  5. How first year gets you there... APSC-100 Basic science & math Year 1 APSC-190 Year 2 Specialized technical theory and skills Design Ethics Measurement Teamwork Year 3 Communications Year 4 Design Lab courses Tech Comm Employment or further studies!

  6. Important items as you start yoursemester • Professional behaviour at Queen’s University • Moodle – student course management system

  7. Professional code of conduct Engineers have a duty to act with: • fairness and loyalty to associates, employers, clients, subordinates and employees, • fidelity to public needs, • devotion to high ideals of personal honour and professional integrity, and, • not attempt to gain an advantage over other practitioners • give proper credit for engineering work Professional Engineers Ontario Code of Ethics, Section 77 of the O. Reg. 941 http://www.peo.on.ca/Ethics/code_of_ethics.html

  8. Expectations for instructors and students • You expect instructors to: • help you develop professional and technical skills required of engineers • clearly explain the expectations in the Applied Science program • stay current in their fields, and ensure that the time you spend here helps you develop as an engineer • We expect students to: • Respect rights of other students to learn, in class and out • Act with integrity in academic matters

  9. Moodle Course Management System What Are we using Moodle for? • Submitting deliverables • Calendar • Course Information • Tracking grades What’s expected of you? • Be aware of the resources on moodle • Stay current with information on moodle • Submit deliverables according to moodle instructions https://moodle.engineering.queensu.ca
