Mechanical Engineering Systems Lab 1

Catalog description

This is the first course in a series of two mechanical engineering systems laboratory courses ( MES 302 and MES 400 ). In each course, students apply the measurement and experimental techniques learned in MES 201 to explore and verify key theoretical mechanical engineering concepts. Students learn to write a variety of common technical reports such as engineering memos and formal engineering laboratory reports. MES 302 focuses on the fields of mechanical vibrations, fluid mechanics, dynamics of machines, PID controls, and Simulink programming. The course requires a field trip to a local business, and students will be required to provide or arrange for their own transportation.
