THIS TYPE OF PAPER WILL ALLOW FOR A MORE ORGANIZED PRESENTATION OF WORK AND MAKING SKETCHING OF FIGURES EASIER. YOU MAY USE QUADRILLE PAPER OR ENGINEERING PAPER. QUADRILLE PAPER IS USUALLY THE CHEAPEST. BUT YOU MAY USE PLAIN RULED PAPER INSTEAD 3. ALL PAGES OF THE ASSIGNMENT ARE TO BE NUMBERED IN THE FORM: (PAGE # OF TOTAL PAGES). FOR EXAMPLE (3 OF 6) OR 3/6. 4. ALL PROBLEMS OF THE ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE CLEARLY NUMBERED AND ARE TO APPEAR IN NUMERIC ORDER. 5. ALL PAGES OF THE ASSIGNMENT ARE TO BE STAPLED TOGETHER AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE SHEETS (AS VIEWED WHEN READING A PROBLEM ON THE SHEET). THE STAPLE SHOULD NOT OBSCURE THE PROBLEM OR THE PROBLEM NUMBER. 6. THE COMPLETED ASSIGNMENT SHOULD STAPLED AND FOLDED NEATLY IN HALF ALONG THE VERTICAL (LONGEST DIMENSION) OF THE PAPERS. 7. INFORMATION DESCRIBING THE ASSIGNMENT IS TO APPEAR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FOLDED PAPER ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE BACK OF THE STAPLE. THE INFORMATION SHOULD INCULDE: YOUR NAME, COURSE NAME AND NUMBER, THE ASSIGNMENT NUMBER, A LISTING OF THE PROBLEMS SUBMITTED FOR GRADING AND THE DATE SUBMITTED. (SEE THE ATTACHED DIAGRAM.) NOTE IF YOU DID NOT WORK A PROBLEM IT SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR LIST. 8. EVERY PROBLEM MUST START AT THE TOP OF A NEW PAGE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS WHEN A NEW PROBLEM CAN BE STARTED AND COMPLETED ON THE SAME PAGE. IF MORE THAN ONE PROBLEM IS ON A PAGE BE SURE TO DRAW A DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE PROBLEMS. 9. IF A PROBLEM CARRIES OVER TO ADDITIONAL PAGES, INDICATE AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THE NEXT PAGE AND AT THE TOP OF EACH PAGE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS PAGE. 10. EACH PROBLEM IS TO START WITH A STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AS PRESENTED IN THE TEXT OR PARAPHRASED, AND SHOULD INCLUDE CIRCUITS, DIAGRAMS, PLOTS OR SKETCHES THAT WERE PART OF THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM STATEMENT. IF YOU WISH, FEEL FREE TO PRINT A COPY OF THE PROBLEM AND ANY ASSOCIATED PROBLEM INFORMATION ONTO THE PAGE ON WHICH THE PROBLEM SOLUTION IS PRESENTED. 11. NUMBER OR FORMULA SOLUTIONS ARE TO BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED BY PLACING THEM IN SOME TYPE OF SURROUNDING BOX OR STRUCTURE. 12.

HOMEWORK FORMAT

1. ALL WORK IS TO APPEAR ON ONLY ONE SIDE OF EACH SHEET!

2. HOMEWORK PROBLEMS THAT REQUIRE CALCULATIONS SHOULD BE NEATLY WRITTEN WITH EXPLANATIONS THAT EXPLAIN ALL CALCULATIONS AT EACH STEP. IF A DIAGRAM, CIRCUIT OR SKETCH IS REQUIRED IT IS USUALLY A GOOD IDEA TO USE GRAPHICALLY STRUCTURED PAPER WITH A BACKGROUND GRID OF EVENLY SPACED ORTHOGONALLY INTERSECTING LINES. THIS TYPE OF PAPER WILL ALLOW FOR A MORE ORGANIZED PRESENTATION OF WORK AND MAKING SKETCHING OF FIGURES EASIER. YOU MAY USE QUADRILLE PAPER OR ENGINEERING PAPER. QUADRILLE PAPER IS USUALLY THE CHEAPEST. BUT YOU MAY USE PLAIN RULED PAPER INSTEAD

