|
| Expected Prior Knowledge |
Prior knowledge of strength of materials, machine design, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, dynamics and system control and measurement techniques. |
| Co-requisites |
None |
| Registration Restrictions |
Only Undergraduate Students |
| Overall Educational Objective |
To acquire skills in conducting mechanical engineering experiments, collecting and analyzing data. |
| Course Description |
Hands-on experience in dynamics, control, strength of materials, manufacturing, fluid mechanics and heat transfer is provided. Emphasis is on the understanding of fundamental principles as well as familiarity with modern experimentation. Lectures at the beginning of the course provide background information and theories of experimentation. Student groups perform ten experiments in dynamics, control, strength of materials, manufacturing, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Report writing is an integral part of the course, with focus on design of experiment, processing, analysis, interpretation and presentation of data, error analysis, and conclusions. |
| Course Description in Turkish |
Bu derste dinamik, kontrol, mukavemet, imalat, akışkanlar mekaniği ve ısı transferi konularıyla ilgili deneyler yapılmaktadır. Bu deneylerde, temel prensiplerin anlaşılması ve modern deney tekniklerinin tanıtılması öne çıkmaktadır. Derslerin başlangıcında gerekli bilgiler ve deney teorileri sunulmaktadır. Öğrenci grupları dinamik, kontrol, mukavemet, imalat, akışkanlar mekaniği ve ısı transferi ana alanlarında on deney yapmaktadırlar. Deney raporlarının yazılması dersin önemli bir kısmını oluşturmakta ve deneylerin tasarımı, toplanan deney verilerinin işlenmesi, analizi, yorumu ve sunumu ile hata analizi üzerinde odaklanmaktadır. |
