Course Description:

Selected intermediate experiments in power and energy conversion, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and solid mechanics.  This laboratory provides students with hands-on experience and an opportunity to review and apply the theory learned in the core mechanical engineering courses. 

The course objectives are:

• Develop intuition in the operation and analysis of mechanical systems and instrumentation 
• Gain practical skills to conduct mechanical engineering experiments
•  Become familiar with conventional experimental techniques and equipment for power, flow, heat, strength measurements
• Develop a methodology to conduct and report experiments
  
• Develop teamwork skills
