Aim:
The course aims to give understanding and skills to perform, document and analyse experiments in the area of engineering mechanics. The learning outcomes are fulfilled if the student can:
- recognize and present basic principles in engineering mechanics experiments.
- use physical quantities within the area of engineering mechanics and present the underlying phenomena which both historically and contemporary constitutes the basics for engineering quantification of properties of machines.
- summarize and present information collected from experiments by use of modern measurement methodology, statistics and evaluation.
The skill based outcomes aim to give the student the ability to:
- show good skills when using measurement methods and instruments typical for mechanical workshops, production control and data collection.
- design and realize experiments in a scientific manner.
- realize experiments in a safe manner and according to existing directives.
- document, report and communicate achieved results in for an engineer adequate way.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Linear algebra, thermodynamics, CAD.
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
|
|
Supplementary courses:
Mechanics, Solid mechanics, Manufacturing engineering, Fluid mechanics and heat transfer, Engineering materials, Mechanical design methodology and product development.

Organisation:
The main part of the course composes 6 different modules where each module illustrates a different part within the area of experimental engineering mechanics. Each module can contain one or more laboratory works. In some of the modules the experiments won�?Tt be available without preparation work from the students. Each module contains a presentation, either written, oral, poster or through digital media.
In addition to the modules, the course contains a number of lectures/seminars illustrating the area of experimental engineering mechanics where subjects such as science, measurement methodology, statistics and safety are presented.
The course runs over the entire spring semester.
