Introduction

There are two main websites: the lab manual (this site, manual.eg.poly.edu) and the course website (eg.poly.edu).

manual.eg.poly.edu

This website will cover academic matters for the course, such as grading policies, lab descriptions, writing guidelines, etc. You should add this site to your favorites since you'll be accessing it frequently.

eg.poly.edu

The main web site for the EG1003 course is eg.poly.edu. Here you will find the latest information and announcements regarding the course; submit lab reports, PowerPoint presentations and other necessary files; and post any comments or questions you may have. Announcements can be found on the main page and all the required and recommended downloads are located on the "Software Downloads" page; the link can be found under the "Help Center" section of the navigation panel on the left side of the page.

The Course Information section gives you an overview of the course as well as the different syllabi for each course section. In the Help Center section you will find useful downloads and the link to this manual. There is also a listing of the staff that delivers the course, with the ways you can reach them, listed under the Staff section. Finally, there is a work submission capability where you can submit work that you prepare.

Many of the functions of the site, such as electronic submission of work, require that you register on the site.
