This is the 2.672 web site
Engineering
laboratory subject for mechanical engineering juniors and seniors. Major
emphasis on interplay between analytical and experimental methods in solution
of research and development problems. Communication (written and oral) of
results is also a strong component of the course. Groups of two or three
students work together on three projects during the term.
Limitations on Course Enrollment
The ideal size for each lab section is 10 students, with an absolute maximum of 15 students per section. If the number of students pre-registered for 2.672 exceeds the maximum for the scheduled number of lab sections, some students will be asked to take 2.672 in a following semester. If the course is full, students that have not pre-registered will not be able to enroll
Priority will be given to Course 2 seniors, then Course 2 majors over non-majors. Students that do not have all the pre-requeisites cannot enroll.
If you need to change from your assigned lab section due to a conflict
with another class, you must email Dr. Barbara
Hughey by 5 PM on Registration Day. For this reason, it is best for
you to pre-register for all the classes you expect to take, so that you
will be automatically enrolled in a non-conflicting lab section.
