Workshop Courses

All students must complete, normally before enrolment into the 2nd Professional Year, approved workshop courses.  Students must completed the ECE approved electrical workshop.  There is also an approved mechanical workshop, while this is not compulsory it is run on an opt-out basis.  

1st Professional students are invoiced for the combined fee of $250 at enrolment (ENCE Fee) and are automatically assigned a place in both courses. Direct entry BSc students must also complete the workshop courses but will be invoiced separately.

Students who have either missed, or think they should be exempt from workshop course(s), should see Mike Cusdin or e-mail mike.cusdin@canterbury.ac.nz.

During one of the first ENEL 211 classes, students will be shown how to use the web-based booking system to check and/or change their booking to another course if there are places available. Names can only be moved not removed.

There are time constraints associated with the booking system. Students wishing to move their booking must do so at least 5 days before the start of the course. This allows other students the opportunity of booking into the vacated slot(s) for 3 days, prior to all bookings finally closing 2 days before the start of the course.

The electrical workshop is run by the department in the Electronics Laboratory on Level 2, and is repeated five times during the year. Course instructors insist that the courses start on time and therefore will refuse entry to any student arriving late.

The mechanical workshop course is run by Riccarton High School in Curletts Road. Map (pdf 140kb)

If you do not attend your assigned workshop course you will not be able to enrol for any of the other courses in that year, unless exceptional circumstances prevented your attendance.
