Measurements Laboratory

Catalog description

Laboratory introduction to the measurement process in engineering. Matching measurements to approximate and exact physical models is stressed. Extraction of physical parameters and estimation of the errors in the parameter estimates is an important part of the course. Example projects cover steady and unsteady state heat transfer, momentum transfer, and the first law of thermodynamics. Recommended preparation: ECHE 360 . Counts as a Disciplinary Communication course. Prereq: ECHE 260 and ECHE 225 . Prereq or Coreq: ECHE 363 .
