Engineering students are expected to have a firm foundation in the fundamentals of using computers. Recognizing that students' backgrounds may vary widely, the Faculty offers workshops from time to time, directed particularly towards students in Term 1 and 2. Attendance at workshops is voluntary; it is each individual student's responsibility to ascertain whether or not they require the material on offer. Once a workshop has been given, however, it will be assumed all students have a competence in the material taught.
