PREAMBLE This handbook seeks to inform, guide, and assist undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at McGill University. The official list of programs, policies, rules, regulations, and syllabus is available on the University eCalendar (www.mcgill.ca/study/2018-2019/). The eCalendar is frequently updated and revised; so, please make sure to consult the latest version of the documents available on the website. If you find any discrepancy between this handbook and the eCalendar, then please report the discrepancy to the Associate Chair (Prof. Srikar Vengallatore, room ENGMD 363, [email protected]). Students can access the full range of academic opportunities available at the university by seeking guidance, advice, and help from the academic staff. Please be proactive in seeking meetings with the various advisors, professors, and counsellors to ensure that you receive the advice needed to meet your 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. It is your responsibility to learn the rules and regulations of the University, Faculty, Department, and the program. Advisors and counsellors are available to work together with you to offer help, advice, and guidance throughout your undergraduate studies.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

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 www.mcgill.ca/students/srr/honest/ for more information). (approved by Senate on 29 January 2003)

To ensure that all students are aware of, and understand, the expectations of academic integrity that are placed on them, all students must complete a mandatory Academic Integrity Tutorial by the end of their first semester enrolled at McGill University.

The Academic Integrity Tutorial is available online on myCourses as course AAAA 100.

CURRICULUM AND STREAMS

When students enter the undergraduate program in Mechanical Engineering, they are assigned to one of the following two streams:

Stream A: CEGEP-entry (STUDENTS FROM QUEBEC)

Stream B: non-CEGEP-entry (OUT-OF-PROVINCE AND INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS)

The third stream (Stream C) is for students who choose to transfer to the Honours Program.

The degree requirements are different for each of the three streams. It is therefore vitally important to acquire details pertinent to your stream.

The Appendix contains the curriculum and recommended course sequences for each stream so that the program can be completed in four years. Consult the curriculum for your stream and follow the recommendations. If, for any reason, it becomes necessary to deviate from the recommendations (or you wish to take an extra semester to graduate), then make sure to consult an Academic Advisor to formulate a personalized course sequence.

TECHNICALCOMPLEMENTARYCOURSESAll students are required to take three Technical Complementary Courses.

i. One of the three technical complementary courses must be chosen among the Design Intensive Technical Complementary Courses or the “short list” of complementary courses below.

Students taking a course from the "short list" for the first time must comply with the technical complementary courses in the most recent University Calendar (regardless of date‐of‐entry into the program). For special case that do not fall under this category, please contact the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs).

CHEE 563 * Biofluids and Cardiovascular Mechanics* MECH 497 Value Engineering MECH 498 Interdisciplinary Design Project I MECH 499 Interdisciplinary Design Project II MECH 513 Control Systems MECH 529 Discrete Manufacturing Systems MECH 530 Mechanics of Composite Materials MECH 532 Aircraft Performance, Stability and Control MECH 535 Turbomachinery and Propulsion MECH 536 Aircraft Structures MECH 541 Kinematic Synthesis MECH 543 Design with Composite Materials MECH 544 Processing of Composite Materials MECH 553 Design and Manufacturing of Microdevices MECH 557 Mechatronic Design MECH 559 Engineering Systems Optimization MECH 560 Eco-design and Product Life Cycle Assessment MECH 563* Biofluids and Cardiovascular Mechanics* MECH 565 Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer Equipment MECH 573 Mechanics of Robotic Systems MECH 577 Optimum Design

*Students select either CHEE 563 or MECH 563

ii. The second technical complementary must be at the 400‐‐‐level or higher within the

Department of Mechanical Engineering (not necessarily on the “short list”).

8

iii. The third technical complementary course must be at the 300‐‐‐level or higher, and

can be, with approval, within: 1) Department of Mechanical Engineering 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 Mechanical Engineering core courses.

Listed below a selection of courses that have been accepted in the past. Also listed are courses that have not been accepted because the content is not sufficiently technical. If you are considering a course that is not on the list, then please contact the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Affairs) to check whether it can be accepted as the third technical complementary course.

ACADEMIC POLICIES

This section lists the policies of the Department of Mechanical Engineering that are related to registration, graduation, and other academic issues. Violation of the rules can have significant consequences (including a delay in graduation); ignorance of rules will not be accepted as an excuse. Students are strongly advised to meet their Academic Advisor at the beginning of each academic year.

