THEORY AND DESIGN FOR MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS LABORATORY ME 435L Spring 2006 (31092 ME 435L -10 Wednesday 3:00PM -5:50PM Rm. 17- 1467) CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY AT POMONA DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 1 COURSE OUTLINE: Performance of instrumentation and measurement techniques using a variety of laboratory experiences and activities. Data collection, reduction and synthesis. Design methodology of a digital data acquisition measurement system. Group collaboration and team-working skill development. Project and time management skill development. Design of an experiment. CO-REREQUISITES: ME 435 INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Kevin R. Anderson Associate Professor Mechanical Engineering Department California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Office 17-2631 (909) 869-2687 [email protected] www.csupomona.edu/~kranderson1 OFFICE HOURS: See web site for latest office hour postings. LAB MANUAL: Distributed first day of class in ME 435 notes package GRADING: Lab Reports (4 @ 15% each) = 60% White Paper = 20% White Paper Speech = 20% LAB REPORTS: • Groups collect and share common data, each member of the group submits an individual write-up. Typical length of individual report is 7~8 pages including figures, tables and appendices. • Four experiments will be performed over the duration of the 10 week quarter, by groups comprised of 2 members (in some cases no more than 3). Data is collected w/in a 3 hour lab module. Each group member submits an INDIVIDUAL REPORT. •••• Individual reports are due exactly 1 week after day of data collection. See your instructor to examine representative hardcopy examples of blue ribbon reports, this will allow you to gain perspective on what is expected of you on the lab reports prior to submission for critical review. •••• Rewrite Policy: Any individual may resubmit a lab write-up a second time for critical evaluation after the lab has been graded and red-lined and handed back to that individual. The grade of the original submission and the rewrite will be averaged for the final write-up score, e.g. first submission = F, rewrite = A, average overall score = C. Rewrites are due 1 week after receipt of original red-lined individual report. BEWARE: You may receive a lower grade on a rewrite depending on whether new issues are found on the second read or not.THEORY AND DESIGN FOR MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS LABORATORY ME 435L Spring 2006 (31092 ME 435L -10 Wednesday 3:00PM -5:50PM Rm. 17- 1467) CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY AT POMONA DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 2 DRY-LABS: In the event that lab equipment is not operating, the groups will be given a set of raw data which is representative of the lab under repair. The group members will then proceed with any appropriate data analysis/synthesis/reduction WHITE PAPER (DESIGN OF AN EXPERIMENT): Data collection groups will work in teams to design an apparatus and write a test procedure for a given measurement problem to be assigned by the instructor. The white paper is a research based paper, meant to expose the student to life-long learning techniques such as performing research in the library. The white paper must include a statement of work, a comprehensive write up of the problem including a detailed propagation of uncertainty, as well as a comprehensive test procedure for execution of the proposed experiment. WHITE PAPER SPEECH: Near the end of the quarter, each group will present their solution to the Design of Experiment white paper in a PowerPoint presentation. This exercise is meant to mimic an industrial design review where feedback and criticism from the audience will be encouraged. This task is meant to enhance the students’ interdisciplinary team working skills, as well as to enhance their knowledge of contemporary issues, i.e. the ramifications of testing in the engineering profession. DEADLINES: All due dates are firm. Absolutely no extensions, no exceptions. This means you’d better start your lab reports the day that you collected the data. Be advised, putting off the write-up until the night before it is due will show through in the overall lack of quality of the finished product. ATTENDENCE: Mandatory in ME 435L since your teammate is counting on you. Arriving late or leaving Early (before that day’s module is completed) will not be tolerated. You will receive a grade of F on that day’s module if any activities such as these occur. CHEATING & PLAGIARISM:THEORY AND DESIGN FOR MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS LABORATORY ME 435L Spring 2006 (31092 ME 435L -10 Wednesday 3:00PM -5:50PM Rm. 17- 1467) CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY AT POMONA DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 3 1. Cheating is the act of behaving dishonestly for personal gain. Cheating in ME 435L will result in immediate failure of the course and the violators will be reported to the university administration. 2. Plagiarism is the act of taking the intellectual property of another and claiming it as your own. 3. Evidence of such misappropriation of other people’s work is viewed as an act of plagiarism and will be dealt with accordingly. 4. Refer to pages 52-53 of the Cal Pomona 2005-2007 Catalog for further discussion of cheating and plagiarism. LAB ETIQUETTE: • Students are expected to be on time for class and remain once lab has begun. Please be respectful of your colleagues and instructor. No profanity, cell phones, pagers, food or drinks allowed at any time. • Abandoning groups (quitting, changing partners) after the 3rd week of the quarter will not be tolerated. This is a team effort, and letting down your teammate is non-professional.THEORY AND DESIGN FOR MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS LABORATORY ME 435L Spring 2006 (31092 ME 435L -10 Wednesday 3:00PM -5:50PM Rm. 17- 1467) CALIFORNIA STATE POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY AT POMONA DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING 4 Measurements Lab ME 435L Rms. 17-1467 Laboratory Rules and Etiquette a) No food or drinks allowed in lab at any time. b) No late arrivals will be tolerated.
