COMPUTER-DELIVERED TUTORIALS (CDT'S): The Computer Delivered Tutorials (CDTs) are active learning sessions which help, encourage, and reward you for keeping up with the problem-solving component of the course. They are basically open-book automated quizzes during which you have access to tutorial assistance. Students in groups of two answer questions delivered by a computer, where they are allowed to use textbooks/notes and discuss the solution methods with TAs and peers. The CDTs will use numerical value questions based on the course concepts and the end chapter problems. The questions will have random properties making each CDT unique. All CDTs start in the tutorial sessions with the following details: The first CDT has 5 simple questions to allow you to learn the software. This CDT is not graded. The remaining CDTs comprise about 5-10 questions, equally weighted, and scheduled as follows: a) 1 hr CDTs held completed in 20-40 min. b) 2 hr CDTs held when there is no lab, completed in 60-90 min. LABORATORY WORK: Lab. work is done at the WEEF Lab (E2-1310). Lab experiments will be performed in groups of two students. Lab procedures and studies are described in the Laboratory Exercises Manual. You will save much time if you thoroughly study the relevant sections of the lab manual before attempting the experiments in the lab. Come to the lab with a clear understanding of what you are meant to accomplish, or with clear questions, so that the teaching team can help you. The labs require a pre-lab to be completed by each student prior to the start of the lab session. Note that it is necessary to do pre-lab work before attending each lab session The pre-lab and Lab reports should be submitted at the end of the lab session. You submit one report per group of two.

PROBLEMS: Weekly assigned problems are end-of-chapter problems from the course textbooks. Assigned problems are not handed in; however, it is very important for students to complete these problems regularly to gauge and reinforce their comprehension of the concepts and analysis techniques presented throughout the term. Full solutions for the assigned problems will be posted the week after the problems are assigned. Full solutions for the assigned problems will be posted the week after the problems are assigned.

Student Responsibilities Students are expected to know what constitutes academic integrity, to avoid committing academic offences, and to take responsibility for their actions. Students who are unsure whether an action constitutes an offence, or who need help in learning how to avoid offences (e.g., plagiarism, cheating) or about "rules" for group work/collaboration should seek guidance from the course professor, TA, academic advisor, or the Undergraduate Associate Dean. For information on categories of offences and types of penalties, students should refer to Policy #71, Student Academic Discipline. Students who believe that they have been wrongfully or unjustly penalized have the right to grieve; refer to Policy#70, Student Grievance. Specific student responsibilities for MTE 120 are: Your behaviour must be respectful and professional in the lectures, tutorials and labs. You must complete exams as an individual using only the allowable aids. CDT groups must determine their own solution to each question, but they are free to discuss solution methods with TAs and peers, and use textbooks and notes. Lab groups must prepare, perform, and document laboratory experiments as their own original work. This means groups must not copy the Pre-Lab, Measured Data, or Write-Up from other groups (including old labs). Discussion between groups is encouraged, but copying is prohibited. You are responsible for knowing the course schedule, and must monitor UW ACE for changes to the schedule and general announcements. You are responsible for informing your instructor and/or the First Year Engineering Office when you miss a lab or test due to extenuating circumstances. Documentation verifying the severity of the situation (e.g., medical note stating student is unable to attend an exam due to severe illness) will be required to provide accommodations. Student Accommodations Note for students with disabilities: The Office for Persons with Disabilities (OPD), located in Needles Hall, Room 1132, collaborates with all academic departments to arrange appropriate accommodations for students with disabilities without compromising the academic integrity of the curriculum. If you require academic accommodations to lessen the impact of your disability, please register with the OPD at the beginning of each academic term.