1. Pre-Requisites and Co-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”, or a deferred grade (e.g., 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. For elective courses: students can register for the course even if they lack the necessary pre-requisites if they can obtain the permission of the Instructor. Permission is granted only in rare cases based on the academic record of the student. During the month of April each year, students typically register for courses for the forthcoming Fall and Winter terms at the same time. However, if a student fails to complete a Fall semester course, and if that course is a pre-requisite for a Winter term core course, then the student must drop the Winter term core course.

2. Course Conflicts

Students are not permitted to register for courses with time conflicts. This regulation applies to both lectures and tutorials. 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. Please note that the online system (Minerva) does not consistently flag conflicts; therefore, it is necessary to check your schedule carefully to ensure that it is free of time conflicts.

The only exceptions to this rule are: (i) MECH 497–Value Engineering, and (ii) certain MATH courses where the tutorials are clearly identified as “optional”.

3. Path to Graduation

It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that all program and degree requirements are satisfied to ensure a timely graduation. Specifically, all required core courses and technical complementary courses must be completed with a grade of “C” or better. All other complementary courses must be completed with a grade of “D” or better. For details on the Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option for non-technical complementary courses: www.mcgill.ca/engineering/students/courses-registration/courses-grades/su-option-complementary-courses

16

An important change came into effect in fall of 2012, thus the following is being deleted from the regulations: 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.

4. Verifying Graduation

As you approach the final year of the program, 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 our department. It also has trouble with the Non--‐Technical Complementary Courses.

b) Print out the curriculum for your stream, and check off all completed courses one-by-one. c) If there are any questions, please consult the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator, an

Academic Advisor, or the McGill Engineering Student Centre, depending upon the problem.

5. Courses with Laboratory Components

The laboratory component is mandatory for courses that contain such components. Failure to complete the laboratory component could result in a “K” (incomplete) grade, even if the student has earned sufficient marks in the non-laboratory components for a passing grade. The “K” grade will be removed after the student has successfully completed all required lab components.

6. Taking Courses outside McGill University

All core courses must be completed at McGill University. (The only exception is for students taking part in an official and authorized Exchange Program.) For elective courses, permission is rarely granted to take courses outside the university, and then only under exceptional circumstances.

7. Taking Courses in Other Departments and Programs

Students are expected to concentrate their efforts on taking courses that will lead to their Mechanical Engineering degree or to 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” (Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory) courses that will not count toward their TGPA or CGPA.

The courses must be coded under the S/U OPTION at the time of registration on MINERVA. The option will NOT be added or dropped manually after the Drop/Add deadline. 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 the McGill Engineering Student Center (MESC).

17

If you are taking a course solely for your own interest, you may code this course as “Extra”. Fill out a Course Authorization Form, obtain the approval of an Academic Advisor, and submit to MESC. For additional details, please consult the following website: www.mcgill.ca/engineering/students/courses‐registration/courses‐grades/extra‐courses

8. Minors and Concentrations

There are several possibilities for specialization in different fields by taking extra courses. The Department of Mechanical Engineering offers concentrations in Aerospace and Design, and the University offers several minors. Please consult the following website for details: mcgill.ca/engineering/students/advising‐programs/academic‐program‐curriculum/minor‐programs

9. Upper Limit on Credits

The upper limit for credits in one semester is 18. Requests to exceed the credit limit must be made to the Associate Chair (Undergraduate Student Affairs), but please note that permission is rarely granted to exceed 18 credits in any one semester.

10. Supplemental Exams

Courses administered by the Faculty of Engineering do not have supplemental examinations; however, Engineering students may be eligible to write a supplemental examination in courses administered by the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science. Students are responsible for verifying if a Supplemental is being offered and for applying online for a supplemental exam. For details, please consult the following website: mcgill.ca/engineering/students/courses‐registration/exams‐assessment/supplementals

11. Exam Review

In accordance with the Charter of Student Rights, and subject to the conditions stated therein, students have the right to consult any written submission for which they have received a mark and the right to discuss this submission with the examiner. To consult Final Exams after the grades have been announced, please fill out the “Request to Review Final Exam” form (available at the Reception Desk in ENGMD 270) and submit to the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator. The Exam Review is only for the student to view the exam. No attempt will be made to re-judge whether a partial mark is fair or not. Similarly, there is no possibility of changing the grade. 12. Reassessment of a Grade and Reread

