Contribution of course to meeting the professional component

This course contributes primarily to the students' knowledge of engineering topics, but does not provide design experience.

The following statement indicates which of the following considerations are included in this course: economic, environmental, ethical, political, societal, health and safety, manufacturability, sustainability.

This laboratory provides experience in engineering measurement and experimentation. It also demonstrates the principles established classroom courses. Attention is paid to use of computers for data acquisition and analysis, and to statistical analysis of experimental results.

In addition to the technical content, students are given instruction in proper forms of technical communication, including formal reports and memos of the type required in industry. In addition, each student gives an oral presentation.

Relationship of course to undergraduate degree program objectives and outcomes

This course primarily serves students in the department. The information below describes how the course contributes to the undergraduate program objectives.

Intensive experience in conducting laboratory experiments and analyzing and interpreting data Intensive experience in effective communication through preparation of written reports in different styles (formal and memo formats) Course reinforces concepts of Transport Phenomena lecture course through demonstration, hands-on experience, and experience with order of magnitude and exploration of range of applicability of transport models and predicted behavior

Assessment of student progress toward course objectives

Laboratory reports: 90%
Final exam: 10%
