C or better in MATH 2250 , C or better in ME 1000 or concurrent enrollment Engineering Experimentation and eling This course is the Mechanical Engineering Department's introductory laboratory and solid modeling course and introduces technical writing formats commonly encountered in the workplace. The course has two components: An introduction to CAD modeling followed by a series of labs and lectures on basic experimentation. The laboratories examine simple physical systems related to dynamics. You will design experimental procedures to determine system behavior, execute the experiment, and analyze the experimental results. In addition, you will communicate the problem, experiment, results, analysis, and conclusions in a manner consistent with professional engineering standards of practice. The assignments in this course are a mixture of individual and group efforts. Max Credit: 3 Prerequisite: ES 1060 and ES 2120 and Successful Completion of ME success curriculum Cross Listed:
