    Course Organization and Delivery Mode


    This one-semester course will be delivered by a combination of web-centric supported classroom
    lectures using Blackboard, laboratory project work, and tutorials (3 hours of lectures weekly)
    Lectures are designed to ensure that students understand the concepts of mechatronics.
    Attendance in the lectures is strongly encouraged.
    This course will feature a project-based, hands-on approach to learning how to design, build, and
    control mechatronic and smart systems. In order to learn and understand how to create and
    control mechatronic and smart systems, students must work with mechatronic systems and their
    components and software. As such, this course is designed with a heavy emphasis on project
    work. The five mini-projects will provide exposure to mechatronic systems along with software
    used in their design and control. Laboratory time will be used to provide an opportunity for
    students to work on the mini-projects. This is the ONLY time that access will be provided to the
    hardware associated with the mini-projects, therefore, you must make the most of the time
    allotted. Attendance in your weekly laboratory time slot is MANDATORY. In order to successfully
    complete the mini-projects you will be expected to put in a significant amount of work on the
    mini-projects OUTSIDE of your lab time including completing a set of pre-project requirements
    for each mini-project.
    There will be two open session lectures for students to work on their group design project using
    LEGO Mindstorms and to ask TAs questions regarding the projects. This is the ONLY time that
    access will be provided to the facilities to test your projects, therefore, you must make the most
    of the time allotted. In order to successfully complete the group design project you will be
    expected to put in a significant amount of work on the projects OUTSIDE of your tutorial time.
    The online course related communication will be mainly conducted via Blackboard. A portion of
    the lecture notes will be made available to students in Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word,
    or Adobe Acrobat format. Students are responsible for checking Blackboard REGULARLY for
    course information and announcements.

    Final Grade Breakdown


    The progressive development of both theoretical knowledge and design skills by each student
    will be assessed via a variety of assessment tools of unequal level of difficulty. Throughout the
    term, students will be assigned eight biweekly group problem sets (6 students per group) and a
    group design project. There will be a written midterm and final examination each of which will
    include a practical portion that will demonstrate students proficiency in Theoretical Knowledge
    base. Every student will need to demonstrate through the assigned individual and group work
    that basic engineering and design skills have been achieved.

    Academic Integrity and Conduct


    Students and faculty at UOIT share an important responsibility to maintain the integrity of the teaching and
    learning relationship. This relationship is characterized by honesty, fairness and mutual respect for the aim and
    principles of the pursuit of education. Academic misconduct impedes the activities of the university community
    and is punishable by appropriate disciplinary action.
    Students are expected to be familiar with UOIT's regulations on Academic Conduct (Section 5.15 of the
    Academic Calendar) which sets out the kinds of actions that constitute academic misconduct, including
    plagiarism, copying or allowing one's own work to copied, use of unauthorized aids in examinations and tests,
    submitting work prepared in collaboration with another student when such collaboration has not been authorized,
    and other academic offences. The regulations also describe the procedures for dealing with allegations, and the
    sanctions for any finding of academic misconduct, which can range from a written reprimand to permanent
    expulsion from the university. A lack of familiarity with UOIT's regulations on academic conduct does not
    constitute a defense against its application.
    Further information about academic misconduct can be found in the Academic Integrity link on your laptop.

    Turnitin
    UOIT and faculty members reserve the right to use electronic means to detect and help prevent plagiarism.
    Students agree that by taking this course all assignments are subject to submission for textual similarity review
    by Turnitin.com. Assignments submitted to Turnitin.com will be included as source documents in Turnitin.com's

    Freedom of Information and Protection of Information Act


    The following is an important notice regarding the process for submitting course assignments, quizzes and other
    evaluative material in your courses.
    As you may know, UOIT is governed by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Information Act
    (FIPPA). In addition to providing a mechanism for requesting records held by the university, this legislation
    also requires that UOIT not disclose the personal information of its students without their consent.
    FIPPAs definition of personal information includes, among other things, documents that contain both your
    name and your Banner ID. For example, this could include graded test papers or assignments. To ensure that
    your rights to privacy are protected, UOIT encourages you to use only your Banner ID on assignments or test
    papers being submitted for grading. This policy is intended to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of your
    information where graded papers are returned to groups of students at the same time. If you still wish to write
    both your name and your Banner ID on your tests and assignments, please be advised that UOIT will interpret
    this as an implied consent to the disclosure of your personal information in the normal course of returning graded
    materials to students.
    If you have any questions or concerns relating to the new policy or the issue of implied consent addressed above,
    please contact the UOIT privacy office.
