WELCOME TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED
SCIENCE
Congratulations on achieving your place at the University of Bath where
we are committed to providing a high quality education for around nine
thousand students. The University has developed a distinctive style over
its thirty-five year life having built an impressive and well-recognised
reputation for the excellence of its teaching and of its research.
In 2000, this relatively small Department launched a series of Sports
Engineering/Technology related degrees that have proved to be very successful
and much enjoyed by the students. I believe that our students feel at
home with the intimacy and informality of our small Department and hope
that you will benefit from this and still enjoy the wide range of experiences
that student life offers. This year we welcome our first Medical Engineering
students. Whilst the Department shares this degree programme with the
Department of Mechanical Engineering its undergraduates will be largely
based within this Department for the first two years.
Over this summer we have been refurbishing room 4.20 in Building 3 West
so that it can be used for most of the lectures, design work and some
laboratory experiments and we hope you find this facility to be very convenient
for you.
We trust that any questions you may have about your programmes and/or
the Department will be answered in the following pages of this handbook.
Should you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Engineering degrees need lots of hard work and study but the rewards
are there at the end. I wish you all every success with your studies.

3 STAFF/STUDENT RELATIONS
3. 1 Personal tutor
Every student is assigned to a personal tutor who is concerned with
both pastoral care and academic progress. The tutor acts as your personal,
official link with the University and as someone with whom you can discuss
any problem that has arisen, be it academic, financial or personal.
Your tutor will often be able to give advice, or may suggest that you
see another member of staff, such as the Student Counsellor, Director
of Studies, Year Tutors or convenor of a particular programme. A list
of useful contacts is provided in 2.7 above.
You may, of course, meet your tutor for a private talk any time by
arrangement, but you will normally meet for tutorials on a weekly basis,
in a group of four or five students. These tutorials form an important
part of the programme and you are expected to attend them. If you are
occasionally unable to attend a tutorial, you MUST endeavour to send
an apology to your tutor by telephone or e-mail, beforehand. Messages
can also be left with the Department Office, 01225 386447 or 386196
(e-mail: eas-admin@bath.ac.uk
)
3.2 Department Office
The Department Office, 3W2.8, forms an information
centre for all programmes and is staffed by:
Mrs Pam Carruthers and Miss
Angela Harrington, Department Secretaries and
Mrs Ann Marsland-Shaw, Department Administrator,
whose office is 3W2.6B, off the Department Office.
The Foyer of 3 West Level 2 houses the official noticeboards where
important notices relating to the programmes are displayed. Close by
are students' pigeonholes where mail, notes from tutors etc. are put.
You should check the noticeboard and your pigeonhole daily - it is via
these and e-mail that timetable changes and urgent messages are communicated.
You will be asked from time to time to put work in staff
pigeonholes. These are located in 3W2.20B
- a room at the end of the Department Office 3W2.8. There is also a
secure box into which students may be required to post their work.
The university computer network provides a further important communication
channel. You will be given an electronic mail address. This provides
a convenient and rapid means of communication, so you should also check
your e-mail daily and the P.C. Room on Level 4 can be used for this
exercise. This is the main means of communications between the Department
and students.
There is an Engineering and Applied Science web site on the Internet.
It can be accessed via the University Home Page - Academic Departments
- Engineering and Applied Science or directly, via the following address
http://www.bath.ac.uk/eng-app-sci/.
Under "Intranet" on the Engineering and Applied Science home
page can be found lists of programmes, core and optional unit choices,
time-tables and, in some cases, programme notes. This can be accessed
directly, via the following address http://internal.bath.ac.uk/eng-app-sci/courseinfo/.
3.3 Director of Undergraduate Studies
Director of Studies for Medical Engineering
Dr James Cunningham
The Director of Studies is responsible for both the organisational
aspects of each year's undergraduate programme and the content of the
programme.
