This course will involve the incorporation of testing theory and hands on experimental setup & testing to enable the students with the ability to setup, perform, and properly analyze experimental results. The curriculum contains aspects of solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, dynamics, mathematics, electronics, materials science, and other engineering subjects. While many theoretical mathematical derivations often utilize calculus, a stronger understanding and application of algebra is essential to arrive at the correct results. EE36089 consists of separate Lecture (twice weekly) and Lab (once weekly) meetings. The lecture provides measurement system background & theory, and the lab provides an opportunity to apply methods in a hands-on laboratory environment. Scheduling of lecture topics has been coordinated with lab exercises to provide "just in time" delivery of subject matter. A good cross-section of commonly used transducers and measurement systems will be discussed in lecture and utilized in laboratory exercises. Proper instrument usage is emphasized in the laboratory, as is the proper acquisition, handling and processing of gathered data. There is a significant communication emphasis since all experimental results are documented in formal laboratory reports. Both manual and computerized data acquisition methods will be utilized, and appropriate computer software programs will be used.
