JF Engineering Labs

Peleus

I'm in a dilly of a pickle with these labs. I'm doing the physics labs with Igor Schvetz right now and i'm a bit confused. He told us to take a lab report sheet and write it up for the next lab session. I have it now but I'm not 100% sure on how to fill it in.

I'd really love if there was a sample report available somewhere. Are there any engineers out there who know how to fill these things in or know of an online vesrion of a sample report?

And to the JF engineers, whats with all the emails about labs we're getting. They all seem to contradict eachother and theyre really confusing! Can anyone explain whats going on?

Those things are fairly annoying alright. In the lab handbook you get theres a rough description for what is meant to go in each box.

You best bet is to read that and just do your best, from what i remember not too many people got good marks in those write ups anyway

(This is conditional that they didn't change since i did them 3 years ago)

Jonathan

Yea they are a major pain the arse.

You will be glad when you are doing the chemistry ones.

The report is done for you and you just have to fill in the tables and draw graphs etc.

mathew

Email your course co-ordinator, or get a class rep to, to clarify all the emails...
He's Mr Conor Spillane, email is in your handbook, which is http://www.tcd.ie/Engineering/content/pdf/JFHandbook.pdf

As for Schvetz... The lab report was pretty annoying... I cant remeber the sections exactly, but if you post the titles Ill do my best to tell you what should be included in them..

Jonathan

In the handbook, Prof David Taylor is down as lecturing 1e8.

We didnt have him did we?

mathew

Nope...

Yep...
And he was part of the 2nd year project.. he had loads of stuff on his web page, which is now gone too.... never got a chance to save it..

David taylor was and is a legend.

Never had him, but I doubt he can be as cool as torrence...

"Whoooosh... do you know that sound is? It is the sound of the air rushing over the wind turbines"

Boston

There pretty much both legends in their own ways, but overall I'd go with Taylor.

I suggest that you don't bother reading the emails.

Hahah.. he told us last year: "it is ok if you don't understand gauss' law first time. It took me two lectures to understand it when I was learning it as a child."

Man Peleus I was just coming home to create a thread just like this! I have to write up Hooke's Law, what have you got? I have no idea what to do, but I'm gonna do it! ...in a minute...

Brian

I'm still trying to figure who is what user on boards..

I am neither of those people. What report do you have to write up?

Brian

Pendulum.. Colby Sawyer grey t-shirt.

I know of one that definately doesnt :P

Ah the pendulum experiment was the best of the lot.. It was the exact same as the Leaving Cert physics one, and the graph worked out perfectly..

Physics labs reports are the worst of the lot.. but do remember the headings, because when you get to the E, C and M labs, you have to type the whole thing up your self, so the headings give you a bit of direction...

Take an extra report form or something to keep as reference..

Heh I don't take too much notice of t shirts. You're not partnered with a guy called Brian by any chance are you? He's the only one I know who was doing the pendulum...

Brian

Erm, my name's Brian..

Yeah. Was that you calling out to me? Someone said something to me when they walked past but I thought it was about there being a badminton racquet in my bag..

I was with the guy calling something out to you... He was calling you cool or something cause you had an eee.

Brian

Oh right. I was convinced he was saying "fair play", then something about my bag, which contained a badminton racquet, thus indicating that I was brave for playing a sport conceived as somewhat effeminate. Mleh.

Slightly off topic, but can we access the "local" page on the tcd website the way the lecturers can? I went to go on to it to download the 1e7 lecture for this lab thing tomorrow, but it wasn't there! So no lecture for me:(. Ah well. I don't think many people will have it...

By the consummate power of Google invested in me, I deliver.

This what your looking for

User name and Password are you college ones you got when you registered

You are all too slow :P

HAHA 3 of us responded with the same link :P

We are all too efficient for our own good

Brian

Actually, I don't think she even has the lecture uploaded.. it was Lecture 5 we needed, right? Mmf, Isometric is pretty elementary anyway.

I have it from last year if you want it?

mathew

As do I

Just looked at it there.. she really was a sh*te lecturer....

Would be helpful, cheers.

mathew

here

Peleus

i can't follow Bidisha at all. She keeps stopping to stare at people talking. I could swear she was crying in one of our lectures.

I think i've asked this before but what group are yous in? I think group C have graphics tomorrow.

Brian

Marvellous.

Group A. Don't have it until next week, thanks for reminding me.

mathew

Shes terrible... took my student card last year.... Man that was funny..

We didnt exactly make lecturing ~200 easy for her

ye for some reason she told us that she wasnt strict enough last year and that she was going to try hard to be stricter this year. So far it's not really working...

also, why do the second year engineers here all have websites?

mathew

Youll learn most of it again from Gareth ODonnell when you go on to sketching anyway.....

Jonathan

Ah here..

I have all ten lectures in a rar uploading to the ftp atm and mac gets the credit for uploading one lecture!

Also when she slammed the notebook of the notetaker shut.

did you get yours yet?


Peleus, just get a netsoc one..



Or if you want you can edit your cs webpage.
http://macneill.cs.tcd.ie/~username/

Only accessible from inside college or when you are on the external college proxy.

just use your name. It makes you look important if you have domain named after you
