About Mohawk College Mohawk College has grown to be one of the great Canadian community colleges. It began with the establishment of the Provincial Institute of Textiles (PIT) in 1947, which in turn became the Hamilton Institute of Technology (HIT) in 1957. Ten years later, in 1967, the HIT was incorporated as the newly established Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology. The College supports campuses and education locations in Hamilton and Stoney Creek. A great variety of full-time, post-secondary certificate and diploma programs together with a wide range of part-time courses and programs, leading to either a certificate or college diploma, are detailed on the College web site found at www.mohawkcollege.ca Many of the programs are co-operative in nature, offering students the opportunity to experience the real workplace environment and gain valuable on-the-job training. The college also has many partnerships in training and technology to make us more valuable to the

students and the community at large. Mohawk College serves the communities throughout Southern Ontario, offering over 100 full-time programs and more than 1,000 Continuing Education courses. There are currently 10,000 full-time post-secondary and 40,000 continuing education students enrolled at Mohawk College. Mohawk College is the largest in-school apprenticeship trainer in the province, with more than 3,000 apprentices registered in skilled trades programs. There are close to 800 full-time employees, including over 400 full-time faculty, and an alumni association of more than 72,000 members. There is also a 342 bed on-campus student residence. The Accessible Learning Services staff develops ways to eliminate barriers and facilitates access for students at all campuses who may have learning or physical disability, visual or hearing impairment, mobility impairment, or other disability. Student self-identification well in advance of course or program start-up is required to effectively evaluate, plan, co-ordinate, and implement support services.

Technician or Technologist

The difference between technicians and technologists is a difficult concept to describe. There are people who may be classified as technicians in the workplace but perform the work of a technologist, and the reverse also applies.

A technician is normally someone who is skilled in handling instruments and performs tasks that require specialized skills, training, and knowledge. Technicians will chose from several available methods to solve problems where measure variables are involved and information is readily obtainable. Technicians will use basic chemical, engineering, math, and biotechnology lab skills to collect and analyze different types of samples. They will troubleshoot instruments to locate and repair faulty components. Technicians will perform repetitive tasks and sometimes make specific and minor changes to existing methods.

A technologist goes beyond the repetitive application of process. Technologists deal more with abstract concepts that are not readily demonstrated, but proven by means of indirect measurement and inference. They deal with complex, integrated systems of equipment, structures and processes. Technologists will develop methods of sample and data collection and analysis, often leading to complex solutions. They troubleshoot problems and design improvements or alternative product applications. Technologists are adaptive individuals and look for new and better ways to apply current technologies to their jobs.

In more general terms, technologists will normally have more responsibility and decision-making in their jobs than technicians. As a consequence of this, the technologist requires more training and will normally have greater career opportunities and higher salary expectations.

Regardless of which program a student graduates from, success is largely dependent on the student, and goals that he/she sets for him/herself.

Pathways and Credit Transfers Of course we love it when students find Mohawk College right out of high school, know exactly what they want to study, have every pre-requisite for their programs, and then enrol, graduate and achieve fame and fortune in their chosen fields. But, in reality, it’s rarely such a straight line for students. We are here to help students understand the options available as they discover new interests and passions. Credit transfer agreements have been arranged to make it easier for students to move from Mohawk to another institution. Details may be viewed by program or by receiving institution. Visit the Pathways and Credit Transfer site at http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/pathways-credit-transfer.html

Program Standards and Learning Outcomes What does a Program Standard contain? Each program standard for a postsecondary program of instruction includes the following elements:

Vocational standards (the vocationally specific learning outcomes which apply to the programs in question),

Essential employability skills (skills that, regardless of a student’s program or discipline, are critical for success in the workplace, in day-to-day living, and for lifelong learning. The essential areas where graduates must demonstrate skills and knowledge: Communication, Numeracy, Critical Thinking & Problem Solving, Information Management, Interpersonal, and Personal) and

General education requirement (the requirements for General education courses that contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity and richness of the human experience; and, the society in which they live and work. Specific themes for general education courses to cover are: Arts in Society, Civic Life, Social and Cultural Understanding, Personal Understanding, and Science and Technology). Collectively, these elements outline the essential skills and knowledge that a student must acquire and be able to reliably demonstrate in order to graduate from the program.

The vocational and essential employability skills components of program standards are expressed in terms of learning outcomes. They are not simply a listing of discrete skills, or broad statements of knowledge and comprehension. Learning outcomes represent culminating demonstrations of learning and achievement.

