Tutorials & Assignments


Tutorial Room A Thursday 9:00-12:00 RS303
Tutorial Room B Thursday 9:00-12:00 SF1012
The class is divided into two equal-sized tutorial sections (TUT01 & TUT02), with each section having
tutorials on alternate weeks. Please check which tutorial group you are enrolled in and see Quercus for
the detailed tutorial schedule for your section.
The tutorials for this course will include MATLAB instruction relevant to the programming required for your
assignments and projects. Be sure to attend them in order to familiarize yourself with the programming
language. TAs will be present to answer questions regarding the assignments and projects.
Assignments will be posted on Quercus. Additional guidelines for your hand-in will be posted along with
the first assignment. Assignment submissions will be done through the drop boxes in the Rosebrugh
building unless stated otherwise. Returned assignments will be provided by the head TA at times and
rooms that will be posted on Quercus. Students may only pick up assignments for themselves.
There will also be MATLAB based projects requiring a more in-depth application of the algorithms taught
in the course. These projects are expected to be completed concurrently with the other assignments.
Further details will be provided at a later date in lectures, tutorials, and on Quercus.

Safety
As professional engineers in training, you have a duty of responsibility to ensure that safety is duly
considered at all times. To this end, you are expected to behave with your personal safety and the safety
of others in mind. In order to be allowed access to any undergraduate labs, including computer labs, it is
mandatory that you complete the MIE online health and safety training course. Instructions for the
completion of safety training requirements have been sent in an e-mail to all students. Safety training can
also be accessed at: https://safetytraining.engineering.utoronto.ca/
