MAE10 Homework Submission Guide Step by step instructions for submitting your MAE10 homework electronically to the EEE DropBox

Step 1:

Be sure to name your homework files correctly, following this convention

o ID#_HW#_P#.m

o For example: ID12345678_HW2_P2.m

Start a new code by going to New → Script (or CNTRL + N)

o This will open a blank script in the Editor Window

Save your code (shown as Untitled* in the screenshot below) by going to

Save → Save As

o Be sure to use the filename described above and then click save

o Note that the .m extension is applied automatically by the “Save as

type: MATLAB Code files (*.m)”

o You should see the filename appear in the editor window and on the

left most box in MATLAB under your Current Folder

The .m extension should be shown in both these locations

Note that you must re-save your code each time you make a

change. Be sure you have saved the most recent and final

version before proceeding with the upload to the EEE DropBox

Step 2:

Open a browser and navigate to the EEE website

o eee.uci.edu

Sign in using your UCInetID

o Follow “Secure Sign In” link on the right-hand side of the page

Step 3:

Access the MAE10 DropBox by clicking on the “DropBox” link shown

under the MAE10 lecture or discussion course on EEE (shown below)

o NOTE: Using the “Access DropBox” link on the left-hand column of

EEE’s homepage will also allow you to access the MAE10 DropBox

(not shown)

Step 4:

You should now see all available DropBoxes for MAE10 on the left-hand

column of the page

Click on the MAE10 DropBox that corresponds to the homework

assignment you are trying to submit

o For example, click on “MAE10 Homework 1” shown below

You will now see the AssignmentSubmission folder available

under the “MAE10 Homework 1” DropBox

Step 5:

Click on the AssignmentSubmission folder under the “MAE10 Homework

#” DropBox that you just entered in Step 4

o You can click on either link (shown below) to enter the

AssignmentSubmission folder

o Your homework (.m) files MUST be uploaded into the

AssignmentSubmission folder under the correct Homework #

DropBox for MAE10

Uploading files to any other folder (not in correct Homework #,

not in AssignmentSubmission folder, etc.) will result in zero

credit for that assignment

NOTE: The DropBox for each homework assignment will be locked after

the homework is due – no late submissions are allowed

Step 6:

Once you are in the AssignmentSubmission folder for the correct “MAE10

Homework #” DropBox (shown in red circle below), click on the “Upload

Files” link on the right-hand side of the page under

AssignmentSubmission Options (shown in orange circle below)

o NOTE: Your AssignmentSubmission DropBox folder may look slightly

different as a student, and should show any files you have already

uploaded into this folder

Step 7:

You will now be prompted to upload as many files as you choose (default

3 simultaneously)

o NOTE: You can upload all of your .m files at once by editing the

“Number of files to display” box (not required)

You can upload your .m files one at a time as you finish them

and in any order, but all files must be uploaded before the

homework due date after which point the DropBox will be

locked and no late submission will be allowed

Click the “Browse…” button and browse to the directory where you saved

the .m files you want to submit for this homework

o Typically saved in “Documents > MATLAB”

Select the .m file you want to upload and click “Open” or double click on

the file

o NOTE: In windows, the .m extension is typically not shown under the

name of the file, but it does list its Type as a “M file”. The extension

will show on the upload screen after you click “Open”

Step 8:

Repeat step 7 for all individual .m files required for the Homework # you

are submitting

Once you have browsed and opened all files you want to submit, click the

“Upload” button and wait for the files to upload

o NOTE: The full file names, with .m extension, should be shown in the

upload window before you click “Upload”

You should now see your .m files in the DropBox. Verify everything was

submitted correctly and you are done!

o NOTE: Be sure you have only one .m file per problem (delete old

versions if you uploaded any)

o NOTE: Any file that you upload to the EEE DropBox will be

automatically prepended with your UCINet ID. We are aware of this

and there is nothing that you need to do – just be sure to follow the

naming convention for the M-File that you upload. For example:

Uploading: ID1235678_HW1_P1.m

Becomes: panteater_ID1235678_HW1_P1.m