Sports Engineering and Sports Technology
Year I Tutor Dr
Jeff Vogwell
Year II, Year III
Tutor Dr Martin Ansell
The Year Tutors have responsibility for the organisational aspects
of each year's undergraduate programme, and the content of the programmes
through the Department's Curriculum Committee.
3.4 Student Representation
In addition to the representation of students' interests on University
decision-making bodies by Officers of the Students' Union, there are
opportunities for students in departments to act as representatives
on various Department, Faculty and University committees. Each Department
has a Student Representation Officer who can advise on the various opportunities
and responsibilities. The Student Representation Officer for this Department
is elected annually. It is important to remember that any student elected
by fellow students should endeavour to represent their views and provide
feedback following meetings.
Each Department of the University has at least one Department Staff
Student Liaison Committee (abbreviated as SSLC, http://internal.bath.ac.uk/eng-app-sci/sslc/constit2003.doc
), with eight or more elected student members, and an equal or smaller
number of staff members.
Four student representatives from across the Faculty (including at least
one undergraduate and one postgraduate) are nominated to sit on the
Faculty Board of Studies (http://www.bath.ac.uk/engineering/committees.bho/bos.htm).
Elected Department Student Academic Representatives also sit on the
Academic Council of the Students' Union, which meets regularly to ensure
that the Union's Officers and individual representatives are kept informed
of developments throughout the University, and to discuss common problems
and interests affecting different Departments. The Students' Union runs
a comprehensive training programme for all student representatives (SORTED:
'Students, Officers and Representatives - Training, Education and Development'
programme - see www.bathstudent.com
).
The existence of the formal system of student representation does not
mean that you should feel this is the only channel open to you. You
may of course raise issues directly with a lecturer, your personal tutor
or the year tutor. Individual problems are often likely to be more easily
and swiftly resolved in this way.
Student representatives (also referred to as Academic Representatives)
are elected to represent their fellow students. You should feel free
to approach them at any time. Usually, whoever represents your year
or degree scheme on the Department SSLC will be the first person to
contact. The Department SSLC noticeboard, where details of the Student
Representatives and minutes of meetings are displayed, is located in
the foyer of Building 3 West, Level 2.
3.5 Staff Student Liaison Committee (SSLC)
The Staff/Student Liaison Committee provides an interface between students
and staff. Topics covered within the SSLC include: academic issues in
relation to programme content, delivery and facilities; staff/student
relations in the Department; social interaction; quality matters; and
any other matters pertaining to the welfare and spirit of students in
the Department.
The Committee consists of the following members:
- Head of Department and Year Tutors and the Director of Undergraduate
Studies for Medical Engineering are ex officio.
- One member of academic staff elected by the members of Academic
Staff who shall serve for two years.
- One graduate student and one student from each year of BEng/MEng
Sports Engineering, BSc Sports Technology, BEng/MEng Medical Engineering.
The graduate student will act as Chair of the Committee while the Committee
will elect its Secretary to the Committee from the student members,
normally at the first meeting of each academic year. Both Chair and
Secretary serve for that academic year and the Committee will meet at
least twice a semester.
Any member unable to attend a meeting should nominate a deputy from
their course year to attend provided the Chair is informed in advance.
The Committee is not intended as a channel for dealing with the problems
of individual students - the personal tutor concerned should handle
these. It is important that the student-elected members represent honestly
the general feeling of the class and that they bring any issues quickly
to the notice of the staff member and the Chair.
Minutes of the SSLC are displayed on the Notice Board in the 3West
Level 2 Foyer and on the Department's homepages (http://www.bath.ac.uk/eng-app-sci/intranet.bpo/SSLC/sslc.html
).
3.6 BEAST
BEAST (Bath Engineering
and Applied Science Together - http://internal.bath.ac.uk/eng-app-sci/beast/beast.htm
) is the Department's student society, which organises social events
throughout the year for both staff and students and membership is by
subscription. At the beginning of the academic year, students elect
a Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Social Secretary - all of these posts
can be shared. The Society organises, with the help of the Department
Office, the Annual Dinner held during the second semester. The Society
is run in accordance with the Students Union guideline for University
Societies.
