 Evaluation

• Labs 29%
• Midterm 1 20%
• Midterm 2 20%
• Final Exam 30%
• WHMIS 1%

• you must complete a WHMIS online certification by the end

of January, otherwise will receive an incomplete for the
course

 WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System)

• Every new student will be automatically enrolled in WHMIS

training course. The courses is available under “My Courses”
in the Learning Hub.
• If you have been WHMIS trained elsewhere within the last
two years, scan and email a copy of your card. Otherwise, you
need to complete the online course and send me your
certificate of training.

Labs

• Students spend two hours per week in the shops,

where they gain hands-on experience with common
manufacturing processes.

•All labs start next week!

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 9
Lab Sets

• Due to shop capacity, students will not complete all the shop
sections in the same sequence.
• Each set will be divided into two subsets, ‘X’ and ‘Y’ of 10
students or less each.
• During any given week, the subset ‘X’ group will be doing
something different from the matching ‘Y’ group.
• Each set will be on a different rotation schedule.

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 10

Lab Sets

• Sets have been divided into X and Y subsets. Check your

LearningHub to find your X/Y subset, labs, times and locations.

• If your name does not appear on the list of subsets, send me an email
with your name, ID and set and I will issue you with an X or Y

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 11

IGNORE YOUR TIMETABLE for 1210 labs!
Scheduling Conflicts

• if the selection of X or Y is suboptimal find someone in the opposite

subgroup and agree to switch. Cannot have more than 10 students per set.

• the two of you together must present your proposal to a lab instructor, or
myself, to have the records altered.

• all other issues, please email me asap

Lab Rotation

Note that you will be on an 8 week rotation:

• After 8 weeks (Spring Break) you will be swapping

time slots with the other half of your set.

• If it happens to be a different time and day, be careful

making plans for your ‘free’ time until you are clear
how this works in your instance.

•Lab and time slot will post on D2L later this week.

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 18

 Attendance

This is a course in manufacturing methods.

Much of the learning is accomplished in the labs.
Therefore:

Students must attend and satisfactorily

complete all lab work, including
reports where required.

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 19

 Lab General Safety Rules

• Eye protection must be worn:

suggest you purchase a pair of safety
glasses you can live with and wear
for extended periods.

• Approved safety footwear (CSA

“green triangle”), must be worn in
the shop. Students will not be
allowed to use the shops without
approved footwear.

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 20

 Lab General Safety Rules

• Students may not use shop tools and equipment unless an instructor is present and
has given permission. While in the shops, students must obey the instructions of any
instructor.

• Long hair and dangling clothing / jewellery (loose sleeves, etc.) is not acceptable
in most labs. Be prepared to correct the situation (hairnets, etc)

• Do not operate any piece of equipment unless you have received instruction and
are confident in what you are doing.

• Don’t wear shorts. You may want to purchase a lab coat or coveralls

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 21

 Lab Etiquette

• zero horseplay!
• clean your work area thoroughly after you complete your lab
• listen carefully to the instruction when working in the labs: take notes,
ask questions. And remember, you are working with very experienced,
and credentialed individuals, picked specifically to teach manufacturing
processes.
• return each tool to where you have borrowed from.
• show up on time, and ready to learn

Textbook

• We follow the book quite closely (ie: worth buying) see lesson schedule.

• Also, a good reference book in your working career.

• If you buy it and don’t want to keep it, sell it next year

• previous years’ versions OK, some updates, ie additive manufacturing

(rapid prototyping)

• if you buy used, it may have included a CD or internet access key

Succeeding in Mech 1210
• This course is very concept and terminology focused; very little math

• This course does not involve any direct homework assignments, but you are
strongly advised to review your lecture notes each day!

• Most individual labs, however, do require a written report (individually

written) to be submitted one week after completion of the lab. Follow AI
instructions.

2024-01-06 Lee McClelland MECH 1210 32

Before next week!

• Make sure you know which lab subset you are in, and when
and where your lab takes place next week

• Make sure you have safety glasses and CSA approved “green
triangle” footwear. If you show up to your lab without them
you will not be admitted.
