Learning Outcomes
Note:
The Learning Outcomes defined in this
section are measured throughout the course and form part of the Department’s
continuous improvement process. They are
a key component of the accreditation process for the program and will not be
taken into consideration in determining a student’s actual grade in the
course. For more information on
accreditation, please ask your instructor or visit: http://www.engineerscanada.ca .

Academic
Integrity
You
are expected to exhibit honesty and use ethical behaviour in all aspects of the
learning process. Academic credentials
you earn are rooted in principles of honesty and academic integrity.
Academic
dishonesty is to knowingly act or fail to act in a way that results or could
result in unearned academic credit or advantage. This behaviour can result in serious
consequences, e.g. the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a
notation on the transcript (notation reads: “Grade of F assigned for academic
dishonesty”), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.
It
is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various types of
academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/academicintegrity
The
following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:
1. Plagiarism, e.g. the
submission of work that is not one’s own or for which other credit has been
obtained.
2. Improper collaboration
in group work.
3. Copying or using
unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.
Academic
Accommodations
Students
who require academic accommodation must contact Student accessibility Services
(SAS) to make arrangements with a Program Coordinator. Academic accommodations must be arranged for
each term of study. Student
Accessibility Services can be contact by phone at 905.525.9140 ext. 28652 or
e-mail at sas@mcmaster.ca. For further information, consult McMaster
University’s Policy for Academic Accommodation of
Students with Disabilities.
Notification
of Student Absence and Submission of Request for Relief for Missed Academic
Work
In the event of an absence for medical
or other reasons, students should review and follow the Academic Regulation in
the Undergraduate Calendar "Requests for Relief for Missed Academic Term
Work" : http://www.mcmaster.ca/msaf/. "
Notice
Regarding Possible Course Modification
The
instructor and university reserve the right to modify elements of the course
during the term. The university may
change the dates and deadlines for any or all courses in extreme
circumstances. If either type of
modification becomes necessary, reasonable notice and communication with the
students will be given with explanation and the opportunity to comment on
changes. It is the responsibility of the
student to check their McMaster email and course websites weekly during the
term and to note any changes.
On-line
Statement for Courses Requiring Online Access or Work
In
this course, we will be using webpages.
Students should be aware that, when they access the electronic
components of this course, private information such as first and last names,
user names for the McMaster e-mail accounts, and program affiliation may become
apparent to all other students in the same course. The available information is dependent on the
technology used. Continuation in this
course will be deemed consent to this disclosure. If you have any questions or concerns about
such disclosure, please discuss this with the course instructor.

Information for Laboratory Safety and Important Contacts
This document is for users of ECE
instructional laboratories in the Information Technology Building.
This document provides important information
for the healthy and safe operation of ECE instructional laboratories. This
document is required reading for all laboratory supervisors, instructors,
researchers, staff, and students working in or managing instructional
laboratories in ECE. It is expected that revisions and updates to this document
will be done continually. A McMaster
University lab manual is also available to read in every laboratory.
General Health and Safety Principles
Good laboratory practice requires that
every laboratory worker and supervisor observe the following:
1. Food and beverages are not permitted
in the instructional laboratories.
2. A Laboratory Information Sheet on each lab door identifying potential
hazards and emergency contact names
should be known.
3. Laboratory equipment should only be
used for its designed purpose.
4. Proper and safe use of lab equipment
should be known before using it.
5. The course TA leading the lab should
be informed of any unsafe condition.
6. The location and correct use of all
available safety equipment should be known.
7. Potential hazards and appropriate safety precautions should be
determined, and sufficiency of existing safety equipment should be confirmed
before beginning new operations.
8. Proper waste disposal procedures
should be followed.
Location of Safety Equipment
Fire Extinguisher First Aid Kit
On walls in halls outside of labs ITB A111, or dial “88” after
4:30 p.m.
Telephone Fire Alarm
Pulls
On the wall of every lab near the
door Near all
building exit doors on all floors
In Case of a Fire (Dial 88)
When calling to report a fire, give
name, exact location, and building.
1. Immediately vacate the building via
the nearest Exit Route. Do not use elevators!
2. Everyone is responsible for knowing
the location of the nearest fire extinguisher, the fire alarm, and the nearest
fire escape.
3. The safety of all people in the vicinity
of a fire is of foremost importance. But do not endanger yourself!
4. In the event of a fire in your work
area shout “Fire!" and pull the nearest fire alarm.
5. Do not attempt to extinguish a fire
unless you are confident it can be done in a prompt and safe manner utilizing a
hand-held fire extinguisher. Use the appropriate fire extinguisher for the
specific type of fire. Most labs are equipped with Class A, B, and C
extinguishers. Do not attempt to extinguish Class D fires which involve
combustible metals such as magnesium, titanium, sodium, potassium, zirconium,
lithium, and any other finely divided metals which are oxidizable. Use a fire
sand bucket for Class D fires.
6. Do not attempt to fight a major fire
on your own.
7. If possible, make sure the room is
evacuated; close but do not lock the door and safely exit the building.
Clothing on Fire
Do not use a fire extinguisher on people
1. Douse with water from safety shower
immediately or
2. Roll on floor and scream for help or
3. Wrap with fire blanket to smother
flame (a coat or other nonflammable fiber may be used if blanket is
unavailable). Do not wrap a standing person; rather, lay the victim down to
extinguish the fire. The blanket should be removed once the fire is out to
disperse the heat.
Equipment Failure or Hazard
Failure of equipment may be indicative
of a safety hazard - You must report all incidents.
Should you observe excessive heat,
excessive noise, damage, and/or abnormal behaviour of the lab equipment:
1. Immediately discontinue use of the
equipment.
2. In Power Lab, press wall-mounted
emergency shut-off button.
3. Inform your TA of the problem.
4. Wait for further instructions from
your TA.
5. TA must file an incident report.
Protocol for Safe Laboratory Practice
Leave equipment in a safe state for the
next person - if you’re not sure, ask!
In general, leave equipment in a safe
state when you finish with it. When in doubt, consult the course TA.
