Q
problem presentation
A
- Problem Statement – This is a summary of the given
information and an explanation of what needs to be
determined. - Diagram – A sketch or diagram showing how things are
setup and containing given and needed information. - Theory – Laws, relationships, and equations which will
govern the steps used to solve the problem. - Assumptions – Information that provides a starting point
from which to solve or provides relationships that allow
you to eliminate unknowns. - Solution Steps – The steps taken to obtain the solution.
- Identify Results & Verify Accuracy – Clearly identifying
the final result (boxing, double underline, highlighting,
etc.) and making sure that this solution makes sense and
has the correct units.
