What This Document Is
This document is a grading sheet and lab report for EGR 2500, Intro to Thermal Engineering at Oakland University, specifically for Laboratory Assignment #3: Conservation of Energy: Modeling an Electric Water Heater. It outlines the criteria used to evaluate student reports on an experiment involving an electric water heater. The document is dated November 2, 2018.
Why This Document Matters
This grading sheet is essential for students enrolled in EGR 2500 who have completed Lab #3. It details how their work will be assessed, providing clarity on expectations for technical content, data presentation, discussion, and overall report presentation. It’s used by the instructor, Dr. K. Kobus, to provide feedback and assign a grade.
Common Limitations or Challenges
This document *is not* the lab report itself, nor does it contain the experimental data or results. It only specifies the evaluation criteria. Students will still need to refer to the full lab assignment guidelines and their own experimental data to understand how to improve their work.
What This Document Provides
The document provides a detailed breakdown of the grading rubric, categorized into “Technical Content” (worth 90% of the grade) and “Presentation” (worth 10% of the grade). Specific areas assessed include the abstract, data collection, tabular results, graphs, discussion, sample calculations, references, and the theory section. It also lists the required components of the appendix (raw data and lab handout). It does *not* include the actual lab report, experimental data, or detailed explanations of thermal engineering principles.
