Patankar, Hemisphere Publishing Co., New York,1980.OPTIONAL COURSE READINGSComputational Fluid Dynamics, John Anderson, McGraw-Hill, New York, 1995.An Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics: The Finite Volume Method, H. Versteeg and W.Malalasekera, Pearson, London, UK, 2007.CHEATING, PLAGIARISM/ACADEMIC OFFENCESAcademic integrity is an essential component of learning activities. Students must have a clearunderstanding of the course activities in which they are expected to work alone (and what workingalone implies) and the activities in which they can collaborate or seek help; see information aboveand ask instructor for clarification if needed. Any unauthorized forms of help-seeking orcollaboration will be considered an academic offense. University policy states that cheating is anacademic offence. If you are caught cheating, there will be no second warning. Students must write
their essays and assignments in their own words. Whenever students take an idea or a passage oftext from another author, they must acknowledge their debt both by using quotation marks whereappropriate and by proper referencing such as footnotes or citations. Plagiarism is a major academicoffence. Academic offences are taken seriously and attended by academic penalties which mayinclude expulsion from the program. Students are directed to read the appropriate policy,specifically, the definition of what constitutes a Scholastic Offence at the following website:https://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic policies/appeals/scholastic discipline grad.pdfAll required papers may be subject to submission for textual similarity review to the commercialplagiarism-detection software under license to the University for the detection of plagiarism. Allpapers submitted for such checking will be included as source documents in the reference databasefor the purpose of detecting plagiarism of papers subsequently submitted to the system. Use of theservice is subject to the licensing agreement, currently between The University of Western Ontarioand Turnitin.com (http://www.turnitin.com).CONDUCTStudents are expected to follow proper etiquette to maintain an appropriate and respectful academicenvironment. Any student who, in the opinion of the instructor, is not appropriately participating incourse activities and/or is not following the rules and responsibilities associated with the courseactivities, will be reported to the Associate Dean (Graduate) (after due warning has been given). Onthe recommendation of the Department concerned, and with the permission of the Associate Dean(Graduate), the student could be debarred from completing the assessment activities in the course asappropriate.HEALTH/WELLNESSAs part of a successful graduate student experience at Western, we encourage students to maketheir health and wellness a priority. Western provides several health and wellness related servicesto help you achieve optimum health and engage in healthy living while pursuing your graduatedegree. Information regarding health- and wellness-related services available to students may befound at http://www.health.uwo.ca/.Students seeking help regarding mental health concerns are advised to speak to someone they feelcomfortable confiding in, such as their faculty supervisor, their program director (graduate chair),or other relevant administrators in their unit. Faculty of Engineering has a Student WellnessCounsellor. To schedule an appointment with the counsellor, contact Kristen Edwards(khunt29@uwo.ca) via confidential email and you will be contacted by our intake office within 48hours to schedule an appointment.Students who are in emotional/mental distress should refer to Mental th/ for a complete list of options about how to obtain help.SICKNESSStudents should immediately consult with the Instructor (for a particular course) or Associate Chair(Graduate) (for a range of courses) if they have problems that could affect their performance. Thestudent should seek advice from the Instructor or Associate Chair (Graduate) regarding how best todeal with the problem. Failure to notify the Instructor or the Associate Chair (Graduate) immediately
(or as soon as possible thereafter) will have a negative effect on any appeal. Obtaining appropriatedocumentation (e.g., a note from the doctor) is valuable when asking for accommodation due toillness.Students who are not able to meet certain academic responsibilities due to medical, compassionateor other legitimate reason(s), could request for academic consideration. The Graduate AcademicAccommodation Policy and Procedure details are available ESSIBLE EDUCATION WESTERN (AEW)Western is committed to achieving barrier-free accessibility for all its members, including graduatestudents. As part of this commitment, Western provides a variety of services devoted to promoting,advocating, and accommodating persons with disabilities in their respective graduate program.Graduate students with disabilities (for example, chronic illnesses, mental health conditions,mobility impairments) are strongly encouraged to register with Accessible Education Western(AEW): http://academicsupport.uwo.ca/accessible education/index.htmlAEW is a confidential service designed to support graduate and undergraduate students through theiracademic program. With the appropriate documentation, the student will work with both AEW andtheir graduate programs (normally their Graduate Chair and/or Course instructor) to ensure thatappropriate academic accommodations to program requirements are arranged. Theseaccommodations include individual counselling, alternative formatted literature, accessible campustransportation, learning strategy instruction, writing exams and assistive technology instruction.
