Notes |
| Graduate Attribute: | |
| This course emphasizes and develops the CEAB (Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board) graduate attribute of problem analysis. The attribute is defined by CEAB as follows: | |
| Problem analysis: An ability to use appropriate knowledge and skills to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex engineering problems in order to reach substantiated conclusions. | |
| Problem analysis is an important skill that all engineers should acquire. It consists of the process of understanding and analyzing a problem following a well-defined approach in order to reach the best possible solutions. In the first part of the course, we will cover problem analysis techniques in the lectures. In this course, students will develop skills to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex problems. | |
| Late Submissions: | |
| Absolutely NO extension on assignments will be granted and NO late submissions will be accepted, except in the event of a valid medical emergency. In the case of a medical emergency, it is YOUR responsibility to contact your Teaching Assistant Ehsan Saboori PRIOR to the submission deadline. Then, as soon as possible submit proper official medical documentation to Dr. Rivaz. The medical documentation must CLEARLY state that you were incapacitated for an extended period of time prior to the submission deadline and were unable to complete the assignment. The instructor will review your documentation, may even call the doctor to verify the information, and will then make a decision whether your medical note was accepted or not. Merely submitting a medical note is no guarantee that a late submission will be accepted. | |
| Academic Integrity: | |
| Violation of the Academic Code of Conduct in any form will be severely dealt with. This includes copying (even with modifications) of program segments. You must demonstrate independent thought through your submitted work. | |
