Standards for Professional Behaviour

You are advised to read the Faculty of Engineering document Standards for Professional Behaviour (http://www.engr.uvic.ca/policy/professional-behaviour.html) which contains important information regarding conduct in courses, in labs and in the general use of facilities.

Cheating, plagiarism and other forms of academic fraud are taken very seriously by both the University and the Department. You should consult http://web.uvic.ca/calendar2005/FACS/UnIn/UARe/PoAcI.html the UVIc policy on academic integrity.
