Several exercises would be given from time to time during the course. There is no need to submit solutions to these exercises. You are encouraged to solve them for firm grasp of the topics taught in the course. EVALUATION: The final course grade will be based on the performances in Assignments and the Final examination. To obtain a passing grade in the course the student must obtain minimum of 50% in each of the two components namely Project and Final Examination and achieve an overall score of at least 50%. Failure to obtain a mark of 50% in these two components will result in a course grade of 48% or less. The Table below indicates weights for each of the course components: Component Assignments Project Final Examination

Weight 15% 20% 65%

Penalty (English) 10 % 10% 10%

Penalty (Presentation) 10 % 10% 10%

In accordance with the policy of the University, the grade assigned to all written and oral work pre sented in English shall take into account syntax, diction, grammar and spelling. In the professional life of an engineer, the manner in which oral and written communications are presented is extremely important. An engineering student must develop these skills as an integral part of the undergraduate program. To encourage the student to do so, the grades assigned to all written and oral work will take into account all aspects of presentation including conciseness, organization, neatness, use of headings, and the preparation and use of tables and figures. All work will be marked first for content after which a penalty not to exceed the maximum percentages shown above may be applied for lack of proficiency in English and/or presentation.

UNIVERSITY POLICY: CHEATING University policy states that cheating is a scholastic offence. The commission of a scholastic offence is attended by academic penalties, which might include expulsion from the program. If you are caught cheating, there will be no second warning. PLAGIARISM Plagiarism is a serious Scholastic Offence. Students must essays and assignments in their own words. Whenever students take an idea, or a passage of text from another author, they must acknowledge their debt both by using quotation marks where appropriate and by 2/3

proper referencing such as footnotes or citations. Plagiarism is a major academic offence. The University of Western Ontario uses software for plagiarism checking. Students may be required to submit their written work in electronic form for plagiarism checking ATTENDANCE: Any student who, in the opinion of the instructor is absent too frequently from class or laboratory periods in any course, will be reported to the Dean (after due warning has been given). On the recommen dation of the Department concerned, and with the permission of the Dean, the student will be debarred from taking the regular examination in the course. FINAL EXAM Final Exam will be held on July 8, 2011 between 10.30 AM to 1.30 PM. Final Exam is a 3 hour Limited Open Book Examination. No textbooks, notes, crib sheets etc. are allowed. However, a calculator is permitted. No sharing of calculators will be permitted.
