Can you find…? The homework assignment for today’s class? The two types of homework format? Engineering & Non-Engineering Format14
Engineering Format Each problem should have the following sections: 15 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) Folded and labeled as shown in figure Proper units should be used throughout solutions Each problem should begin on a new page (solutions can span multiple pages)
Engineering Format Example 16
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 activitiesEach 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 assignedNumber your pagesShould be easy for grader to pick up homework and understand what you have done. Fold and label paper in the same manner as engr format (see figure)17
Non-Engineering Format Example 18
