Mechanical Engineering Experimentation

Catalog description

Mechanical measurements and methods of experimentation. Calibration standards, statistical replication and error minimization, transducers and instrumentation, dimensional analysis and the design of an experiment. Laboratory experiments will require formal reports and will deal with displacements, velocities, pressures, and elastics strains. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
