Course Objectives • Introduction to experimentation as a means to acquire knowledge. • Practice applying prior knowledge and basic principles together with experimentation to physical systems in order to • gain better understanding of learned basic principles, • gain further knowledge. • Introduction to some basic mechanical and automotive systems, their underlying principles, and how they work.
Course Description Through experimentation, laboratory, practice and homework: • Experimentation and basic concepts • error and uncertainty analysis • measurement and instrumentation • data analysis • interpretation of experimental results • reporting of experimental results • basic experiments in solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and basic engine testing
Time and Place Time: • Sec 1-6: Lec: Mon 1-2 pm, Lab: Mon 2-5 pm. • Sec 7-13: Lec: Fri 1-2 pm, Lab: Fri 2-5 pm. Place: Laboratory: Laboratory locations • First floor, ME2 building • First, second, and third floor, ME1 building Presentation: Room will be announced.

Goals and Roles of Experiment Goal: Extract knowledge and useful information regarding the system of interest with reasonable justification. • new knowledge, • used in product design and development, • qualify a product according to some standard, • falsify/verify a theory, call for a new theory, • hint toward the structure or mathematical form of a theory, • etc.
Some Focuses of The Course • Observation and Question • Logic / Reasoning • Three Main Components • Problem Statement / Objective • Approach • Result / Conclusions
Knowledge and Structure of An Experiment Observation / Ask The Right Question Reasonably Justified Results/Conclusions Supporting Evidences Justification Method Problem Statement/Objective Premise: (Propositional) Knowledge is a statement (about something) that we have a reasonable justification to believe that it is reasonably true.
Report: Conclusions What are conclusions? Conclusions are convictions based on evidence. From The American Institute of Physics: AIP Style Manual, Fourth Edition: http://www.aip.org/pubservs/style/4thed/toc.html
In conclusion: Why experiment? To put simply, We can learn more. We can develop more. We can discover more.
