Department of McGill University 2016--17 Undergraduate Student Handbook Updated: June 2016 For Academic Advising and Student Information If there is a discrepancy between what is written here and the Calendar or Website, then this discrepancy should be reported to the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs) in. It is the responsibility of the student to make sure he has the correct and most up---to---date information. Note that the University Calendar can be up to one year late for incorporating changes. This Student Handbook is up---to---date. The active participation of students in the advising process is essential in order for them to access the full range of academic opportunities during their studies. They must be proactive in seeking meetings with various advisors, professors, counsellors, and such to ensure that they receive the advice they need to formulate a personal plan of study and to meet their academic goals. It should be noted that, while advisors are there to provide students with guidance, students are ultimately responsible for meeting the requirements of their degree or diploma. It is their responsibility to inform themselves about the rules and regulations of the University, their faculty, and their program. With the cooperation of students, all advisors and counsellors can work together to help students throughout their undergraduate studies. Lastly, McGill University values academic integrity. Therefore all students must understand the meaning and consequences of cheating, plagiarism and other academic offences under the Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures (see http://www.mcgill.ca/integrity/ for more information). L'université McGill attache une haute importance à l honnêteté académique. Il incombe par conséquent à tous les étudiants de comprendre ce que l'on entend par tricherie, plagiat et autres infractions académiques, ainsi que les conséquences que peuvent avoir de telles actions, selon le Code de conduite de l'étudiant et des procédures disciplinaires (pour de plus amples renseignements, veuillez consulter le site see http://www.mcgill.ca/integrity/). 4

Department of Departmental Policy The following is a list of important policies of the Department of that are related to registration, graduation and other issues. Many students are not aware of some of the rules and end up violating them. Students are strongly advised to meet their advisor at the beginning of each year. This will help avoid any unnecessary problems that may result in a delay of their graduation. *************************************** Pre-Requisites The Department does not allow students to register for any core course without having completed the necessary pre---requisites. Co---requisites, if any, must also be satisfied. Completion of a course means that the student has obtained a grade of C or better. If a student has a D, F, deferred grade (e.g., has missed the final exam and has an L or LE grade) then the student is considered to have NOT completed the course, and thus cannot take the next course in a pre---requisite sequence. Exceptions are sometimes made for the pre---requisites to elective courses only. Permission to violate the pre---requisites for an elective course may be granted by the instructor of the elective course. Since students can register for courses in both fall and winter semesters at the same time, sometimes a student may fail a fall semester course and still be registered in winter for a course in which the pre---requisite is no longer met. In such cases, the student must drop any course that violates the pre---requisites. Course Conflicts In the Department of, it is not permitted for students to register for courses with time conflicts. Although the Minerva system does not always catch the conflicts during registration, nevertheless, conflicts are not permitted. A conflict means that two courses have time conflicts, either in the lecture times or tutorial times. Thus, students are not allowed to register for two courses, even if the conflict is only with the tutorial of one course and with the lecture (or tutorial) of the other course. The only exception made to this rule is for the course MECH 497 Value Engineering. This course takes place over an eight---hour period on Mondays, and would normally conflict with several Monday courses. However, in MECH 497, students are only required to be present during one to two of the eight hours and students can easily arrange their MECH 497 meeting such that conflicts are avoided with any other course on Mondays. Exceptions are also made for certain MATH courses, where the tutorials are clearly identified as optional. 7

