MAE 3183 – Measurements Laboratory II 1 Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering University Of Texas at Arlington Measurements Lab II - MAE 3183 – RM 219 WH Instructor: Dr. P. S. Shiakolas Office: 315 D WH Phone: (817) 272-5715 Email: [email protected] Office Hours: Wed 1:15 – 2:20 pm and By Appointment GTA: Mr. Mohsin Rizwan & Mr. Salman Khan Office: 113 WH Office Hours: TBD Prerequisites with a C or better: MAE 2381 (Measurements I), 3310 (Thermodynamics I), 3314 (Heat Transfer), 3319 (Dynamic System Modeling and Simulation), and EE 2320 (Circuit Analysis) (or concurrent enrollment). Note: If you do not have ALL prerequisites you should contact Dr. Shiakolas immediately Course Description: Fundamental measurement techniques and experimental data analysis in mechanical engineering in the fields of thermal, fluid, structures, design, and dynamic systems. Introduction to sensor calibration, digital data acquisition, uncertainty analysis, and report writing. Course objectives: To provide an understanding of fundamental measuring techniques, obtain measurements and analyze said measurements based on engineering principles for a number of experiments/engineering applications in order to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Topics covered: Basic Concepts, Uncertainty Analysis, Report and Memorandum writing procedures, Digital and Analog Data Collection and Analysis Course Learning Outcomes: (b) Design & Conduct Experiments This is a laboratory course and you are required to come prepare to the lab in order to conduct a series of experiments. In conducting the experiments you are required to familiarize yourselves first with safety issues and subsequently with the hardware, the type of measured equipment and software to be used for conducting the experiment. You are required to record your measurements on the provided sheets or save them in electronic format where applicable. The data sheets must be signed by the instructor or the teaching assistant once the experiment is completed and before the students leave the lab. (g) Communicate Effectively You are required to come prepared for each experiment to be performed by studying the lab manual and be ready to effectively communicate the theory and fundamentals of the experiment to the instructor through a weekly short question and answer period. You are required to analyze the experimentally collected data using theory available in your lab manuals or your previous course work and engineering software for data analysis and graphing. You are required to write professional technical formal lab reports or memoranda (you will be informed when a memorandum should be written) for each laboratory experiment performed. The reports should follow the procedures and format in the lab writing manual. Key Assignments In order to earn a passing grade in the class, you should perform all the laboratory exercises, and obtain a passing grade (>60%) for all technical reports and in addition a passing grade (>60%) on the frequency response experiment both for the Q&A and technical report independently.MAE 3183 – Measurements Laboratory II 2 SAFETY NOTE You MUST wear EYE Protection and CLOSED TOE Shoes At ALL times in the lab Lab Assignments: You will form groups of two during the first two class meetings. A lab schedule will be posted on the class web page. The experiments and reports are a group effort. If a group member does not show up for the lab session, he/she will get a grade of zero for the experiment unless arrangements are made to perform it later and submit an individual report. You must prepare before coming to the lab by reading and understanding the theory for the experiment you are assigned to perform. You must also prepare an individual pre‐lab report (both electronic and written) and submit it when you come to class. The TA and/or the instructor reserve the right to question you on the theoretical aspects of the experiment (15% of lab grade). If you are not fully prepared, you may be asked not to perform the experiment, restudy the material and retested in the lab or asked to leave and make arrangements to perform the experiment at a different day (based on GTA schedule and availability). The penalties for late performance and report write‐up will be enforced. The TA or Dr. Shiakolas reserve the right to ask anyone for information appearing in their lab report, and if you cannot answer, then you will be penalized. Experiments will be performed according to the schedule, and the reports both written and electronic must be turned in at the beginning of the following class meeting. The first graded report will be available for you on time, usually a day or two before the next report is due to allow enough time for you to correct, if needed, the report to be turned in on the next experiment. In addition to the printed reports, you are required to provide an electronic version of the submitted report ‐ bring it with you on flash drive or other removable media device. You will not be allowed to perform the assigned lab if the electronic version of the previous report is not turned in. In addition, you must upload your electronic reports to blackboard (http://www.uta.edu/blackboard) the same day the report is due. The upload to blackboard will be based on experiment number and not week number. If you are not familiar I urge you to go through the online training. Q&A session and Written Report Clarification: All the Q&A sessions and the reports/memos for all the labs are to be treated as examinations for which you are getting credit for them. The purpose is to assess your understanding of the theory behind the material that the experiment addresses so at the end you will have a better understanding of the material and also to evaluate your preparation for performing the experiment in a safe manner for you and your classmates. You are not allowed to discuss the Q&A sessions and questions asked with other students in any of the sessions for this class, and you are not allowed to share your reports. If in doubt when to collaborate with anyone, just ask the instructor or the GTA. Also, if reports from previous or current semesters are used for any reason, this will be considered as unauthorized usage and cheating. Should it be found out that unauthorized collaboration or cheating is taking place actions will be taken according to the university policies, the university Academic
