NOTE about HW rules/policy: Every electronic correspondence (email etc.) must have subject line with the course number and semester-year-and-your-initial abbreviation (without spacing) and a relevant heading in it (key words are fine, e.g., 390sp04mk lab safety, for MEE390 Spring 2004 and Milivoje Kostic (initials), related to lab safety, for example). Your email must finish with your full name "signature," since many of you use an alias for your email address. Otherwise your email may be discarded. A free electronic HEAT TRANSFER TEXTBOOK

MEE 352 Approved Handouts:
Please PRINT and bring the Approved Handouts (with your name and bounded in a single volume: all stapled together or in a single 3-ring folder): Chapter Summaries (or copy from your Textbook), Unit Conversions and Constants, and Appendix 1 (or copy from your Textbook): SI Property Tables and Charts, if we need those for our Midterm Exam. TA will print the Approved Handouts and make it available for those students who want to copy them instead of printing. NOTE: If any font in a PDF file does not print properly, choose “Print as Image” option in the File>Print menu. If the font prints properly it is better to print without this option. You may want to choose other options suitable for your printer (like "Shrink oversized pages to paper size," etc.). It is your responsibility to check the printing and add/correct any misprint if needed. * Online Textbook Errata.* Online Textbook 3dr Ed. Errata