3.7 Student Feedback
The University requires all Departments to have a formal system through
which students are invited to comment routinely, in confidence, upon
the teaching they have received. This helps us to check that students
have a clear idea of our aims in teaching particular units, and of what
we expect them to do; that our classroom teaching is effective and stimulating;
that our advice and feedback to students on individual work is helpful;
and that our resources are adequate.
Questionnaires are the primary mechanism for this formal 'feedback'.
You will be asked to complete a questionnaire for each unit you are
taught. We appreciate that they can be tiresome to complete in large
numbers, but hope that you will take the time to give a full and detailed
response. Both negative and positive feedback is important. In order
to be able to assess the feedback and to attempt to take appropriate
action it is important that when making comments you indicate why you
feel that something is good or bad, not just that you think it is.
Each lecturer responsible for a unit will prepare a short report analysing
the questionnaire returns, highlighting any criticisms or suggestions.
The report and the questionnaires for each unit will then be passed
on to the Year Tutor, who will present the reports to a Staff Student
Liaison Committee. The reports will also be discussed at appropriate
meetings of staff within the department so that appropriate action can
be taken. A summary of the student feedback and the action taken will
be included in the Year Tutor Annual Report, which is presented to the
Faculty Board of Studies.
3.8 Careers Advice
The Univesity Careers Advisory Service (WH2.2) offers a full range
of career advice services, including aptitude testing, help with writing
your curriculum vitae and training for interviews, as well as notification
of vacancies. The web site address is: http://www.bath.ac.uk/careers/.
3.9 Student Welfare
The University's Head of Student Services,
(4W3.4A) is responsible for co-ordinating
student welfare, support and recreational services. Close contact is
maintained with the Students' Union and Student Academic Representatives.
The full range of services provided by the University and the Students'
Union are detailed in the Guide to Student Support Services, which is
distributed to new students at the start of the academic year (ask in
the Department Office if you have not received one). Other sources of
information distributed at the beginning of the academic year are: Getting
Started at the University of Bath (also available from the Admission
Office, WH2.12) and Bath University Students' Union Guide (available
from the Students' Union, NH3.9). The University International
Office provides social programmes and advice for overseas students.
There is also a lot of information available via the University's web
pages. You may like to take a look at the following:

3.10 Complaints
The University seeks to minimise student complaints and grievances
by ensuring that students have opportunities to participate in all the
formal decision-making processes of the institution through representation
on committees at programme, Department and institutional levels. The
University is committed to the continuing review and improvement of
its provision and seeks regular feedback from students through Staff/Student
Liaison Committees, evaluation questionnaires and user groups. The University
is also committed to providing an environment within which students
are encouraged to raise any matters of concern in an informal manner
as soon as they arise. This often circumvents the need for formal complaints
or grievances.
Where complaints and grievances arise, there are procedures to ensure
that these are addressed fairly and promptly and that students can lodge
their complaints and grievances, in good faith, with the assurance that
they will not be penalised for so doing. Students who wish to raise
formal complaints or grievances should seek further advice from the
Department and/or the Students' Union (see also QA39, Procedures for
Student Complaint, http://internal.bath.ac.uk/quality/qa39.pdf
PDF format - requires Acrobat Reader to view). There are also separate
procedures for requesting an academic review of a decision relating
to a failed unit or part of degree or the failure to be able to progress
to the next part of a degree (see Procedures for the Review of a Board
of Studies Decision).
