MAE 110A Homework Guidelines

The document outlines the requirements for homework assignments in MAE 110A. Homework must be: 1) Neatly written on 8.5" x 11" paper, stapled, with each problem and solution clearly labeled. 2) Follow a standard format including describing the problem, assumptions, equations, analysis, and solution. 3) Clearly show work and include appropriate diagrams, tables, and unit conversions. Grades will be based on understanding the problem, identifying the procedure, clearly describing the solution, and obtaining the correct numerical answer.

MAE 110A Homework Assignment Requirements

Homework assignments have the following requirements. Any homework not following these
requirements will be returned ungraded.
1. All homework must be done neatly on 8.5 X 11 paper (single-sided on clean, new paper,
stapled together, no frayed edges) with each problem and final solution clearly indicated.
The following information must appear on the first page
Name and date
Course number
Homework number
2. All homework must follow the following standard format for organizing and presenting the
solution to each homework problem
1.

2.
3.
4.

5.

Problem description - including the following


Basic description and given information
Sketch of problem/geometry and system considered (use dashlines for system)
Initial state (knowns and unknowns)
Final state (knowns and unknowns)
*Appropriate property diagrams (indicate state points, process lines)
What is to be determined.
Engineering Model - list all required simplifying assumptions and idealizations.
Basic equations - general form of relevant fundamental laws, equations, definitions.
Analysis
Clear description of procedure to reduce basic equations to given solutions.
Keep equations in variable form (dont substitute numbers) for as long as possible.
Identify all tables and charts needed for additional data, property values (e.g. from
Table B.1.1).
Substitute numerical values into final equations. Be sure to specify all units and unit
conversions.
Clearly indicate final answer(s) with underline or box.
check solution - correct sign, reasonable numerical values?
Discussion of solution: as needed (what did you learn, key aspects of solution, etc.)

Note: not all problems (e.g. Chapter 1) require the above items. Follow the standard format as
best as you can and as appropriate.
Grades will be determined by students
understanding of the problem.
identification of necessary procedure to obtain solution.
clear and precise description of solution.
correct numerical solution.
