ENGR 1103 Engineering Analysis Lab

In this course, students will learn and apply integral calculus and scientific principles to develop analytical solutions for engineering problems. Students will learn how to devise experiments, collect and analyze data, and conduct basic error analysis. The course will be structured as individual experimental modules to get hands-on experience with fundamental instruments including power supplies, sensors, electromechanical components, and computer-based data acquisition systems. Following this course, students will be equipped to apply quantitative analytical techniques to a variety of practical engineering problems.