Graduation Note changes in red, as of summer 2012. Students must meet the requirements of the degree. This means completing the required core courses and technical complementary courses with a grade of C or better and non---technical complementary courses with a grade of D or better. Only non---technical complementary elective courses may be taken on a pass/fail basis (one per term https://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/current-students/undergraduate/coursesregistration/courses-grades/su-option-complementary-courses ). An important change came into effect in fall of 2012, thus we are deleting the following: In some exceptional circumstances, a student may be permitted to graduate with one D in a required course in the student s final semester, or one D in the next---to---final semester if that course is not offered in the student s final semester. Note that this exception is not guaranteed. The student can appeal through the undergraduate program coordinator to ask the Standing Committee to allow them to graduate with this one remaining D on their record. Checking Graduation Students are responsible to make sure they will graduate by taking the correct courses. Close to graduation, please take the following steps: a) Start by using the Minerva Degree Evaluation tool. Although far from perfect, it is a place to start. This tool usually indicates some false problems, for example, it does not recognize a technical complementary course taken outside of our department. It also has trouble with the Non---Technical Complementary Courses. b) The Degree Evaluation tool is not very good, so it is better to print out your stream chart and check off the courses you have taken one-by-one. c) If after steps (a) and (b) you are still not sure, please consult the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator (ugrad.mech@mcgill.ca), an advisor or the Engineering Student Centre, depending upon the problem. Stream A - Option 1 & Option 2 Two different streams were introduced in fall 2002 in order to reduce class size from previous years (max 160 to max 90). Students are now assigned a stream when they enter the program. Problems have occurred when classes become full, caused by students not following their stream. If a class is full, only students in the correct stream can be allowed into that class, but even this is not guaranteed. Students may have to wait until a subsequent semester. Exceptions will be made, of course, for students who require a course in order to avoid a delay in graduation. Courses with Laboratory Components For courses that contain a laboratory component, the laboratory component is required, and must be completed. Non--- completion of a laboratory component could result in a K (incomplete) grade, even if the student would normally still pass the course in terms of grade percentage. The K grade will be removed once the student has completed the required lab components. 8

Courses Outside McGill University All core courses must be completed at McGill University. Permission for elective courses to be taken outside the University may be granted in rare cases (e.g., special interest in a subject and lack of an equivalent Technical Complementary course at McGill, or other special cases). Students taking part in official exchange programs are permitted to take courses outside McGill University, obviously. Courses Outside the Department Students are expected to concentrate their efforts in any given semester on taking courses that will lead to their degree or will fulfill approved minors or areas of concentration. Students may register in other courses offered at McGill University provided that these courses are specified in Minerva as "extra" or S/U courses that will not count toward their TGPA or CGPA. The expectation is that students should be concentrating on their program ---related courses. Students MUST code courses under the S/U OPTION at the time of registration on MINERVA. The Option will NOT be added or dropped manually to a student's record after the Drop/Add deadline. However, if you are taking a course solely for your own interest, you may code this course as Extra ; in order to do this you must go to the Engineering Student Centre and fill out a Course Authorization Form which must be then signed by your department advisor and brought back to them for processing - http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/current-students/undergraduate/coursesregistration/courses-grades/extra-courses Please note that this grading mode must be chosen on MINERVA prior to the add/drop deadline of the current term. If you have chosen a course that is not permitted as Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory, the S/U option will be manually removed from your record by MESC. Minors and Concentrations There are various possibilities for specialization in certain fields. Usually this involves taking extra courses. The Department offers two concentrations (Aerospace, Design) and the University has various minors. Please consult the specific websites at McGill University for information about these options. Upper Limit on Credits The upper limit for credits in one semester is 18. Requests to take more than 18 credits in one semester are usually denied, unless there are exceptional circumstances (e.g. good students who need 19 credits to graduate one semester early, in their final semester). In general, students with a below---average GPA are not permitted to go beyond 18 credits. 9

