Welcome to ME034044 - Introduction to Experimental Methods
============================

## Course description

The course has two slightly overlapping parts. The first includes lecture and tutorial classes aimed at
teaching the basic knowledge required for designing an experimental system, planning an
experimental program, and analyzing experimental results. A good understanding of this part is
crucial for succeeding in the second part. The second part is focused on projects, in which students
are required to design (not to build) a complete experimental system, including all details. The
project assignments will describe a mechanical phenomenon to be tested, based on which students
will have to define the requirements from the experimental system and its components. Then,
students will have to choose appropriate sensors and to design the system and the experimental campaign. During the second part,
several pre-schedueld guidance meetings.

## Attendance

Attendance in all course hours, as listed in the table below, is mandatory. This includes all lectures,
tutorials, guidance meetings, and project presentation meetings. Students who have a serious
problem preventing them from attending class should discuss it in advance with the lecturer.

## Assignments and grading
The final grade will be combined of:
* Project abstract: 10% (**mandatory**).
* First project presentation: 45% (**mandatory**). Projects will be held by groups of 3 students. 
* Second project presentation: 45% (**mandatory**). Projects will be held by groups of 3 students.
