Mechanical Engineering Measurements Laboratory

Catalog description

Techniques and devices used for experimental work in mechanical and aerospace engineering. Lecture topics include elementary statistics, linear regression, propagation of uncertainty, digital data acquisition, characteristics of common measurement systems, background for measurement laboratories, and elements of report writing. Hands-on laboratory experiences may include measurements in solid mechanics, dynamics, and fluid and thermal sciences, which are summarized in lab reports. At least one report will focus on design of a measurement. Recommended preparation: EMAE 181 , EMAE 251 , EMAE 252 and ECIV 310 . Counts as a Disciplinary Communication course.