3.11 Harassment
The University has an Equal Opportunities Policy, which includes a
detailed statement on harassment, and has established a network of Anti-Harassment
Advisors. No form of harassment should be tolerated and if you feel
that you need support or mediation please approach any of the Network
Advisors Team for information and advice. Details are displayed around
the University and on the web at:
http://internal.bath.ac.uk/anti-harass/policy/
For a full copy of the Equal Opportunities Policy Statement or information
on the network contact the Personnel Officer, Marlene
Bertrand, ext. 3098, e-mail: M.A.Bertrand@bath.ac.uk
(the University's Equal Opportunities Policy for students can be found

or the Students'
Union AWARE which is situated in 1 East Level
3 - you can find them either by going through the door next to
the pool tables in the Plug Bar or walking up the spiral staircase in
front of the library, turning left and following the corridor around
through the double doors. Failing that, AWARE can be contacted on 01225
38(6906) or e-mail aware@bath.ac.uk.
3.12 Learning Support (http://www.bath.ac.uk/learning-support/
)
The University has a positive policy of supporting students with learning
difficulties or disabilities and their interests are represented by
the Advisory Committee on Disabilities. This Committee reports to the
Equal Opportunities and Student Support and Services Committees. The
University has a Learning Support Manager, Mo Kiziewicz
(ex. 3184, Lodge 1, Eastwood A, e-mail: M.F.Kiziewicz@bath.ac.uk)
who can provide help and advice on all aspects of learning support and
coping with learning difficulties.
The University offers support in making alternative arrangements for
exams and assessment, support with study skills and advice with applications
for the Disabled Students Allowance, available from local education
authorities. Support and advice can also be provided in the specification
and purchase of specialist equipment and the use of Information Technology.
In order to ensure that you are provided with the appropriate advice
and support from the start of your studies it is important that you
discuss any difficulties and special requirements with the Learning
Support Manager, or with your Year Tutor, as early as possible.

4. SEMESTERS, UNITS, CREDITS, WEIGHTINGS, PROGRESSIONS
AND DEGREE CLASSIFICATIONS
4.1 Credits and Classifications
In each Semester you are required to study a series of Units that are
given a Credit value. Most of the Units are worth six Credits although
you may be studying some Units worth 3, 5, 12, 24 and 30 Credits. The
credit rating is indicative of the amount of teaching and private study
associated with the Unit; a six Credit Unit corresponds to 100 hours
of teaching and private study. To acquire the Credits a pass mark of
40% in the assessments is required. However, in Units with a component
of programme work and/or laboratory work, a satisfactory grade must
be achieved in that assessment as well as overall. In each Semester
you will study Units to a total value of 30 Credits, so that a total
60 credits must normally be obtained in order to progress to the next
stage of your programme of study. The Programme Board of Examiners will
review a student's performance across the range of Units studied during
the year, before making a recommendation to the Faculty Board of Studies,
who will make the final decision.
Units in the first year have a weighting of zero, and make no contribution
to the final degree classification, but it is, nonetheless, essential
for the student to achieve the Credits awarded for these Units, in order
to progress into the second year of study. A student admitted directly
to the second year will be deemed to have acquired the necessary Credits
by virtue of work done at an institution approved for the purpose.
For the BSc and the BEng programmes the units studied give a total
of 180 Credits. For the sandwich programmes a satisfactory industrial
placement contributes a further 60 Credits. For the MEng programme the
units studied give a total of 240 Credits.
4.2 Overall Criteria:
- The minimum overall average mark for both assessed and examined work
in each year of the programme should normally be 40% in order to progress
to the next year of the programme.
- Normally, a mark between 30-39% is required to qualify for Credit
by compensation.
- In the case of students taking resit examinations or extra work the
mark that will be carried forward is the mark obtained in the first
sitting of the examination not the resit.
- In order to qualify for a classified honours degree a minimum mark
of 40% must be attained in the major project in Year 3 (BEng, BSc) and
Years 3 and 4 (MEng).
4.3 Additional First Year Criteria:
- The Programme Board of Examiners may, in exceptional circumstances,
allow students failing more than one Unit in Semester 1 Examinations
to obtain a Credit by compensation after undertaking remedial or extra
work as instructed.
