Class AttendanceClass Attendance

Attendance is expected at any and all scheduled activities: class, lab, team meetings, etc. It is a part of your gradeIt is a part of your grade.

Experience shows that grades are directly related to class attendance.

It’s better to come to class late than miss the class altogether.

N.B. - If you don’t come to class, you can’t participate in the learning process. Do you get to skip work when you don’t want to

go?

Engineering NotebookEngineering Notebook You are required to maintain an Engineering

Notebook (ENB) throughout the project. Your records are an integral part of your

project, therefore it will be used as a component of your grade on Individual your grade on Individual deliverablesdeliverables. Good record keeping is necessary for process

improvement, and process improvement is necessary to be a good engineer/developer.

Your notebook should be brought with youbrought with you to all lab/class sessions. Notebooks are subject to inspection and gradinginspection and grading

by the GTA/Instructor at any time, without notice.

Team leader will be asked to review occasionally

Divided into teams for various projects (products) Each team has a team lead

We use a proven, phased development processYou develop and get approval for the roadmap

to deliver your product on time Weekly “staff” meetings to review project

status/progress (generally, Friday lab period)Failure of one team => failure of company

Learn to depend on and help your peers

How We’re Going to Do ThingsHow We’re Going to Do Things I am the “boss” (development manager)

I will mentor you & help you learn how to do your job

I will approve your plans I will approve your project expenses I am available for consultation anytime I’m

availableNote: I will take trips, attend off-site meetings, etc., but

the projects must continue... don’t delay critical work I believe every question is worth answering I don’t do your work for you I don’t do your research for you I don’t know everything about anything I expect you to do your job, and will measure you

on how well you do it

Work LoadWork Load You have roughly 5-6 months of calendar 5-6 months of calendar

working timeworking time for your project. That’s, at most, 500 man-hours per team member A 5 person team has 2500 man-hours to complete the

project (4 people => 2000 man-hours)Equivalent of about one man-year, or 5-6 K delivered

lines of source code by typical metrics Don’t pad your schedule trying to make it easy on yourself

Expect to spend 10-15 hours every week outside of the classroomoutside of the classroom on the project Failure to expend the required time will result in failure to

complete the project (with a similar effect on your course grade)
