Drawing and Homework Requirements

All straight lines must be drawn with a ruler, triangle or straight-edge. It is suggested a 6 inch clear plastic ruler be purchased for this purpose. This ruler is also an aid for reading tables and
figures.

A template of common drawing shapes (squares, circles, etc.) is also recommended.

Circles and other curved shapes should be drawn with a template or other instrument (e.g., French curve, ship’s curve, etc).

Freehand curves and freehand straight lines are not acceptable.

HW/Exam Identification:
Due to the difficulty in returning large numbers of HW/Quizzes/Exams to this class, students will be required to display in the upper left corner of the first page of all summitted work their roster assigned identification code.

Class Email Policy:
Due to the difficulty in receiving large numbers of emails from students in this course, students will be required to put the string "CHEN2610" in the subject line of ALL emails to the instructor.

HOMEWORK: Homework is due at the beginning of the class indicated.  Turn in homework before class starts.

Late homework (without an official university/medical excuse) will not be accepted. 

The Chemical Engineering Homework Format must be observed.

Homework Format Requirements
Homework Format Essentials

Required HW-Identification Format

On "ordinary" homework, labs, projects, and other assignments, you may receive help from classmates (limited to explaining the assignment and necessary approach, locating and explaining errors, etc).

On "team" assignments, teams are to work entirely independently without any inter-team communication or assistance.

On certain announced "independent" assignments, students are to work entirely without any assistance.

In all cases, the work you turn in is to represent your personal effort. ACADEMIC HONESTY ISSUES WILL BE PURSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT. 


POSTING OF FILES: At times, the course schedule may contain "dead links" due to revision of the course or renaming of files. Please report any problems in accessing web resources by email to the instructor should you have a need for the information. PLEASE ASK FOR FILE PASSWORDS IF REQUIRED.

Something we’re dealing with at work today that I thought might tickle your fluids fancy! This is a 36” line in our water treatment area. Someone tried to start the pumps up that pull off of it without checking to ensure that the valve upstream was open. Oops. I’ve never seen such a large collapsed line before – thought maybe you hadn’t either. At least the pumps are pulling water through the line OK – it’s just the water supply for our turbine generators, no biggie ;)
