Experiment and Design

Catalog description

This is the second core project course for engineering students. It focuses on the interplay between the design process and experimental testing. The "project" for the course will be to imagine multiple designs in response to an engineering problem, and then test and rework those designs. In the process, the course will address all phases of the experimental process: designing a test, creating an experimental setup, building and calibrating sensors, taking data, analyzing data (including statistical analysis), iterating our design, and reporting our results. A significant focus of the course will be on written and oral communication. Prerequisite: ENDE-190 and PHYS-200
