will MOTIVATE me to attain my gains?
1. Self-discipline ―Self-discipline is about leaning into
resistance. Taking action in spite of how you feel. Living life by design, not by default. But most importantly, it’s acting in accordance with your thoughts —not your feelings.‖
2. My drive to make my parents proud.
3. My drive to graduate this semester and top the
Environmental and Sanitary Engineering Board exam.
4. My hunger for learning.
What will PREVENT me from attaining my gains?
There are a few things right now that might hinder not just my capacity but every student’s capacity to not reach our gains.
1. Anxiety: We all fear the unknown especially during this
Pandemic era, we feel scared for our parents who are trying to earn just to sustain our education and basic needs.
2. Gadget: Like me, a lot of students only depend on one
gadget to survive this semester (e.g. cellular phones). This will hinder us from doing homework that requires a laptop or a desktop to accomplish and comply with the requirement.
3. Stable Internet Connection: I personally use mobile data
for my internet usage because our family cannot afford WiFi connection specially now during the Pandemic. Stability of internet connection through mobile data is fluctuating and cannot be foreseen beforehand.
I, as a student, will do my best to persevere and excel in this
subject, ENGG411 – Engineering Management. I am looking forward for a fruitful semester with you, Engr. Florimond M. Esteban.