Expressing standards in this way ensures consistency in the outcomes for program graduates while leaving to the discretion of the individual colleges such curriculum matters as specific program structure and delivery methods.

Program Standards are developed and published by the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development. More detailed information related to College Technology programs can be found at http://www.tcu.gov.on.ca/pepg/audiences/colleges/progstan/technology.html

Note: The learning outcomes have been numbered as a point of reference; numbering does not imply prioritization, sequencing, or weighting of significance. Program learning outcomes outline what Mohawk's graduates need to know and be able to do after they complete this program.

Initially, the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities (MTCU) developed most program learning outcomes in consultation with employers and educators. Now, they are reviewed and updated during program review, in consultation with employers, graduates, and current students.

Student Evaluation and Grading Mohawk College uses a credit value system that supports the calculation of a weighted grade point average. Courses are assigned a number of credits based on their total course hours and these credits are multiplied by the grade obtained in the course when calculating a grade point average. The College uses a percentage grading system of 1 to 100%, and the passing grade for most courses is 50%. Note that in order to pass any course in the department that has a lab component, the student must achieve a minimum of 50% in both the lab and lecture portion separately. Promotion to the next semester requires a weighted grade point average of 60% subject to the rules outlined in the Program Promotion and Graduation Requirements Policy AC700 (opens PDF, 96kb). An overall minimum weighted GPA of at least 60% is required to graduate. Where courses have been repeated, the highest course mark will be used in the calculation. A full explanation of the grading system can be found at:

http://www.mohawkcollege.ca/studentservices/recordsregistration/gradingEvaluation/grading-evaluation-system.html The Grading and Transcript Policy can be found at:

https://www.mohawkcollege.ca/sites/default/files/Corporate%20Policies%20and%20Procedures/Grading%20and%20Transcripts%20Policy.pdf

It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of various policies and procedures governing the School of Engineering Technology.

Departmental Procedures Chemical, Environmental and Biotechnology Attendance Policy

Students in the Chemical, Environmental & Biotechnology Department are expected to attend all scheduled lecture and laboratory sessions. Attendance policies and impact of attendance on grading vary by course. Refer to the course outline and/or eLearn for each lab and lecture course to determine specific policies for that course. Polices listed in the course outline and/or eLearn are binding and non-negotiable. Students must abide by these policies and lack of awareness is not a valid excuse for the violation of these policies. Lecture Attendance Attendance at all scheduled lectures is expected and highly recommended. Some courses have a lecture attendance evaluation component; most courses do take attendance during lecture sessions. It is the student’s responsibility to access all material covered if they miss a lecture. If attendance is part of the course evaluation, students will need to show appropriate documentation for their absence not to affect their grade. Laboratory Attendance Laboratory attendance is mandatory in all courses that contain a laboratory component. For some courses, successful completion of the course requires complete attendance. Absence from a laboratory requires appropriate documentation. Students missing a laboratory must notify their laboratory instructor immediately before the lab session. Once original (not photocopy) documentation has been established students are expected to make up a missed laboratory if at all possible. To successfully complete the laboratory component of a course, submission of all laboratory reports is required. Passing Requirement for Courses with an accompanying Lab Component To pass any course that has an accompanying lab component, the student must achieve a minimum of 50% in both the Laboratory portion and the Lecture portion separately. Policy for Writing of Tests 1. Each student is required to write tests at the time and place scheduled, unless alternative arrangements have been previously

agreed between the student and the professor to cover exceptional circumstances. Students with approved CAAP's must follow College Policy regarding accommodations and inform the professor of their requirements in good time for the arrangements to be made. Failure to comply will result in the requests being denied.

2. Students who become ill too close to the test time to make the above arrangements are required to do the following:

• Telephone the professor at the earliest opportunity. This contact should be made before the time of the test, and no later than the next working day if the test is held in the evening. Messages left on answering machines must include the date and time of the call, the student's name, class and number.

• Contact the professor as soon as possible after the illness. A doctor's note must be produced at this time.

3. Students who are prevented from attending due to last minute emergencies must contact the professor as described in the previous section. The professor will require details of the emergency situation.

