 ADDENDUM

ACADEMIC CONDUCT ISSUES THAT APPLY IN GENERAL

The basic ten rules that make you a good engineer

The B. Eng. program is set to satisfy most of the requirements for your education and prepares you for a professional
engineering career that requires dedication and knowledge. What you learn, and how you learn, will be used extensively in
your engineering profession for the next 30 to 40 years. Therefore, the four years spent in the engineering program are
crucial towards your professional formation. The first step is for you to learn to “think like an engineer” which means:

• accept responsibility for your own learning

• follow up on lecture material and homework
• learn problem-solving skills, not just how to solve each specific homework problem
• build a body of knowledge integrated throughout your program
• behave responsibly, ethically and professionally

One of the mainstays of being a professional engineer is a professional code of conduct and as an engineering student this
starts with the Academic Code of Conduct (Article 16.3.14 of the undergraduate calendar). However, you may encounter
situations that fall outside the norm and in such cases, you use your common sense.

Further, the following issues should be given serious consideration:

1) Attendance at lectures and tutorials are major learning opportunities and should not be missed. The labs
represent a unique opportunity for you to acquire practical knowledge that you will need in your career. Class and
tutorial attendance is important for you to comprehend the discipline and make the connections between
engineering skills. You are strongly encouraged to participate in the class, ask questions and answer the
instructor’s questions. Tutorials are just extensions of the classes in which application of the concepts presented
during the lectures are presented and problems are practically solved.

2) The decision to write tests that are not mandatory is entirely yours. For example, midterm tests are often stated
in many courses as optional. However, one the objectives of midterms is to check on your comprehension of the
material and allow time for whatever action is necessary (from more study time to discontinuing a course). Plan
to attend the class tests even if they are not mandatory. If you pay attention in the lectures, it will take you
significantly shorter time to comprehend the material. Note also that if you are in the unfortunate position of
being unable to write a final exam due to medical reasons and seek a deferral, this may not be possible if the
instructor has no information indicating that you have been attending the course and assimilating the material (ie
through midterms, quizzes, assignments etc).

3) Homework is usually mandatory and it has some weight in the final grade (such information is given in the course
outline). Homework may also be conceived as training material for the class tests. Under all circumstances, it is
highly recommended to carry out the home work on time and submit it on the prescribed date. Late submissions
are not granted to individual cases regardless of the reason. This is part of the training for being in the workforce
where deadlines have to be met. Please, plan your work such that you submit all the assignments and lab reports
on time and in the correct place (not in the corridor or on the street!).

4) Office hours with tutors, lab instructors or class instructors are listed in the course outline/website/office doors.
Please respect these office hours and in case you have a serious conflict, contact the instructor asking for a special
time arrangement.

5) Class tests (midterms, quizzes) are returned to the student. The final exams are not. If you wish to see your exam
paper, be aware that most instructors allow only a narrow window of time for that purpose. For the fall term,
exams may usually be reviewed in January and May for the spring term.
6) When you see your marked work (assignments, midterms, final exam etc), be aware that you are supposed to
review your material and see the type of errors you made and if marks have been added incorrectly. This is not
an opportunity to try and “negotiate” a higher grade with the instructor. If you believe that your grade is not right,
you may apply for a formal Course Reevaluation through the Birks Student Centre.

7) Writing tests and exams represents a major component of your course work. These tests and exams have rigorous
requirements such as:
a. No cell phone or other communication enabling tool is allowed on the student during the examination
period.
b. Only specified faculty calculators are allowed during tests and exams unless otherwise indicated by the
instructor.
c. Usually, no materials are allowed in the exam unless otherwise announced.
8) Get used to signing in and out of your exam. Make sure that you leave your exam papers with the invigilator.
There are rules concerning general exam issues in the UG Calendar. These requirements are there to eliminate
any possible misunderstanding and you are asked to respect the rules. Disciplinary measures are taken when the
rules are not followed.

9) Respect your colleagues and those that you meet during the class: tutors, instructors, lab instructors, technical
personnel, assistants, etc. Use appropriate communication means and language. Be considerate for all human
beings. This includes small things such as turning off cell-phones before a class begins. Concordia University is a
very diverse group of people and a very large multicultural community.

10) Communication is part of your future profession. Learn how to communicate effectively and efficiently in the
shortest time possible. Write short but meaningful e-mails, make effective phone calls, etc. If your instructor
accepts emails, make sure that your request is clear with the course number and your name in the Subject line.
Do not ask for special treatment as instructors have to treat all students equitably.

11) Respect all the above and you will get closer to your future profession.
