Students work in teams under the direction of a faculty advisor (and possibly an industrial sponsor) to tackle an engineering design project. Engineering communication, such as reports and oral presentations, are covered. Course emphasizes practical, hands-on experience, and integrates analytical and design skills acquired in the companion ME 156 courses.

ME156A . Susko T G 1 Year, 5 Months Ago

Too test dependent. Makes test ridiculously long for no reason and 70% of the grade. Good lecture though. Grade received in the class does not reflect student's knowledge because of how test are structured. He wants to see half the class fail. No curve.

ME104 . Susko T G 3 Years Ago

Class that was revamped with an arduino engineering kit. Kit was a bit of a mess, not the fault of the professor, just a lot of hardware and software problems that made completing the required labs difficult but Susko was pretty accommodating. Weekly labs (with reports) and a final.

ME156A . Susko T G 4 Years Ago

Prerecorded lectures are all over the place, making the content extremely difficult to follow. Quizzes and final were quite difficult, and often frustrating, especially when they are poorly worded, or have you flipping all around the book to find the appropriate diagrams. Also, all the material covered is completely useless imo.

ME189 . Susko T G 4 Years Ago

I know it a tough quarter, but apparently susko did not teach enough concepts and ideas to students. His teaching style is not clear and formal; everything is flying all around the blackboard. I hope we have other professors to teach the course.

ME156 . Susko T G 5 Years Ago

I wish I have another option. His teaching style is unclear and unorganized. I don't want one professor to teach all the courses that are required to graduate.

ME189 . Susko T G 5 Years Ago

I have taken ME10, ME 156 and I am in ME189 all taught by Susko. I sure wish he would teach us something. ME10 was fun, but now that I am a senior I realize it was just play and he did not teach us enough. ME156 was just not helpful. And don't even get me started on the joke that is capstone. How did this guy get in charge of so many classes?!
