UMASS Lowell - ME 22.302
Mechanical Engineering Lab I
University of Massachusetts Lowell Mechanical Engineering
ME22.302 Mechanical Engineering Lab course requires students
to become familar with instrumentation used in the common mechanical
measurements. Students work in teams of 3 students in acquiring data
in a variety of different labs. These pages contain some brief overview
material pertaining to each of the lab setups. There are separate lab
writeups for each of the lab exercises that should be used for specific
discussion on each lab. (Note: Your browser must be configured to
