MER 262 - Research and Writing in ME

Course Units: 1

Project-based sophomore-level course for mechanical engineers that integrates three fundamental skills required for successful mechanical engineering communication: library research, data analysis, and scientific writing. The course teaches searching, interpreting, and communicating mechanical engineering literature. The basics of analyzing large
engineering datasets using MATLAB code are covered, including visualization and numerical differentiation/integration. Conventions of writing in mechanical engineering are practiced through writing assignments based on analysis of large datasets. Corequisite(s): MER 201 or MER 231 CC: WAC-R
