Homework Guidelines

All homework solutions must be neatly and clearly presented as hand-written calculations or as a computer printout. Problem sets are due at 4:00pm on the dates shown on the syllabus. Late homeworks will NOT be accepted

Homework is to be done in the assigned teams with each team handing in one homework solution. The team name MUST  be written on the upper-right corner of the front page of the assignment along with  the names of the team members that actively participated in the generation of the homework solutions.  The role of each team member (e.g., Coordinator, Recorder, Monitor, Checker - see Team Policies page for details) should be listed to the right of the team members' names.  Each team member much take on each roll at least 3 times.

 Each member should outline solutions prior to producing the team solution. The individual solution outlines need not be handed in but are meant to insure that each team member has thought about the problems BEFORE coming together for team meetings..

Please observe the following guidelines (as applicable) when submitting homework:

• Team name and page number (e.g. 4/6) on each page. Neat and readable.
• Sketches and free body diagrams (where appropriate) drawn with a straightedge or neatly by hand.
• Plots include labeled axes, a title, different line types or symbols to distinguish between results, where applicable.
• When possible plot non-dimensional results. 
• When at all applicable plot your results!  While the final answer may be in equation form most of us visualize the solution much better when placed in graphical form.  Often times a plot will reveal undetected errors.
• Electronic solutions should be well documented (liberal use of comments).
• Problem number given for each problem.
• Problem must be solved using symbols until the last step when the numerical values (including units) are substituted for the symbols.
• Final answer clearly marked for each problem, with dimensions and appropriate number of significant digits.
• Sufficient detail included to indicate significant steps toward final answer.
• Answers checked against engineering common sense. 
• Dimensions checked.
• Pages stapled together.  If you have to thick a sheaf of papers there is an industrial strength stapler in the CEE main office to the right of the copiers when you face the windows. This means folding, paper-clipping, binder clipping is insufficient.
