Integrated Engineering I - Autumn, 1998
So, why did I get a grade of N??
Sorry for the delays in grading. With all my time away at the end of the
quarter, my grading pile, which is often pretty large at the end of the
quarter anyway, was truly daunting. As of Dec 19, I have everything
finished except a couple of the last project reports, and I took those
with me on my family trip this week, so I will have final grades finished
by the time I return to UC on the 28th or 29th. You will get revised
grade reports in a few weeks reflecting the final grade. The revised
versions of the truss reports are on the chair outside 759 Baldwin (along
with midterms that were not picked up).
GROUPS FOR THIRD (AND LAST!!) DESIGN
PROJECT
Reminder: Oral presentations by all those who have not presented before
now will take place Thursday at 1:30 pm during the final exam period (due
date for reports).
REQUIREMENTS FOR THIRD DESIGN PROJECT
Hint on third design project: On Geometry A, if you are stuck on
getting loads for the cross members that form the 'X' inside the square,
assume that these loads are zero due to the symmetry of the truss. If you
did not assume this and got an answer, that is fine (unless it is not
justifiably correct).
