Learn to plan and carry out experiments. Coverage includes measurement fundamentals, basic statistical concepts, and uncertainty analysis. Use of statistics for the purpose of analyzing data, including regression, correlation, hypothesis testing, classification, time series analysis, and design of experiments. Prereq., APPM 2360. Prerequisites: Restricted to graduate students in College of Engineering and Applied Science or to students with 57-180 credits (Junior or Senior) or Mechanical Engineering Concurrent Degree students.

Carry out several experiments designed to teach methods of experimentation and data analysis. Experiments taken from solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermal science, and materials science. Emphasizes planning an experiment, applying sound procedures, keeping proper records, and communicating results orally and in written reports. Gives students the opportunity to participate in projects that extend over two or more weeks. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisites of ECEN3010 (or ECEN2260) & MCEN2063 (or CVEN3161 or ASEN3112) & MCEN3037 (or APPM4520 or 4570 or CVEN3227 or CHEN3010) & WRTG3030 (or WTRG3035 or HUEN3100 or PHYS3050). Restricted to MCEN majors w/57-180 credits (juniors/seniors).

Four hours of lab per week. Student teams perform laboratory projects that extend over several weeks. Takes experiments from solid mechanics, acoustics, electronics, and other ME-related disciplines. Emphasizes planning an experiment, applying sound experimental procedures, using statistics, keeping proper records, and communicating results orally, on posters, and in written documents. Prerequisites: Requires prerequisite courses of MCEN 2024 and MCEN 4037. Restricted to College of Engineering and Applied Science graduate students or senior BS/MS Mechanical Engineering or Concurrent Degree students.