- Students may, in exceptional circumstances, be allowed to fail one
Unit in Semester 2 without penalty.
- Subject to passing (or obtaining Credit by compensation) in Semester
1 Units, resit examinations and/or extra work (in cases where assessment
is by programme work) will normally be allowed in up to three Units
taken in Semester 2. Students will be permitted to progress to the next
year of the programme subject to satisfactory performance in the resit
examinations and/or extra work.
- Students failing four or more Units will normally be required to repeat
the year or withdraw from the programme.
4.4 Additional Second Year Criteria:
- Students will normally be required to pass all Units but may be allowed
to take resit examinations and/or extra work (in cases where assessment
is by programme work) in up to three Units. Students will be permitted
to progress to the next year of the programme subject to satisfactory
performance in resit examinations and/or extra work.
- Students failing four or more Units will normally be required to repeat
the year or withdraw from the programme.
- Students registered on the MEng programme or wishing to transfer from
the BEng programme to the MEng programme should normally achieve an
overall average of 60%.
- Students on the MEng programme failing to achieve an overall average
of 60% should normally transfer to the BEng programme.
4.5 Additional Third Year Criteria:
MEng students failing to achieve an overall mark of 40% or failing
to satisfy the requirements of any pre-requisites of their fourth year
programme will normally be required to repeat the year or withdraw from
the programme.
4.6 Classification
The Honours classification achieved by a student in determined by the
Programme Board of Examiners from a consideration of aggregate mark
achieved over all assessments for the relevant Units, taking into account
their weightings, which are indicated below. The final degree award
will be classified according to the assessment marks accumulated from
all years of study except the first. The weighting is however not uniform
so that marks gained in the later stages of the programmes are worth
more.
For the BSc and BEng programmes
the weighting is:
Year 1 : Year 2 : Year 3 0 : 30 : 70
For the MEng programme the weighting is:
Year 1 : Year 2 : Year 3: Year 4 0
: 20 : 40 : 40
Degrees are classified according to the overall weighted mark using
the following guidelines:
Class I >70%
Class II (i) 60 to 70%
Class II (ii) 50 to 60%
Class III 40 to 50%
Students who marginally fail overall may be eligible for an unclassified
honours degree.

5. ASSESSMENT
5.1 Programme Units
Each Unit within a Programme is assessed individually. Assessments
can take the form of coursework, laboratory work, oral presentations
and written examinations. The relative weighting of these different
types of assessments will vary from one Unit to another.
5.2 Anonymous marking
For written examinations, the Examinations Office allocates each student
a number. It is this number that is written on examination scripts to
allow for anonymous marking by the examiner(s).
5.3 Disclosure of marks
All marks will be communicated to students individually and not by
public notice.
5.4 Use of Calculators in Examinations
Only University-supplied calculators may normally be used in examinations.
5.5 Penalties for Late Submission of Coursework
All coursework for assessment will have a specified date for submission.
It is important to meet the submission date to ensure equity amongst
students and to enable staff to mark efficiently. The Director of Studies
or Year Tutors may grant an extension to a submission date if there
are valid extenuating circumstances affecting your ability to meet the
deadline. If no extension has been granted and a piece of work is submitted
after the submission date it will be assessed at a maximum mark of 40%.
Any coursework (for which there are no mitigating circumstances or an
agreed extension) submitted later than five days after the submission
date will normally receive a mark of 0%.
Forms to claim extenuating circumstances are available from the Department.
You should briefly describe the circumstances, which you feel support
your request for an extension. The Director of Studies or Year Tutors
may ask for supporting evidence, e.g., a medical certificate before
granting any extension. Only when this form has been approved and signed
by the Director of Studies or Year Tutors will any penalties for late
submission be withdrawn.

6. ATTENDANCE
Attendance and participation in a very high proportion of the scheduled
classes is essential for your academic progress. Notify the Department
Office as soon as you can of any absences, telephone 01225 386447 or
e-mail your tutor or eas-admin@bath.ac.uk . Should you have to miss
a class make sure you copy up the lecture notes from a friend and complete
any work necessary.
7. CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES/REGISTRATION STATUS
It is YOUR responsibility to ensure that the University has your correct
and most-up-to date personal and academic details.
Personal Circumstances:
It is important that the Student Records database is kept up-to-date
for all students. If you change your name or address during your studies
you must complete form CC1 (Notification of
Change of Student's Personal Circumstances: http://www.bath.ac.uk/student-records/sreo.bho/CC1-00.doc
).
Academic Circumstances:
Should you wish to make any of the following changes to your academic
circumstances, you should discuss with your Year Tutor so that the appropriate
form can be completed and approved:
Change of Programme and Unit Choice:
If you wish to make changes to the optional units you have chosen for
the current academic year you must complete form CC4
(Notification of Change of Programme/Unit Choice (Undergraduate: http://www.bath.ac.uk/student-records/sreo.bho/CC4-00.doc
). This is also the form to use should you wish to transfer from one
programme to another within the same department.
If you are considering withdrawing from your degree programme speak
with either your personal tutor, Year Tutor or the Department Administrator.
They will be able to give you advice and support. You should also consult
with the Student Finance Office (4W 2.3) who
will be able to advise you on fee implications.
All forms are available from the Department Office and should be submitted
to the Departmental Administrator for approval and processing after
completion.

8. CHEATING AND PLAGIARISM
"If an author is once detected in borrowing,
he will be suspected of plagiarising ever after"
William Hazlitt, 1778-1830
The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary definitions of Plagiarism are:
· "the action or practice of plagiarising;
the taking and using as one's own of the thoughts, writings, or inventions
of another";
· "a purloined idea, design, passage,
or work"
There are various forms of academic dishonesty but in the student's
context it means cheating in examinations or presenting work for assessment
which is not your own. Plagiarism as a form of cheating takes place
when the student 'borrows' or copies information, data or results from
an unacknowledged source, without quotation marks or any indication
that the presenter is not the original author or researcher. If carried
out knowingly, cheating and plagiarism have the objective of deceiving
examiners and this threatens the integrity of the assessment procedures
and the value of your award.
Work produced by someone else may be summarised or repeated providing
it is referenced to the original author. As well as text, work such
as diagrams, maps and charts must also be acknowledged. In addition
to the use of quotation marks when quoting from original sources and
secondary material, full reference for both quotes and paraphrases or
summaries of published material must be given. All references should
then be included in a bibliography at the end of the piece of work.
Appropriate references for web-based material must also be given, including
the relevant URL.
There are several acceptable methods of referencing material. Examples
include the Harvard system and the Numeric system. Further information
on referencing work and plagiarism can be found on www.bath.ac.uk/keyskills
(to be found under the sections on writing and IT skills).
Guidance is also available in the Library publication 'A
Guide to Citing References' (given at http://www.bath.ac.uk/library/webpubs/references.html)
Any student found to have used unfair means in any examination or assessment
procedure will be penalised. The Board of Examiners for Programmes will
determine the nature and severity of the penalty but this may mean failure
of the unit concerned or a part of the degree, with no provision for
reassessment or retrieval of that failure. Proven cases of plagiarism
or cheating can also lead to disciplinary proceedings as indicated in
University Regulation 7.4 (h) which forbids all students 'the use of
unfair means in any examination or assessment procedure; including:
- cheating, for example unauthorised reference to notes or course material
in an examination
- fabrication, e.g. reporting on experiments never performed
- falsification, e.g. misrepresentation of the results of experimentation
- plagiarism, i.e. taking the writings or ideas of another and representing
them as one's own.
- unfair collaboration or collusion; i.e. the representation of work
produced in collaboration with another person or persons as the work
of a single candidate.

9. MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES -DISCLOSURE OF DYSLEXIA
AND SPECIAL NEEDS, SPORTING COMMITMENTS
9.1 Mitigating circumstances
If you are unwell when completing assessed coursework or sitting examinations,
or have any other specific difficulties, which may affect your performance
in assessed coursework or examinations, you should notify the appropriate
Year Tutor in writing of the circumstances as soon as possible, and
make immediate arrangements for medical certificates or other letters
of support to be submitted.
This will ensure that the Board of Examiners for Programmes has the
appropriate evidence of the mitigating circumstances when considering
your results for the academic year. University Regulation 15.3 d) specifies
that such notification be made no later than three days after completion
of examinations.
Forms to claim mitigating circumstances are available from the Department
and on the University website at "Mitigating circumstances form
http://internal.bath.ac.uk/quality/QA35incAnnex.pdf
". You should briefly describe the circumstances which you feel
have had an adverse affect and how much they have affected your performance
(e.g. missed crucial lectures/classes/test/ coursework/examination or
could not revise/do preparatory reading/practical…). Supporting
evidence should be given to the Director of Studies or Year Tutors.
Do NOT suggest that the Department may approach your doctor for supporting
evidence since medical records are confidential. It is entirely your
responsibility to supply supporting evidence as appropriate - this evidence
can be submitted after the form.
You should hand the completed form to the Department Administrator
or Year Tutor. Information on these forms is treated as confidential,
as are the discussions that take place at the Board of Examiners for
Programmes. The form will include a question asking whether you wish
the nature of your circumstances not to be made known to the members
of the Board. Confidentiality could be confined, for example, to the
Chair of the Programme Board, the Year Tutor, the External Examiner(s)
and the Department Administrator. If you wish confidentiality to be
maintained you must indicate this on the form and discuss it with either
your Personal Tutor or Year Tutor.
If you feel unwell shortly before taking an examination, you are advised
to go to the Medical Centre as soon as possible. Where appropriate,
the doctors may arrange for the examination(s) to be taken in the Medical
Centre. In most circumstances students are encouraged to sit their examinations
as scheduled, even if this involves special arrangements being made.
The Board of Examiners for Programmes will take into account the evidence
provided by the doctor when considering your results.
You should only request a Medical Certificate for serious illness,
admission to Sick Bay or at times when examinations or pieces of assessed
work are compromised by ill health. Medical Certificates are normally
only issued after an illness of more than five working days. You should
note that it is very difficult to obtain retrospective Medical Certificates
and the doctors will not provide a Medical Certificate for any illness
about which they have not been consulted.
Students should have indicated on their UCAS form if they have special
needs, physical or other disability or medical conditions that might
necessitate special arrangements or facilities. If you have special
needs and have not done this, inform your tutor as soon as possible
and a note will placed on your file. All information will be treated
in confidence.
9.2 Sporting commitments
Students who are training for and competing at national and international
level in sport should keep their Year and Personal Tutors informed to
enable the Department to take account of these commitments. Students
will need to fill in a Mitigating circumstances form
(QA 35: http://internal.bath.ac.uk/quality/QA35incAnnex.pdf)
if they expect to be absent from the University during the semester,
resulting in absence from laboratory classes or examinations or failure
to hand in coursework. Students should also fill in a Request
for extension form (QA 16: http://internal.bath.ac.uk/quality/qa16.pdf
) if circumstances prevent them from completing work on time. Clearly,
circumstances should be sufficiently compelling and might involve sporting
commitment at national and international level. If possible the appropriate
form should be filled in before absence or before the deadline for coursework
is passed. Otherwise the form should be completed within a period of
three days from the deadline with supporting medical evidence if appropriate.
The form should be handed in to the Department Office and it will then
be passed to the appropriate Director of Studies (Year Tutor) and the
Board of Examiners for Programmes may wish to consider the forms.
