COURSE DESCRIPTION
Guided by the values of faith, zeal for service and communion in mission, the course prepares the
students to acquire the skill in using analytical method of analysis of machine elements in relation to
kinematics process.
The course deals with the study of mechanisms disregarding the forces and energies that causes
the motion. It provides emphasis on the analytical and graphical study of displacement, velocity and
acceleration.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOME:

By the end of the semester, student can:

1. Define some terminologies in machine elements or parts which are useful to any machinery.
2. Illustrate any machine parts in a clear and logical process in mechanical design.
3. Construct the process of designing machine elements with plans and layouts.
4. Analyze the systematic approach on how to draw machine parts when design is needed.
5. Design the necessary machine elements or parts when design drawing plans are possibly applied.
6. Evaluate the appropriate solution of the problem in machine elements based on the computations and
illustrations.

the syllabus. Synchronous classes shall be held using MS Teams and chat sessions on
Schoolbook.
2.1.1. Students shall be encouraged to attend synchronous classes.
2.1.2. Attendance in the synchronous classes may NOT be graded. However, extra credit/
additional grades may be given to students who religiously attend synchronous

shall be part of the enabling assessments. A maximum of 1.5% in the class
participation may be allotted for attendance in synchronous classes.
2.1.3. A student may be excused from scheduled synchronous due to valid reasons such as
disruptions of internet connections, serious illness, death in the family, and any other
reasons analogous to the foregoing.
2.2. Online Asynchronous Communication shall happen when the faculty utilizes at least one of
the recommended asynchronous communication. The schedule of holding a synchronous
session with students shall be announced at least a week before the actual date of the session.
The minimum response time for asynchronous communication is 24 hours, excluding
Sundays and holidays. All communication platforms must be explicitly indicated in the
syllabus. Below are the recommended asynchronous communication platforms:
2.2.1. Forum – At the Forum Tab at Schoolbook, students can post their general concerns.
The forum is public and any post can be seen by the class.
2.2.2. Messaging – At Schoolbook. Any private or confidential matters must may be
messaged through Schoolbook messaging feature.
2.2.3. Email – You may email your professor at aghicaro@dlsud.edu.ph.
2.3. Offline Communication is only for students who opted for printed modules. Text messaging
subject to strict confidentiality agreement between the student and the professor maybe used.
This mode of communication is exclusive only for the specified type of student. Calls may be
entertained within working hours (8AM to 5PM), while text messages may be responded to
within 24 hours, excluding Sundays and holidays.
2.4. No using of foul, curse, and other bad words, whether in written or verbal. No shouting. No
flooding of chat and messages. No selling.
3. Assessment and Grading System
3.1. A minimum of three (3) attempts shall be observed when answering enabling assessments.
3.2. Enabling assessments shall be uploaded on SB and shall be accessible for a minimum of one
(1) week.
3.3. Modules shall have enabling assessments provided that the number of enabling assessments
shall not exceed six (6) per term.
3.4. There shall be four (4) summative examinations in a semester, TWO (2) in the midterm
period and TWO (2) in the final period.
3.5. In case a student failed to comply with an enabling assessment, s/he shall be allowed to ask
for extension from his/her teacher. The student shall be allowed to complete the missed
 enabling assessment for a period of one (1) to three (3) days provided that s/he will provide a
proof stated in IRR.
3.6. In case a student failed to comply with a summative assessment, s/he shall be allowed to ask
for extension from his/her teacher. The student shall be allowed to complete the missed
summative assessment for a period of ONE (1) day. The schedule shall be determined by the
teacher concerned.
3.7. There shall be two (2) attempts only for each summative assessment.
3.8. All assessment-outputs shall be submitted on SB or DLSU-D email taking into account the
instructions given by their teacher.
3.9. Two (2) institutional self-care weeks to be scheduled on the 5th and 14th weeks of the
semester shall be observed for the entire semester as indicated in the syllabus.
3.10. No assessment deadline shall be made the week immediately following the Self-Care
Week.
3.11. For summative assessments, ten (10) to fifteen (15) problems shall be given for easy
problem solving type of exam and two (2) to five (5) problems for difficult type of exam for
one and a half hours. Twenty (20) to twenty-five (25) items per hour shall be given for
comprehensive examination.
3.12. SB Gradebook shall be configured vis-a-vis the breakdown of grades stipulated in the
syllabus. These grades reflect the actual grades of students.
4. Attendance Policy
4.1. Attendance Policy for Online Classes is scheduled based on the learning plan. Attendance,
especially in synchronous classes, shall not be a basis for receiving a failing grade. It will not
comprise any grade in the class standing.
4.2. RSVP as part of an ethical process of conducting online meetings, the following will be
observed:
4.2.1. The synchronous meeting will be made by the teacher at least 14 calendar days
before its schedule.
4.2.2. The student must RSVP at least three days before the scheduled synchronous
meeting.
4.2.3. The faculty will announce two days before the calendared synchronous meeting if it
will push through or if it will be cancelled. If cancelled, the faculty will announce a
replacement asynchronous activity and the new schedule of the synchronous meeting.
4.3. Synchronous class shall push through regardless of the number of attendees.
4.4. Recording of synchronous sessions shall only be made after seeking the permission of
students. Any objection to this shall bar the recording of synchronous sessions.
4.5. The synchronous meeting will only be held at the schedule indicated in the registration form.
