Fluid Power Lab. Lab exercises will involve working with hydraulic components and some hydraulic fluid is likely to get on clothing. Lab coats or coveralls can be purchased at local clothing stores, if desired. A clipboard or stiff folder is recommended to assist in recording lab data. Read it and any other cited references to prepare for lab, and bring it with you to the lab.
Lab reports are due at class time one week from the lab date.
However, lab reports should still be completed in the frame of mind of an engineering student, not a technology student. That is, when graphs or calculations are appropriate to the lab, explain any trends in the data from an engineer's perspective even if not asked to do so. Compare analytical or laboratory data with manufacturer's specifications where appropriate. Show example calculations. Lab reports should be organized and assembled in the following order, with page numbers on the top right corner of every page except the title page.