Students who wish to request a formal reread of a final exam must contact the McGill Engineering Student Center (MESC). Details are available at the following website: mcgill.ca/engineering/students/courses‐registration/exams‐assessment/reassessment‐grade

MECH 362‐‐‐ Mechanical Laboratory (Mech Labs)

Information and Frequently Asked Questions

MECH 362 Mechanical Laboratory I (2 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 Pre‐‐‐requisite courses

Thermodynamics Labs MECH 240 ‐‐‐ Thermodynamics I

Fluids Labs MECH 331 ‐‐‐ Fluid Mechanics

Heat Transfer Labs MECH 346 ‐‐‐ Heat Transfer

Vibration Labs MECH 315 ‐‐‐ Mechanics 3

19

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: [email protected] 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.

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.

EXCHANGE PROGRAMS AND INTERNSHIPS Internships and Exchange Programs offer many benefits and a wealth of experience. However, careful planning is essential to avoid (or minimize) delays in graduation as a result of participating in an Exchange or internship. Consult the Associate Chair in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the advisors at the McGill Engineering Student Center (MESC) to create a plan. For Exchange Programs, begin by consulting the following website: www.mcgill.ca/engineering/students/exchanges‐study‐away/outgoing

Please note that it can take a considerable amount of time (and multiple levels of approval) to select a university, and then register for courses. While selecting courses, it is important to account for course credits and contact hours. The latter are commonly calculated in terms of Accreditation Units (AUs). In many universities, courses satisfy the credit requirements but fall short of the equivalent number of AUs required at McGill University. Therefore, after returning from exchange, it may be necessary to take additional courses (usually in the form of Technical Complementary Courses) to make up for the shortfall in AUs. If you have participated in an Exchange Program, then please make sure to check your transcript on Minerva for any additional course requirements. The requirements are typically listed under “STUDENT HOLDS” (as “Eng Degree Requirement Warning”).

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

Problem/Issue Solution/ Explanation I am not following the recommended curriculum and course sequence.

Consult an Academic Advisor and try to get back in sequence. If not, there may be problems with pre‐requisites and time conflicts while registering for courses. In turn, this may lead to a delay in graduation. As an example, consider MECH 463: Mechanical Engineering Project. This course spans two semesters and can only be started in the Fall term. The pre‐requisites for MECH 463 include the following: CCOM 206 Communication in Engineering MECH 360 Principles of Manufacturing MECH 292 Design 1: Conceptual Design MECH 314 Dynamics of Mechanisms MECH 393 Design 2: Machine Element Design MIME 260 Mat. Sci. & Eng. Students who are missing even one pre‐requisite may have to delay graduation by a year.

I want Advanced Credits. For pre‐engineering (U0) courses, contact the McGill Engineering Student Center (MESC). For engineering courses (U1 and above), consult the Associate Chair in Mechanical Engineering.

Have I received any Advanced Credits?

Please check your transcript on Minerva. If an Advanced Credit has been granted, then it will appear on your transcript.

I am interested in transferring to the Honours Program.

Please consult the Honours Program Coordinator.

I cannot register for a course because it is capped or filled to capacity.

Most core courses are offered in both semester. Please attempt to rearrange your schedule to stay on track for graduation. For exceptional circumstances (for example, a course is needed to graduate during that semester), consult the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator in ENGMD 270.

I cannot register because there is a program restriction.

Some courses are reserved for students of a particular status (for example, U1 students cannot take a 400‐level course).

I want to take a core course but I have not completed a pre‐requisite.

Permission cannot be granted. No exceptions, even if the student has already taken and failed or deferred the pre‐requisite (“D", “F” "J" or "L").

I want to take a Technical Complementary Course, but I have not completed a pre‐requisite.

Contact the Course Instructor for permission. If permission is granted, then it will be possible to register for the course. For MECH courses, get the Course Authorization Form signed by the Course Instructor and then submit to the Undergraduate Student Affairs Coordinator in ENGMD 270. For non‐MECH courses, get the form must be signed by the Course Instructor, and then submit to the department offering the course.

I want to take an equivalent course for credit (either in a different department or at a different university).

This is not permitted (except for students taking part in an official and authorized Exchange Program).

I want to add a Minor or Concentration.

Please refer to the appropriate section in the online University Calendar. Subsequently, complete the Course Authorization Form, obtain all necessary signatures, and submit the form to the McGill Engineering Student Center (MESC). Note that special rules apply for taking a minor in Management3.
