Policies and Rules

• Students enrolled in CSE 4316 will be given full access to the lab when the teams begin their rapid prototype development, and will continue through CSE 4317. Prior access will be on a needs basis, and controlled by the lab assistant and/ or instructor.
• In addition to your "cse" account, each student will get an account on a www server to create a home page and progress reports.
• Each team will be given an account on a www server to create a home page for the team. All submitted documents must be on line.
• A computer system will be assigned to each team. Team members will be responsible for the software contents of their system (including viruses!).
• Only students in CSE 4316 (when granted access) and CSE 4317 may use the lab's computer systems, and then only for their project related effort.
• No utilities, application programs, or files of other teams should be deleted, except in the scratch subdirectory.
• No games of any sort may be played on, or loaded to the computers.
• Students are not allowed to open the system cover or change the hardware configuration of their machine without explicit permission from the instructor.
• During the first week of the semester the lab assistant will post his schedule on the bulletin board. He/she will be available during the specified periods to assist the students and checkout documents, tools, and equipment.
• No equipment may be removed from the lab without the explicit permission of the instructor or lab assistance.
• You must read your email frequently to stay in touch with your instructor.
• Students are expected to attend all classes. Four points will be deducted from students course average for each absence after the second. Points will not be deducted if you are absent because of a medical reason with university approved letter or if you get approval from the instructor one week ahead of time.

Students continuing into CSE 4317 will check out the needed tools/ equipment the beginning of the following semester, or special arrangements can be made for between semesters use. A hold on the course grade will be effected on all students who have not complied with these "sign- off" requirements.
• Students found violating any policies will suffer a decrease in their course grade.
