4. Problem Background
Students in the Mechanical Engineering department currently take a sequence of experimental courses, one of which is MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab.
The goal is to have a common lecture period for all sections, and then a weekly, simpler experiments that students will also run independently.

5. Problem Statement and Deliverables
The purpose of this project is to design and produce a number of laboratory modules that will eventually be used in the engineering course MECE – 301 Engineering Applications Lab
Three to four modules used to provide a set of advanced investigative scenarios that will be simulated by theoretical and/or computational methods.

6. Stakeholders
RIT ME students
RIT ME professors
MSD Team

7. Use Scenarios
In the lab students will analyze a module which inspire an experiment which will include a theoretical, and experimental analysis of the module.
After completing this experiment, the students should have a firmer grasp on basic engineering principles and processes.

9. Prioritized List of Needs
Requests 3 modules at minimum; 4 or 5 are preferred
Modules may be of different technical challenge and complexity
All modules must emphasize practical engineering experiences.
All modules should be interesting to the students
All modules should bridge applications areas, such as electromechanical or electrochemical
All modules should use commercially-off-the-shelf equipment to enable maintenance and sustainability of module use over many semesters of student enjoyment
At least one module should have analysis challenges that are at or beyond student learning from core coursework

10. Prioritized List of Needs cont.
All modules should be able to be fully configured, utilized, and returned by student engineers
All modules should be able to stand alone; they should contain everything they need without borrowing from other sources
All modules should have a high level of flexibility and expansion allowing for many engineering opportunities
All modules must be robust and safe
