2019 Assignments

Note that each assignment below includes a tutorial style ABAQUS finite element analysis problem. Although they do tie in with the class material, these could be completed at any time during the semester - you don't need to wait until the week they are due. This might be useful if you see something in one of the later homeworks that might help you with the final project, and you can also use this to juggle your course-load with other classes.

General Homework Policies:

• Homework will be assigned no later than 1 week before the due date, and are due by 10pm on Fridays..
• Submitting Homework: Please submit homework by uploading a pdf file to canvas
• We will not count your lowest homework grade when computing your final grades. This is meant as an automatic homework excuse for sickness or an emergency. You don't need to request extensions on homework - we will just tell you to use the automatic excuse....
• Collaboration policy: You may work on homework problems as a group.  However, any work submitted for grading must represent work done by the person who will receive credit for the assignment.  It is not acceptable for two students to submit identical copies of a homework problem.  It is not acceptable for one student to copy work previously done by another.  
• Regrade requests: Please fill out the regrade request form (please submit a separate form for each assignment you need regrading), and (if necessary) place a copy of your paper assignment in the regrade box on North side of 7th floor of Barus-Holley building
