Laboratory
Policy: ME 310-Introduction to Fluid Mechanics
- Reports: Reports are vital part of good engineering practice. They
permit the organization, condensation, analysis, interpretation, and
transmission of meaningful results. For more details see
laboratory policies.
- Preparation and Procedures: Experiments will be conducted in groups
under the guidance of the instructor. You are expected to review the
material prior to class to expedite completion of the experiment. The
instructor may implement pre-lab quizzes if students consistently arrive
unprepared for class.
- Grading: Lab reports are graded out of 100 points. Failure to use
the template will result in the
immediate loss of 50 points. Reports are due by midnight two weeks after
they were performed, unless otherwise instructed. Late reports will be penalized
10% per day, without exception. There will be no opportunity
to make up work which has been missed because of an unexcused absence or
tardiness. If conditions develop which cause you
to miss laboratory work please contact your lab instructor as soon as possible
in advance of the scheduled laboratory.
- Laboratory Grades: The laboratory grade will be based on the
average grade received for of all the laboratory experiments conducted. The
grade for each experiment will be based on the following: (a) Written
reports and (b) Instructor's evaluation of each student's work in the
laboratory (participation in discussion, laboratory procedures,
inquisitiveness, etc.).
- Satisfactory Laboratory Performance: A laboratory grade in excess
of 60 % ("D") or better will be considered satisfactory performance, while a
lab grade below 60 % ("F") will be considered to be unsatisfactory. All lab
reports must be satisfactorily submitted to pass the lab section of this
course.
