GENG2140 Modelling and Computing Analysis for Engineers

Semester 2, 2009

Tutorial Instructions

• There are no labs in week 1
• During week one you need to use OCLR to register for lab times. You need to register for three hours: T1, T2 and T3. You will need to choose classes appropriate for your BE programme. See below.
• You will attend the three labs each week from week 2 until week 13.
• In weeks 2 and 3 there will be unassessed lab sheets on Matlab and Excel provided by the School of Computer Science and Software Engineering.
• In weeks 4-13 you will work on assignments provided by the other three Engineering Schools.

When you are login to OLCR for the GENG2140 unit, you should see a number of tables for you to enter your preferences. You don't need to enter any preferences for the Lecture_L1, Lecture_L2, and Lecture_L3 tables.

• If you are a Civil Engineering student, then you should follow the instructions on OLCR and select your preferences for the Tutorial_T1_CIVL, Tutorial_T2_CIVL, and Tutorial_T3_CIVL tables only.
• If you are an Electrical & Electronic Engineering student, then you should follow the instructions on OLCR and select your preferences for the Tutorial_T1_ELEC, Tutorial_T2_ELEC, and Tutorial_T3_ELEC tables only.
• If you are a Mechanical & Engineering student, then you should follow the instructions on OLCR and select your preferences for the Tutorial_T1_MECH, Tutorial_T2_MECH, and Tutorial_T3_MECH tables only.

ALSO IN WEEK 3, students, please learn how to log in and use the following ...

CSEntry, CSForum, CSSubmit etc

• You will need to firstly activate your CSSE account. For more information about how to activate your CSSE account, click here.
• Visit the URL  https://secure.csse.uwa.edu.au/run/csentry
and click the "login" link near the top right-hand corner. You will be required to enter an account name and password to gain access:
• if you DO have a CSSE computer account, enter your account name and its Linux password.
• if you DO NOT yet have a CSSE computer account, then you should activate your CSSE account (see above).
• Using your CSSE account, you will be able to visit a number of links, including cssubmit, csmarks, and the GENG2140 discussion forum (also known as the help2140 page) at: https://secure.csse.uwa.edu.au/run/help2140
  (While it is not necessary to be logged in to read the forum, you will need to login to post new articles and replies.)
  At any time you may logout from the web-based programs using the "logout" link near the top right-hand corner.
  You can use help2140 to discuss the course material with your classmates.
  
• You will be required to use cssubmit to submit electronic versions of your assigments later in the unit. In order to submit your assignments to cssubmit, you will need to firstly logon to csentry (or cssubmit) by clicking the "login" link.
• You will be able to view your assignment marks (for the programming components only) on the csmarks page. Again, you will need to logon to csentry (or csmarks).
• IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT cssubmit

Getting ready to use Lab machines

• School of EE: PC lab with Windows XP.
• School of Mech. Eng.: In order to login to our lab computers, the user must have a MECHENG or LABMECH account. Enrolled students will have a LABMECH account automatically created for them, but they must activate the account before being able to login. Students may activate their account at http://www.mech.uwa.edu.au/activate/ or by presenting their student card at the Mech front office. Accounts are valid for the whole year.
  Matlab can be started from the Start Menu after logging in: Start -> Programs -> Matlab
• School of Civil Eng.: All civil students should have an account set up (room A207 in Civil and Mechanical Building). Their civil lab accounts will be in the following format:
  
      Username: Your UWA assigned username (eg the smithp01 one)
      Password: Your student number
      Login domain: LAB
  Students will be asked to change the password at the first logon. The new password must be 8 characters or longer.
  More info about the Civil Engineering lab can be found at: http://www.civil.uwa.edu.au/for/students/undergraduate/computer_lab
  Note that CIVIL students in any group 1-3 lab will have to have their laptop with them and will work on that via wireless. More detailed instructions will be posted here soon.
