Modeling and design of experiments

Course Project for master students

Modeling the time taken by a cylinder with a variable moment of inertia

Project Overview: In this group project, you and your team will undertake a comprehensive experimental campain to model empirically the behaviour of a cylinder rolling down a slope.  The objective is to deepen your understanding of experimental design concepts by applying them to a real-world scenario. The project will unfold over several weeks, incorporating key milestones.

Assessment Criteria:

• Quality of the intermediary and final reports.
• Effectiveness of the experimental design and the statistical analysis.
• Collaboration within the team and incorporation of peer feedback.
• Individual performance in the oral exam.

This project offers a hands-on opportunity to apply the concepts learned in the course to a technological device. Embrace the challenges, engage in meaningful discussions within your team, and enjoy the learning journey. Good luck!