Exchange Programs/Internships The Department encourages students to take advantage of the internship/exchange programs, but a good plan is essential! Many students do not realize the challenges posed by going on an Internship or on a student exchange. Exchange programs often mean that students will be lacking certain courses that were not offered at the foreign university. Some courses are especially critical and can lead to prerequisite sequence problems upon the student s return to McGill University. A good example of this is the fact that both Design I and Design II are necessary pre---requisites for taking MECH 463 ( Project). Exchange students must ensure that they complete the requirements for Design I and II before taking MECH 463. Please ensure that you have foreseen such problems before going away on exchange or internship. A good recommendation is to make a complete plan for your courses beyond the exchange year right up until graduation. Supplemental exams The Department does not offer supplemental exams. The Eligible Engineering List of Supplemental Exams are (subject to change): CHEM 110, CHEM 120, CHEM 212, CHEM 234, COMP 202, MATH 133, MATH 140, MATH 141, MATH 150, MATH 152, MATH 247, MATH 248, MATH 317, PHYS 131, PHYS 142, some Science courses administered by the Faculty of Science in addition to Humanities and Social Science courses administered by the Faculty of Arts. Students are responsible for not only verifying if a Supplemental is being offered but must apply online for a supplemental exam at: http://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/currentstudents/undergraduate/courses-registration/exams-assessment/supplementals Exam Viewing and Re-read Students may request to see their final exams (exam viewing). This request comes with a form that must be filled out and submitted to the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator (ugrad.mecheng@mcgill.ca) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. An exam viewing is for the student to see his/her exam only and does not allow for any grade change. If a student feels that the grading was not done correctly, the student must request a re---read and fill out a Request to Review a Final Exam form at the Engineering Student Centre, FDA Building, Room 22. A copy of this form is on the page 12. In a re---read, the final exam is re--- examined by another professor. If there is a grade change, then the student is not charged the fee of $35.00. If there is no change of grade, then the student is charged this fee. Note: As a result of a re---read it is also possible for a grade to go down (e.g. D to F ) 10

Student Forms: Please print the form, obtain the appropriate signatures and submit to the Student Affairs Office. The Course Authorization Form (CA) The Request for Course Authorization [.pdf] form is mainly used for all course registration permits, special registration permissions, credit limit increases and to add or drop a minor or concentration. The request for a Letter Form When the Minerva Proof of Enrolment letter is not sufficient, students may request a special letter using the Request for a letter [.pdf]. Exchange Program Forms Outgoing Exchange Students The following link provides details for McGill students going on exchange: https://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/current-students/undergraduate/exchanges-studyaway/outgoing Incoming Exchange students The following link provides details for Incoming Exchange: https://www.mcgill.ca/engineering/current-students/undergraduate/exchanges-studyaway/incoming For all inquiries please email or in person go to the McGill Engineering Student Centre (MESC), Frank Dawson Adams Bldg., room 22. 11

Department of Request to Review Final Exam Form DATE: / / (YYYY) (MM) (DD) EMAIL ADDRESS: STUDENT ID#: LAST NAME: FIRST NAME: COURSE NUMBER: MECH - TERM: FALL WINTER SUMMER COURSE TITLE: INSTRUCTOR S NAME: By signing below, you acknowledge that you have read and understand the following: The Review gives students the opportunity to consult any written submission for which they have received a mark and to discuss this submission with the examiner provided the submission has not been returned to him/her and provided the request is made within a reasonable time frame. See the Charter of Student Rights. The purpose of the Review process is not to correct the grade. The grade will not be changed by the examiner unless some perfectly straightforward error has been made, such as in transcribing or adding marks. There will be no attempt made to re-judge whether a partial mark is fair or not. Such re-assessment is the function of a Re-Read (contact the McGill Engineering Student Centre). The deadlines to submit a request to review a final exam are January 20, May 19 and September 16 for fall, winter and summer courses, respectively. The probable dates of the sessions to review a final exam are January 27, May 26 and September 20 for fall, winter and summer courses, respectively. STUDENT S SIGNATURE: DEPARTMENTAL SIGNATURE: 12

