ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT:

Students are expected to conduct themselves in all aspects of the course at the highest level of
academic integrity. Any student found to commit academic misconduct will be dealt with
according to the Faculty and University practices. More information is available at
http://www.mun.ca/engineering/undergrad/policies/AcademicIntegrity.pdf

Students are encouraged to consult the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Student
Code of Conduct at http://www.mun.ca/engineering/undergrad/policies/ and Memorial
University’s Code of Student Conduct at http://www.mun.ca/student/conduct.

LAB SAFETY:

Students are expected to demonstrate awareness of, and personal accountability for, safe
laboratory conduct. Appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn (e.g. steel-
toed shoes, safety glasses, etc.) and safe work practices must be followed as indicated for
individual laboratories, materials and equipment. Students will immediately report any
concerns regarding safety to the teaching assistant, staff technologist, and professor.

INCLUSION AND EQUITY:

Students who require physical or academic accommodations are encouraged to speak privately
to the instructor so that appropriate arrangements can be made to ensure your full
participation in the course. All conversations will remain confidential.

The university experience is enriched by the diversity of viewpoints, values, and backgrounds
that each class participant possesses. In order for this course to encourage as much insightful
and comprehensive discussion among class participants as possible, there is an expectation that
dialogue will be collegial and respectful across disciplinary, cultural, and personal boundaries.

STUDENT ASSISTANCE: Student Affairs and Services offers help and support in a variety of
areas, both academic and personal. More information can be found at www.mun.ca/student
