Purpose
• Enhance fundamental engineering learning with lab experiments
• Gain experience and improve experimental techniques
• Improve data reduction and analysis skills• Improve written communication skills
Outcomes
• Mastery• Competence• Awareness
Course Mastery Outcomes• Ability to perform curve-fitting of multivariate
data sets• Ability to calculate the error/uncertainty
propagation for calculations that include multiple terms with uncertainties.
• Writing and editing clear and effective laboratory reports, including the creation of “professional quality” graphics for figures, tables, plots and charts.
Course Competence Outcomes• Ability to use common measurement equipment• Ability to apply previously-learned engineering
concepts to compare theoretical predictions with actual experimental results in diverse, practical mechanical engineering experiments.
• Ability to program and use CNC machines to manufacture simple parts
• An ability to interpret tensile test data
Course Awareness Outcome
• Awareness of Design of Experiments (DOE) statistical techniques
• DOE Exercise will give you a chance to interpret a test matrix
Spelling and Grammar
• Write in the 3rd person• Use spelling and grammar checker in Word• Adopt the style of a textbook or journal article• See formal report guidelines in lab notes• “Write smart”
– “Outlying data were rejected.” instead of “Bad data was thrown out.”
– Edit your work to be concise!!

Can “outlying” data be ignored?
• Determine if there is a physical basis for the suspect data (i.e., the TC broke, etc.)
• Chauvenet’s criteria for data rejection
Chauvenet’s criteria
1. Calculate xave and for data set2. Get dmax/ for the specific sample size from a
table3. Calculate dmax = (dmax/) × 4. Determine if the most “reject-able” data is
larger than this value, d = |xave – xi|5. Reject outlying data and then recalculate xave
and for data set
Chauvenet’s Example
Chauvenet’s Example4 (5 data points, n=5)23 Average = 6.2175 Standard Deviation = 6.14
Which one to reject? Technically, examine at them all Realistically, focus on “17”

How sure are you of your data?• All measurement instruments have a degree of
uncertainty when taking a reading• Uncertainty values for a particular instrument
is usually given or can be determined• For calculated parameters, the uncertainty is a
function of the uncertainties of the measured parameters.
Uncertainty calculation
• Report uncertainty as a % of calculated value

Regression Analysis• Pertains to reporting of a “least-square” or
other type of curve fit to your data
• You must report the equation and the correlation coefficient (R) or the coefficient of determination (R2)
• R-values should be presented with the equation and a graph of the data
Formal Report
• Abstract• Introduction• Experimental Apparatus• Results and Discussion• Conclusions and Recommendations• Appendices
– Uncertainty analysis– Data
Abstract (250 words)
• Purpose• What was done?• Significant parameters measured or set• Measurement results (summarized)• Quantitative comparisons (i.e., to published
values)
Introduction
• Provide background information• Establish significance of work• Introduce work and motivation for experiment• Introduce equations that are pertinent to data
analysis and purpose of the lab
Experimental Apparatus
• Describe experimental equipment configuration using schematic diagrams
• Explain test procedure• Present any calibration data• Show (tabulate) all uncertainty values
measurements that were taken
Results and Discussion
• Present results (analyzed data) in graphical form
• Discuss results and sources of error (explain why the data did what it did)
• Develop logical and reasonable explanations with regard to data behavior
• Make quantitative comparisons• Discuss uncertainty and if it accounts for any
known or obvious discrepancies
Conclusions and Recommendations
• Summarize results quantitatively• Summarize any comparisons• Start with results of most importance or
significance• Address all significant points• Make sound recommendations
– Things that could be improved– Additional work that could be done
