Basic Experiments in Mechanical Engineering

Course Purpose
Students will learn the basic theories necessary for mechanical engineers through experiments and simulations to support and deepen their understanding.
Learning Goals
Students will learn how to read drawings, basic skills of 3D-CAD and CAE, which are essential for mechanical engineers, and deepen their understanding of basic mechanical fields such as strength, eigenvalue, heat transfer, and flow of materials through experiments, simulations, and theoretical calculations. Through the preparation of reports, students will learn to think logically and see things objectively and will be able to write papers for presentations at academic conferences on their own.
