Regularly doing the homework is the best way to understand the course material. Homework assignments are to be submitted at the beginning of the class period when due. Late homework will not be counted, unless arrangements have been made with the instructor. A well sharpened or thin-lead mechanical pencil with either H or HB lead is recommended to produce sharp dark lines without smudging. Erasures should be clean and complete presentations are to be in good engineering format.
Diagrams are an important part of an engineering analysis.
These should be neatly drawn, using a straightedge and other drawing tools, to an appropriate scale of sufficient size so that pertinent data and dimensions can be clearly shown. Final numerical results are to be shown complete with dimensional units and designated by underlining. Results should not be recorded to more significant digits than is justified by the accuracy of the input data. A practical rule is to record four digits when the first significant digit is a 1 and three digits for all other cases. Staple completed homework sheets together at the upper left-hand corner and fold lengthwise.
