ME 340 Dynamic Systems and Measurements (3 cr.)


Syllabus
Laboratory Outcomes

Outcomes: After completion of this course, the students should be able to:

1) Apply basic knowledge of measurement systems towards measurements, including error analysis, interpretation, experimental uncertainty, calibration etc. [a3, a4]

2) Apply basic concepts of measurement systems with electrical signals, including signal conditioners (gain, attenuation), indicating and recording devices. [a2, a4]

3) Apply probability and statistics to interpret experimental data, which has some variability and randomness. [a3]

4) Apply basic concepts of frequency response, gain, damping in measurement systems. [b,k4]

5) Analyze and select digital instrumentation systems for measurement. [a4]

6) Apply basic concepts in measurement of strain and stress, pressure, temperature, fluid velocity, and fluid flow to solution of given problems. [a4,e]

7) Solve engineering problems presented in textbook, homework and lab; orally communicate some results in class discussions. [a4,g]

8) Analyze dynamic systems and measuring devices including transient response and frequency respones. [a4]

9) Apply basic mathematical concept to identify first and second order dynamic systems. [a4]
