All assignments are to be submitted on engineering paper. You may use any engineering paper as long as it has a background grid. The example page below is for the paper available in the bookstore. If an alternate form of paper is used, the headings at the top of the page should be modified to match the printed partitions; however, the remainder of the instructions apply equally to either form.

Work should be done in pencil, with a lead hardness which produces good contrast to the paper. Figures should be drawn with a straight edge and, if appropriate, a circle template or compass. The layout and appearance of your work should be of professional quality. Work no more than one problem per page. Do not use the back of a page for any reason. All pages should be ordered by page number and stapled. A good guide for this standard is to prepare each assignment as if it were to be kept on file and sent to prospective employers as an example of your work at the  University of Memphis.

Homework is due at the beginning of class on the due date, and late homework will not be accepted for any reason. To account for a missed assignment, even with a valid excuse, two homework assignment will be dropped for consideration in computing the homework average.
