Grading Policy


Grades in this course will be assigned according to each student's demonstrated knowledge of the course material. The Department of Mechanical Engineering has adopted the following guidelines for undergraduate courses:

  • approximately 25% A's
  • approximately 40% B's
  • approximately 25% C's
  • not more than 10% D's and F's.


Course Ethics


Collaboration is prohibited in the quizzes and the final examination. Collaboration in the form of group discussion of the problem sets is encouraged, but each student is required to submit an original solution.
