1) Understand the principles and procedures of each experiment, and can carry out experiments accurately and safely, and process and aggregate experimental data.
2) Can logically examine the validity of experimental data, and compile them into a report.
(3) Can work together as a group and actively contribute to fulfill their responsibilities.
Outline:
Students will learn basic academic knowledge in the main fields of mechanical engineering at Department of Mechanical Engineering empirically through experiments. In addition, they will learn the methods and sensibility of engineering analysis through the organization and analysis of experimental results. Also, we will develop teamwork spirit and leadership through the group work.
Style:
Students will split into six small groups and carry out experiments on six different themes in turn. The Course Plan shows their typical examples.
Notice:
As it's an experiment subject learned empirically, it's prerequisite that students attend classes. Also, students must submit a report by the due date, as an assignment can only complete when a report is submitted.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
