Any notes whatsoever you make to work on a given lab assignment should be written, scribbled, symbolized or thought about here. Be especially conscientious at keeping the upper right corner information filled in as you go along. If you have never done this before, learning to keep good engineering notes requires some initial discipline. If they are incomplete or do not adequately support the report to which they are attached, the lab report will be returned ungraded. Note that although Petersen requires Engineering Notes to be submitted with every report in his classes, we will not expect you to submit your engineering notes except for the check offs.
Labs are due on the date specified.
Twice during the quarter your engineering notebooks will be checked off by the TA, each check counts as a half lab. The collection times will be random, as the idea is to update your notes as you do the experiments. The lab books are your personal notes, so they don't need to be neat, but you need to demonstrate acceptable lab technique.
