Grading

ACTIVITIESPERCENTAGES
Pre-Lab Exercises30%
Lab Checkoffs30%
Lab Reports40%

There are no quizzes or exams. The lab grades will depend upon the lab report/pre-lab and upon an individual oral checkoff with the teaching staff. The pre-lab will be due the week before the lab itself.

Note: The course this year will have 5 labs and no final project.


Grad Students: To Receive G Credit

While the course is now an undergraduate elective at the senior level, graduate students may receive G credit by requesting this from the Mechanical Engineering Graduate Officer.
