MECH 517 Class Instructions (Revised 1/27/2021)

General:
Check the Announcement topic (above) before each class.

Completed assignments should be emailed to the professor as
PDF files (due to prior problems with Canvas) until notified
otherwise

Submissions made after a specific due date and time (without a
reasonable excuse) will loose 20% credit for each late 24 hour 
period, or increment thereof.

Some submissions allow two attempts. Prior attempts must be 
attached behind the latest attempt.

Marked submissions will be returned by email

Students are required complete a group of FEA simulation training
problems.  They will be reported in a MS Word (or equivalent) 
document that will contain certain information about each training
exercise. That will include the name of the training, the date 
completed, a short comment about the usefulness of the task, and 
a copy of any specific image(s) required from the training. The
accumalated report will be submitted as a single PDF file when the
assigned problems are completed, but no later than midnight on the 
last day of university classes. A complete report will receive 
20% of the course grade.
 
NEATNESS: All submitted homework materials MUST be neat and look
professional or they will be returned to be re-done. Homework
should include the student name, the assignment number, the given
information, the required information, assumptions made (especially
any boundary conditions), and the solution. 

The Clear Linux material is being continuously moved to Canvas and
will be deleted after each move.