3. ALL PAGES OF THE ASSIGNMENT ARE TO BE NUMBERED IN THE FORM: (PAGE # OF TOTAL PAGES). FOR EXAMPLE (3 OF 6) OR 3/6.

4. ALL PROBLEMS OF THE ASSIGNMENT SHOULD BE CLEARLY NUMBERED AND ARE TO APPEAR IN NUMERIC ORDER.

5. ALL PAGES OF THE ASSIGNMENT ARE TO BE STAPLED TOGETHER AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE SHEETS (AS VIEWED WHEN READING A PROBLEM ON THE SHEET). THE STAPLE SHOULD NOT OBSCURE THE PROBLEM OR THE PROBLEM NUMBER.

6. THE COMPLETED ASSIGNMENT SHOULD STAPLED AND FOLDED NEATLY IN HALF ALONG THE VERTICAL (LONGEST DIMENSION) OF THE PAPERS.

7. INFORMATION DESCRIBING THE ASSIGNMENT IS TO APPEAR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FOLDED PAPER ON THE SAME SIDE AS THE BACK OF THE STAPLE. THE INFORMATION SHOULD INCULDE: YOUR NAME, COURSE NAME AND NUMBER, THE ASSIGNMENT NUMBER, A LISTING OF THE PROBLEMS SUBMITTED FOR GRADING AND THE DATE SUBMITTED. (SEE THE ATTACHED DIAGRAM.) NOTE IF YOU DID NOT WORK A PROBLEM IT SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED IN YOUR LIST.

8. EVERY PROBLEM MUST START AT THE TOP OF A NEW PAGE. THE ONLY EXCEPTION IS WHEN A NEW PROBLEM CAN BE STARTED AND COMPLETED ON THE SAME PAGE. IF MORE THAN ONE PROBLEM IS ON A PAGE BE SURE TO DRAW A DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN THE PROBLEMS.

9. IF A PROBLEM CARRIES OVER TO ADDITIONAL PAGES, INDICATE AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH PAGE THAT THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THE NEXT PAGE AND AT THE TOP OF EACH PAGE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS PAGE.

10. EACH PROBLEM IS TO START WITH A STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AS PRESENTED IN THE TEXT OR PARAPHRASED, AND SHOULD INCLUDE CIRCUITS, DIAGRAMS, PLOTS OR SKETCHES THAT WERE PART OF THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM STATEMENT. IF YOU WISH, FEEL FREE TO PRINT A COPY OF THE PROBLEM AND ANY ASSOCIATED PROBLEM INFORMATION ONTO THE PAGE ON WHICH THE PROBLEM SOLUTION IS PRESENTED.

11. NUMBER OR FORMULA SOLUTIONS ARE TO BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED BY PLACING THEM IN SOME TYPE OF SURROUNDING BOX OR STRUCTURE.

12. EVERY NUMERIC ANSWER MUST CONTAIN PROPER UNITS AND ANY OTHER TERMS NECESSARY TO COMPLETELY IDENTIFY THE ANSWER.

13. SHOW ALL SIGNIFICANT WORK THAT LEADS TO THE SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM. IF IT IS A MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS SHOW ALL THE DETAILS. IF COMPUTER CODE IS REQUIRED SHOW ALL THE CODE AND ALONG WITH HELPFUL COMMENTS THAT EXPLAIN THE CODE.

14. WHEN SUBMITTING COMPUTER OUTPUT, GIVE BOTH CODE AND RESULTS. IN MATLAB IT IS HELPFUL TO PUT COMMANDS IN A SCRIPT AND THEN USE "ECHO" COMMAND TO PRINT LINE COMMANDS AND RESULTS. IT IS ALSO HELPFUL TO REDUCE THE FONT SIZE TO SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 7 TO 10 POINTS TO SAVE ON PAPER. NOTE THAT IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU WRITE YOUR OWN CODE. USING ANOTHER'S CODE IS CHEATING AND IF YOU ARE CAUGHT YOU CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE ENGINEERING PROGRAM. IT’S NOT WORTH IT,
