Empathy for the Facilitator

• My goal is to help you be successful. Most of the time I will be running all over the lab helping your peers with challenging engagements. I can’t help them if I am dealing with your poor behavior choices.

• Demonstrate integrity, be responsible with the equipment, seek knowledge, and we will get along fine.

Have the Strength to Push Yourself

• Challenge yourself with difficult engagements and demanding goals

• Work to figure things out on your own• Do what you need to do to get engagements

The equipment belongs to all of us

Please have empathy for other users.

Be responsibleClean up after yourselves. Put models and kits away how you found them (or better).

Please leave wires and dials alone unless adjusting them is part of your engagement.

If you must adjust dials,

make sure they are left in

appropriate positions when you leave the

lab.

Be careful with the monitors and mouse pads.

Clean up after yourselves--- take care of your workplace.
