Announcements (previous ones)

  • Since you are doing all the work this week preparing for the SDL presentation, I've got time to finish grading the midterms: only two more questions to grade.


For the HAZOP study: please investigate only one unit, 2 nodes, 3 parameters per node, and 3 guide words.


  • A lot of positive comments regarding Monday's troubleshooting exercise. I'm glad that most of you found it a useful learning tool and in future years I will have 2 tutorials on this topic. Don't worry about the grading too much on this one; we recognize this is your first attempt at troubleshooting, and it was especially hard for the first troubleshooter in the triad. Remember what you learned today (i.e. what you wrote in the evaluation) and try to apply it in the final exam: I want to and I can!


  • More information added:: For the SDL project presentations: a good rule of thumb for presenters is that you talk about a slide for about 1.5 to 3 minutes. That implies you need 5 to 7 slides for the 10 minutes of talking, and 1 or 2 extra for the class activity: so a total of about 8 slides. There are very few exceptions to this guideline, so please don't generate a lot of slide material: this is one case where "less is more". Another point is on font size. If you cannot read your slide when standing 2 meters away from your computer monitor, then the letters are too small.


  • Note regarding the last class: the last class for 4N4 is on Monday, 03 December, at 10:00 in JHE 342 (tutorial time slot). There was no other way to schedule this given the large number of groups presenting. Group A1 will present the last SDL report, then I will talk about the final exam. The class will be video recorded for those that cannot make it to the tutorial time. I will also answer any questions by email for those that can't make it.


  • One final hand-in is due for this course, other than your project: it is a course reflection. Due any time between now and 03 December. Please fill in this electronic form for your reflection. This form covers 3 areas:
