Submission of Laboratory Reports
Laboratory reports should be submitted on time as prescribed on a specific date of deadline of submission by the instructor. Five points will be deducted
per day for late submission for GROUP (LFF) report while One point will be deducted per day for late submission for INVIDUAL (ONLINE) report. At
the end of the semester, the student must submit all the laboratory reports otherwise, the student will receive an INC (Incomplete) mark even if the

mechanical engineering activities,
relevant information and ideas with the
engineering community and with the

h) Ability to articulate on the effects and
impact of mechanical engineering
solutions on the environment and the
society in a comprehensive context.
i) Recognition of the need for, and engage
in lifelong learning.
Cooperative Learning: The goal is to have everyone learn more than they would have working alone. Nevertheless, individual work provides the
foundation for productive and synergistic group work. Teams will be formed, with three or four students per team. These will be used in two ways. First,
in-class discussion and reporting on assignments will be by group (whenever possible). Second, problem set assignments will be group activities but
the submission of assignment outputs will be done individually. Presentation of output will be done on a rotation basis. All students will evaluate
themselves and their fellow group members with respect to contributions to group function at least twice during the semester. This evaluation will
contribute to the class standing portion of the course grade and will be used primarily in deciding borderline grades.
Academic honesty policy: It is a part of your education to learn responsibility and self-discipline, particularly with regards to academic honesty. The
most important issue of academic honesty is cheating. Cheating is defined to include any attempt to defraud, deceive, or mislead the instructor in
arriving at an honest grade assessment. Plagiarism is a form of cheating that involves presenting as one's own work the ideas or work of another.
All portions of any test, project, or final exam submitted by you for a grade must be your own work, unless you are instructed to work collaboratively.
Specific requirements will be described for collaborative projects, but all work presented must be the work of members of that group. Research
materials used must be properly cited. Cheating in a major course examination by a student will entail a failing mark of F for the given course. Cheating,
dishonesty or plagiarism in papers and other works will entail a zero (0) score for the said requirement. Policies have been established by Xavier
University to insure due process in charges of cheating or plagiarism. A copy of these procedures can be found in the Student Handbook.