9.3 Disabilities
The University has a positive policy of supporting students with learning
difficulties or disabilities and their interests are represented by
the University Advisory Committee on Disabilities, chaired by Dr
David Skidmore, Ext 5450. This Committee
reports to the Equal Opportunities and Student Support and Services
Committees.
The University offers support in making alternative arrangements for
exams and assessment, support with study skills and advice with applications
for the Disabled Students Allowance, available from Local Education
Authorities. Support and advice can also be provided in the specification
and purchase of specialist equipment and the use of Information Technology.
Visit the Learning Support web-site: http://www.bath.ac.uk/library/
for further information.
There are two dedicated workrooms provided in the Library and Learning
Resources Centre. These are equipped with computer hardware and specialist
software to support students with disabilities, including, adjustable
height desks and a network computer at parade level with priority access
for disabled users. One of the Library staff, Sheila
Page (email: S.D.Page@bath.ac.uk),
ext. 6835, will offer a personal support service
to any student requiring special help.

10. PROCEDURES FOR THE REVIEW OF A BOARD OF STUDIES
DECISION (APPEALS)
University Regulation 17 (Conduct of Academic Reviews: http://www.bath.ac.uk/regulations/#Conacadrev
) explains under what circumstances a student may request that the Board
of Studies reconsider a decision relating to a failed unit or part of
degree or the failure to be able to progress to the next part of a degree.
In summary, the following are the grounds under which such a review
may be permitted:
- that there exist circumstances affecting the performance of the
candidate of which the Board of Examiners have not been made aware
and which the candidate could not reasonably have been expected to
have disclosed to the Year Tutor in accordance with Regulation 15.3
(d);
- that there were procedural irregularities in the conduct of the
examinations or formal course assessments (including administrative
error) of such a nature as to cause reasonable doubt whether the Board
of Examiners would have reached their decision had the irregularities
not occurred;
- that there is positive evidence of prejudice, bias or inadequate
assessment on the part of one or more of the examiners;
Any student seeking a review on any of the grounds indicated above
must notify the Chair of the Board of Studies in writing within fourteen
days of being notified of the decision of the Board. It is also advisable
to discuss the matter with your Year Tutor, Personal Tutor or the Students'
Union (Vice President for Academic Affairs, email: SUvp-academic@bath.ac.uk
) as soon as possible. Where the Chair of the Board of Studies, in consultation
with the Head of Department, agrees that there is a prima facie case
for an academic review, the Chair may consult with the Year Tutor and
internal examiners to determine whether or not the student's desired
outcome is the most appropriate action. Where this is the case, the
Chair may take executive action to approve the outcome without the need
for a review hearing. Where the Chair, in consultation with the Head
of Department, agrees that there is a prima facie case for a review
but executive action is deemed inappropriate, the Board of Studies will
conduct a review hearing. The student will be permitted to appear in
person before the Sub-Committee, accompanied by a friend or advisor.
It should be noted that executive action cannot be invoked in cases
where the review relates to the conferment of an award.
11. SECURITY AND ACCESS
The Department Laboratories are on unrestricted
access from 09.00 to 17.15, Mondays
to Fridays, unless special conditions prevail. The Department
Office is open to students from 10.00

12. HEALTH AND SAFETY
Each Student is issued with an individual Department of Engineering
and Applied Science SAFETY HANDBOOK that is to be referred to at all
times for safe working practices. Students will be refused access to
laboratory and workshop areas until they have read and signed the booklet.
The University has a Health and Safety Policy, which is displayed throughout
the campus. There is also a Health and Safety Office (WH3.19)
with staff who are able to advise on health and safety issues and who
monitor the health and safety management of the University. For further
information the Health and Safety web site is: http://internal.bath.ac.uk/safety/.
The University has a public liability insurance policy to cover any
claims brought by students or members of the public against the University
where the University has been negligent. This policy does not, however,
cover students who come to harm because of their own fault, or cause
damage of their own volition.
Health and Safety for students on placement will be dealt with under
the Placements (Section 6.3).
