    MIDDLE EAST TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY

    DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING


    ME 304 – Control Systems - Spring 2017
    Homework and Report Guidelines
    Recommended by course assistants

    Documentation of a task is important as much as achievement of the task. A proficient engineer


    should be able to present his/her task clearly, concisely and logically in the correct order. Reader
    of your report should not ask the question “What does he/she want to tell?”; hence, you need to
    make comments where you want to explain something. Your reports should be clear, include
    the references and they should be mentioned in the text. Parameters should be clarified. To
    acquire the habit of writing formal reports, please follow the rules listed below.
    1. You should present your work on white A4 paper.
    2. You should use only one side of the page if you write with pen (or print-out); however,
    you can use both sides of the page if you use pencil.
    3. Page layout should be aligned to both sides of the page.
    4. Your name-surname and ID information should be at top left and submission date
    should be placed at the top right of the page. If you have used multiple pages, they
    should be stapled at the top left corner. (Do NOT use any sheet protector.)
    5. You should write a starting title stating the name of the course and heading of the work
    presented.
    Ex:

    Figure 1 Example page appearance

    6. You should show all your calculations, units clearly. (Do NOT present any result
    without units.)
    7. Any tables, figures that you used should have captions and you should use these captions
    when you refer (mention) them in the text.
    Ex:
    Table 1 Statistical data for HW5

    HW5
    Average 53.36
    Maximum 102.00
    Standard deviation 35.70

    Homework&Report Guidelines
    Statistical data related with the Homework 5 is given in Table 1.

    Figure 2 FFFF Plate with Dimensions

    Figure 2 shows the plate with dimensions and boundary conditions (F-F-F-F) of the
    plate.
    8. You should label all the axes of the graph with units and put the title of the graph.
    Caption of the figure also should be presented.
    Ex:

    Figure 3 Linear and Nonlinear Response of Tine

    9. You should number the equations and use these numbers when you refer in the text.
    Ex:
    1
    𝜆2𝑖𝑗 𝐸ℎ3 2
    𝑓𝑖𝑗 = [ ] (7)
    2𝜋𝑎2 12𝜌(1− 𝜈2 )

    Inserting the numerical value of 𝜌 in the equation (7) will result in ..................
    10. You should give both in text and end text references if you need to use any information
    from any publication other than the course textbook.
    Ex:
    In text:
    In one of the methods for absorption of infrared radiation, Langley has connected
    two platinum wires as two branches of Wheatstone bridge [2].
    End text:
    2. Barr, E.S., The infrared pioneers—III. Samuel Pierpont Langley. Infrared
    Physics, 1963. 3(4): p. 195-206.
    11. You should number the pages as current page out of total page.

    12. Neatness will be graded; therefore, you should pay attention while preparing your
    reports.
    13. You should submit your work on time. If you not, there will be 1 point reduction over
    100 points for every minute after the due time.
    14. Cheating will be punished severely. If you have any excuse not to do your homework,
    then DO NOT do it. You can come and talk to course assistants about your excuse, do
    not steal someone’s work and do not let them steal your work. Both of the cheater and
    the one let cheating will be punished equally. For the first cheating you will get zero for
    that homework/report. For the second one, your whole homework/report grades will be
    zero.
