*This interpretation <strong>of</strong> the dishonest practice <strong>of</strong> collusion is not intended to<br />

discourage students from having discussions with each other about how to approach<br />

a particular assigned task, <strong>and</strong> incorporating general ideas coming out <strong>of</strong> such<br />

discussions into their own individual submissions.<br />

Under the <strong>University</strong> Regulations, evidence <strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong> these or other forms <strong>of</strong><br />

dishonest practice by any student(s) represents grounds for disciplinary action, <strong>and</strong><br />

may result in penalties ranging from denial <strong>of</strong> credit for the item <strong>of</strong> work in<br />

question to exclusion from the university.<br />

It is in everyone's best interest to encourage a pr<strong>of</strong>essional attitude towards study<br />

<strong>and</strong> learning in our <strong>Department</strong>. Violations <strong>of</strong> st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>of</strong> behaviour will be dealt<br />

with as prescribed by <strong>University</strong> disciplinary regulations.<br />

4.7 Computer <strong>Resources</strong><br />

Students have access to extensive computer facilities. The <strong>Department</strong> maintains a<br />

computing suite (60 PCs running Windows XP) situated at the south end <strong>of</strong> the<br />

second floor (Room 212). The Faculty provides two suites, the Glade <strong>and</strong> the<br />

Grotto, also on the second floor further to the east above the cafeteria <strong>and</strong> E6/E7.<br />

Any <strong>of</strong> the PCs in these three suites may be accessed using your usercode allocated<br />

at enrolment time (it is printed on your Enrolment fees invoice). You will retain this<br />

usercode for your entire career at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />

All PCs connect to a fileserver system called ENGCAD via the campus Network.<br />

This server-system is maintained by the Faculty <strong>of</strong> Engineering for the benefit <strong>of</strong><br />

the engineering departments.<br />

The <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Civil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> Engineering maintains specific<br />

teaching/engineering s<strong>of</strong>tware on the server so that it can be accessed from any PC<br />

on the network. General s<strong>of</strong>tware, such as spreadsheets <strong>and</strong> word processors, are<br />

also available. Students are allocated space on the server for storing their own files.<br />

This space appears as the J:-drive <strong>and</strong> is accessible from any PC on the network.<br />

Some classes are held in the computer suites <strong>and</strong> extensive use <strong>of</strong> the system is<br />

made for assignments in most subjects.<br />

Br<strong>and</strong>on Hutchison manages the <strong>Civil</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Natural</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> PC suite. His <strong>of</strong>fice is<br />

at the south end <strong>of</strong> the suite (E212d). The ENGCAD server system, <strong>and</strong> the Glade<br />

<strong>and</strong> Grotto, are managed by Joost (pronounced "Yoast") Stenfert Kroese, whose<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice overlooks the Glade. Apparent faults, logging-in problems, username<br />

inquiries etc should be directed to Br<strong>and</strong>on or Joost.<br />
