In this course, not only will reports be graded for technical merit, but they will also be evaluated for grammar, spelling, and other proper writing mechanics. Although guidelines for technical reports and oral presentations may be provided throughout the course of the semester, generally accepted technical writing styles will be acceptable. Even though you may be early in your engineering career, now is the time to develop a professional attitude towards your work. In an effort to insure that homework reflects this professionalism, the following format will be required of all homework. When completing your homework, please be neat and prompt.
Sloppy work is difficult to grade and greatly increases the potential for errors in grading.
Homework which is turned in late will automatically be dropped one letter grade. The instructor reserves the right to refuse acceptance of any late homework. During this course, you may be required to sketch a number of diagrams. Engineering paper will greatly facilitate you in this effort. Homework which is completed on paper torn from a notebook will not be graded.
