Title: Apply measuring skills using instrumentation.
Course: Engineering Explorations I (21005-I) > Section: Practicing Engineering Fundamentals

Application should include

- accurately measuring linear distance, mass, energy, and power with the appropriate measurement devices
- determining significant digits (number of digits beyond the decimal point to determine accuracy of measurement or tolerance)
- encouraging the use of modern electronic measuring equipment and probes (possibly borrowing equipment or asking for guests to demonstrate [i.e., surveying]).

Process/Skill Questions:

- Why is it important to make multiple measurements of the same object/item?
- Why should one use significant digits in calculations/measuring?
- How does one measure the volume of the lab?
- What tools does one use to measure length, mass, energy, etc.?
