Can you find ? The homework assignment for today’s class? The two types of homework format? Engineering & Non-Engineering Format 16

Engineering Format Each problem should have the following sections: Should be neat Completed on (yellow, green, or white) engineering paper or white printer paper Problems should be in order that they are assigned Number all pages (e.g., 2/5, where 2 is the current page and 5 is the total pages in the homework set) Proper units should be used throughout solutions Each problem should begin on a new page (solutions can span multiple pages) 17

Engineering Format Example 18

Non-Engineering Format Used for problems that do not require calculations Programming, General discussion questions, Listing and discussing parts for a project, Global and societal discussions, and Out of class activities Each solution in non-engineering format should have the following: Rewritten problem statement If a computer program is required, always include a program listing (e.g., screen shot of the program) Write what you have completed in your own words (be concise) Problems should be presented in the order they were assigned Number your pages (pages should be integrated in with engineering format pages, in order of the problems assigned). Should be easy for grader to look at the homework and understand what you have done. 19

Non-Engineering Format Example 20

Turning in Homework Turn in each homework as one pdf document through your section’s moodle page. Turn in problems in order. Engineering format: one problem per page Non-engineering format: okay to have multiple problems per page. Include headings/page numbers on each page. Keep a copy of your homework for future reference. We recommend stapling and labelling the outside of your homework as shown in the image to the right. 21