4. Students who fail to appear to write a test without proceeding in accordance with the above will be considered "absentees". No

re-write privileges will be allowed in these cases, and the grade for that test will be zero. 5. Writing the test at an alternative time will be allowed if the professor is satisfied that the reason is genuine, and if the student has

correctly followed the above procedures. The arrangements are to be made between the professor and the student, and include the following conditions: • tests may be scheduled in the Testing Center A124 • the test questions may be changed; • the method of grading of the test may be changed; • the time, place and format of any re-scheduled test will be decided by the professor; • the same rules of attendance apply to the re-scheduled test as to the original test; • the decision of the professor in setting these conditions will be final.

6. The instructor reserves the right to weight the missed test onto the final exam instead of granting a rewrite of the missed test.

Student Rules of Conduct Examinations and Tests

In this document the term "test" is intended to include both "tests", “quizzes” and “examinations"; the term "invigilator" is meant to include any person authorized to supervise or conduct tests, that is, proctors, professors, support staff, etc.

1. Students must be aware of the College's policy on Academic Dishonesty. 2. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the place, starting time, and duration of all tests as well as the rules of

conduct, which govern them. 3. Only eligible students and authorized invigilators are allowed access to the testing facility. 4. Students must display their student identification cards in a conspicuous place on their test station. 5. Students without a valid student identification card will not be permitted to write a test. (This condition may be waived at the

invigilator's discretion.) 6. Students may be required to sign a test attendance record. 7. Invigilators are authorized to assign specific test stations to students. 8. Students are expected to arrive at the testing facility at least five (5) minutes before the scheduled start time of the test. 9. Students will not normally be permitted to enter the testing facility unless authorized to do so by the invigilator. 10. No materials and equipment, including cell phones, computers, calculators, may be taken into the testing facility except when

authorized by the invigilator and/or specified by the test paper. 11. It is the responsibility of the student to be aware of the type and nature of resources that are allowed inside the testing facility. 12. Invigilators are authorized to inspect all equipment and materials used inside a testing facility and, if deemed appropriate, reset

calculators. 13. Students who bring unauthorized resources into a testing facility, who assist other students, who obtain assistance from other

students or any other unauthorized source, may not be permitted to complete the test. They may also be subject to further disciplinary action under the College's Academic Dishonesty Policy.

14. During test, students must not communicate with one another in any way. 15. Students will not be permitted access to a testing facility if a) the test has been in progress for more than thirty (30) minutes, or b),

if one or more students have already left the testing facility. (Under special circumstances, the invigilator may waive this condition).

16. Students are not permitted to leave the testing facility during the first thirty (30) minutes of a test. If students are late for a test, they must complete their test in the remaining designated time, unless the invigilator authorizes an extension.

17. In cases of emergency, an invigilator must accompany students leaving and returning to a testing facility, unless he/she waives this requirement.

18. Students must enter and leave a testing facility QUIETLY. 19. After leaving the testing facility, students must not remain in the immediate vicinity of the exit. 20. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that he or she has received the correct test paper and that the document contains the

correct number of pages and questions. Students must follow all instructions as contained in the test paper. The invigilator, if necessary, will communicate any changes to such instructions.

21. At the conclusion of a test, all testing activity must cease. If this requirement is not observed, the invigilator may refuse to accept a student's test paper. A student must ensure that all test materials to be graded are, in fact, submitted at the end of the test and contain the student's name. An examiner is under no obligation to accept or grade test materials that a student has removed without authorization from the testing facility.

22. Alternative Testing Services provide disabled students with the opportunity to meet regular academic requirements while preserving the integrity of the testing process. Disability Services is governed by regular college policies and the Alternative Testing Service will operate in accordance with the Faculty's Rules of Conduct policy for testing, and the College's Academic Dishonesty policy. Students with disabilities are required to identify themselves to the Disability Office where the Special Needs Consultant will recommend alternative testing arrangements, where appropriate. Please refer to the alternative Test/Examination procedure for students with disabilities (available through Student Services).

23. The Associate Dean, Faculty and Support Staff of the Department of Chemical, Environmental & Bio-Technology are committed to providing a safe and healthy laboratory learning environment for students, faculty and support staff. All levels of the Department of Chemical, Environmental & Bio-Technology (including students) actively support and participate in their functions related to the health and safety of both fellow employees and students.

24. Experimental work in Chemical, Environmental & Bio-Technology laboratories is designed to minimize the risk of accidents and health hazards. However, the handling of chemicals, molten metals, glassware, grinders and other equipment in the laboratories inevitably poses some potential hazards, especially in the event of the accidental spillage, breakage, etc. Since such accidents cannot be foreseen, it is important that students protect themselves from the consequences. The basis of all safe actions in a