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE (for students) Issue Question to ask Solution You are trying to find out whether you are in Stream A or Stream B? Do you have the Departmental acceptance letter indicating Stream A (Option 1 or Option 2) or Stream B? If not, please consult the list of advisors on the undergraduate bulletin board (near ENGMD 270). You are not following recommended course sequence? Advanced credit? What has happened? Do you want advance credits for pre-- engineering (U0) courses? Students should follow the sequence. Students that fall out of the recommended course sequence end up with conflicts and pre-- requisite problems. U0 students should see Ms. Lesley Morin or equivalent in the Engineering Student Centre, FDA 22. Do you want advance credits for regular program courses (U1 and beyond, including math courses)? You are not sure of your Pre--- Engineering Advanced credits. Honours Program? You are interested in the Honours program? If yes, please see the Professor--- in-- Charge of Course Equivalency / Advanced Credits. Check your Minerva record. If yes, please see Professor-- in--- Charge of Advising for the Honours Program. Recommendation: wait until at least Semester three. You want to take courses outside the Mechanical Engineering Program? You cannot register; the course is capped or full? You cannot register; there is a program restriction? You want to take a course without the pre-- requisite? What is the reason? Can you re-- arrange your schedule? Most courses are offered in both fall and winter semesters. What is my program year (U1, U2, U3)? Is it a core course? Courses outside your program are not permitted. Please see the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs). If the course is needed (e.g. to graduate) permission must be obtained from the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs). Some classes are reserved for students of a certain status. (e.g., a U1 cannot take a 400--- level course). If core course, permission cannot be granted. No exceptions, even if the student has already taken and failed the pre- requisite ( D", F "J" or "L"). 13

Is it a technical elective? If yes, then permission may be granted by the course instructor. Students should see the professor-- in-- charge of the elective course. Have him or her send a message to the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs). You want to take an equivalent course for credit? Is the course Numerical Methods, MATH 317 equivalent to MECH 309? No, this is not acceptable. Is it for a core course or a technical elective? Is it for a course outside McGill? If yes, see the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs). Normally, this is not permitted. You want to EXCEED 18 credits? You want to take a non- --Mechanical Engineering course as a technical elective? Are you in your final year with a reasonable GPA? Do you have a valid reason? If yes, see the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs). Permission to take some courses is not granted, such as MATH338 History and Philosophy of Mathematics. Refer to the list of courses in the Handbook which have been accepted/refused in the past. Any course not contained in the list must be approved by the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs). Procedure for a adding a Minor or concentration? Read the appropriate section in the online calendar. Students may take courses in a minor/concentration even before signing up for it. However, students must s ign u p before graduation. The course authorization form is used(exception: Minor in Management). Students applying for the Minor in Management please go to the following link: http://www.mcgill.ca/desautels/programs/bcom/academics/courseinformation/minors-non-management-students 14

Mech Labs: Information and Frequently Asked Questions MECH 362--- Mechanical Laboratory (Mech Labs) MECH 362 Mechanical Laboratory I (two credits) This course consists of a set of experiments that support the theoretical background covered in the following courses: MECH 240 Thermodynamics, MECH 315 Vibrations, MECH 331 Fluid Mechanics I, and MECH 346 Heat Transfer. Students should sign up in teams of two to do experiments in one or more areas, in the term following the completion of one or more of the above courses. Thus, this course should be completed over several semesters. Students will not formally register for the course on Minerva until the semester in which they sign up for their last topic(s) to complete a total of eight experiments (two experiments per course). Where are Mech Labs located? Mech Labs are conducted in the recently renovated Room MD 51 on the ground floor of the Macdonald Engineering Building. What is the weekly Mech Labs schedule? Mech Labs can be scheduled between 1:30 and 5:30 p.m. three days a week from Tuesday to Thursday. The Mech Lab schedule will indicate the time slot and the lab assigned for each team to attend and complete their lab. What if you have a conflict with Mech Lab times? Mech Labs only can be scheduled between 1:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. three days a week from Tuesday to Thursday. If you have a conflict with all these times, please plan to sign up in the following term(s). What are the topics covered in Mech Lab experiments? Mech Labs consist of a set of experiments covering four main topics: Thermodynamics, Fluids, Heat Transfer, and Vibrations. Each team of two students will have to complete a total of eight labs (that is, two labs per topic) to complete the MECH 362 course requirements. When I can sign---up for a certain Mech Lab topic? You can sign---up for a certain lab topic after completing the pre---requisite course(s) as listed below: Lab Topics Thermodynamics Labs Fluids Labs Heat Transfer Labs Pre---requisite courses MECH 240 --- Thermodynamics I MECH 331 --- Fluid Mechanics MECH 346 --- Heat Transfer Vibration Labs MECH 315 --- Mechanics 3 24

