Evaluation: / The student will be evaluated as follows:

Homework: 20 %

Homework will be given weekly, except during exam weeks. It should be handed in a week after the date assigned. No late homework will be accepted. All assignments should be done neatly on 8.5”11” engineering paper. The final answer of each problem should be underlined and provided in units requested. Group discussion of homework problems is encouraged. However, each student is expected to submit his/her own work.

Three Mid-term Examinations: 55 %

Students are not allowed to bring any reference materials to the test. The instructor will provide all necessary tables and diagrams.

Final Examination: 25 %

Final exam will be comprehensive and scheduled during the final exam week.
Note: No make-up exam will be offered unless an emergency or unavoidable cause can be identified and approved by the instructor.
Grading System: / New plus and minus grading system will be utilized to determine the final grade.