Mech Labs: Information (continued) Typically, each team can sign---up for one topic per semester (two labs per semester). Thus, this course should be completed over several semesters. Two topics (four labs) also are permitted. What is the Correct Time to Register for MECH 362 on Minerva? THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Students should start to sign---up (without registration) to do Mech Lab topics after completing the pre---requisite course(s). Students can register for MECH 362 on Minerva ONLY if they are signing up for the eighth and final set of topics and labs in that semester. If you are not completing all the requirements for MECH 362 during that semester, then please do NOT register on Minerva. What is the procedure to sign---up for Mech Lab topics? During the first week of each fall and winter semester, all mechanical engineering students will receive a Mech Lab sign---up invitation, along with a sign---up Excel sheet and instructions. Students should sign---up in teams of two. With their team partner, students should sign up for the same Mech Lab topic(s). Both team partners should have close time availability to do their Mech Labs. You and your partner should fill and submit ONE sign---up Excel sheet by following the signing up procedure indicated in the last section of the sign---up Excel sheet. If you could not find a team partner, you may submit your form leaving the partner section blank. We will try to team you up with another student. Please not that this process cannot be guaranteed and might take a long time. All completed sign---up Excel sheets should be emailed to: mechlab.mecheng@m cgill.ca before the deadline indicated. How I can obtain the Mech Lab manual? The updated lab manual of each experiment is available online on the mycourses website. Hardcopies of manuals are no longer printed and distributed. How I can get my Mech Lab schedule? The schedule will be posted during the second week of September on the mycourses website. We urge you to check this website for Mech Lab schedule and any following schedule updates. How is the course grade determined? The final course grade will be determined from the average of the grades for the eight labs. Starting Sept 2014 all courses with a laboratory component ---completion of the labs is compulsory and a passing grade on that component must be obtained. What about the Mech Lab final exam? There is no final exam for this course. 25

Mech Labs: Information (continued) What is the best procedure to prepare for my Mech Labs? In general, each Mech Lab experiment should be performed into two steps. The first step is to prepare a pre-laboratory preliminary report and Excel sheet. These documents should be submitted through the assignment section on mycourses, 24 hours before the scheduled Mech Lab experiment. The second step is to submit your final lab report and Excel sheet one week after completing the scheduled experiment. The mycourses website provides important details about the way Mech Labs are being offered and some best practices and guidelines to prepare for pre--- laboratories and final labs submissions.

The second technical complementary must be at the 300---level or higher within the Department of (not necessarily on the short list ). 27

iii. The third technical complementary course must be at the 300---level or higher, and can be, with approval, within: 1) Department of 2) Faculty of Engineering (Honours Program - MIME 260 is an accepted Faculty of Engineering course) or 3) Faculty of Science, including the Department of Mathematics. Courses from the Faculty of Science are generally approved on a case---by---case basis to determine if the course is acceptable as a technical complementary. The course must have sufficient technical content and not significantly overlap in content with any of the core courses. For your reference, the list below gives a selection of courses that have or have not been accepted in the past. Courses that are not listed below, yet are at a sufficiently high level (300---level or higher) and are obviously technical courses, will likely be approved. Note that other courses can be added to this list. If there is any doubt about the acceptability of any course, please contact the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs).
