2 For Reference: Fundamentals of Sensors for Engineering & Science, by Patrick Dunn, CRC Press, 2011 ISBN Final Exam (AME20213 course): There is no in-lab exam for AME lab. Catalog Description: This is a required course for BSAE and BSME. Prerequisites: AME 20211: Intro to Aeronautics; or AME 20214: Intro to Engineering Computing. Introduction to experimental methods used in aerospace and mechanical engineering, including basic instrumentation, data acquisition and data analysis techniques. Both the Fall and Spring courses are required. Lab content: This lab introduces the fundamental techniques of practical experimentation. The main topics that will be covered include: sensors, measurement systems, calibration and response, electronics, temperature, light, signal characteristics, data sampling, data analysis, linear regression. Learning goals: At the conclusion of the Lab, the student should: (1) understand the basics of experimentation (types of experiments, units, and technical reporting), (2) become familiar with the hardware of experiments (sensors, electronics, measurement systems components, system calibration, and system response), and (3) know the methods of data analysis (linear regression, signal characteristics and signal analysis). Advance reading: You will be assigned lab handouts ahead of lab that you are expected to read. This will enable more lab time to be devoted to performing the lab with fewer questions. You will also be able to complete the lab in a timely manner. Lab Extensions: There will be no extensions or make-up quizzes for the lab (AME 21213) for computer malfunctions. It is the student s responsibility to know how to use Sakai. Hint: Square boxes mean there are multiple correct answers that must be chosen. Lab attendance: Attendance is MANDATORY. Failure to attend lab as scheduled will result in no credit for the lab in question. Students unable to attend their scheduled lab for non-emergency or illness reasons must contact Professor Ott (for the lab missed) five days in advance. A university excused absence is required to make up the lab. Missed labs will require a title page on their report, and an initialed (by Professor Ott) excused absence form. The title page will include your Notre Dame ID number (name is optional but appreciated), day/time of lab, original due date, and extended due date. These two pages will not count as part of the seven page limit. You are required to be on time for all lab experiments. There will be a 10% penalty for late arrival.

10 Emergency Action Plan Fitzpatrick/Cushing Hall 2015 In the event of a tornado: seek shelter in the A or B levels of Fitzpatrick Hall. Fitzpatrick/Cushing Assembly Area: In the event that the building has to be evacuated, occupants should leave the building through the nearest exit and meet away from the building. Go northeast of the building towards O Saughnessy Hall. Nearest Automated External Defibrilator (A.E.D.): Fitzpatrick Hall, 1 st floor B14 Lab Safety Spill Kit is located in the cabinet under the sink near the Safety Eyewash Station. I. Authority Authority for this Action Plan is contained in OSHA regulations as promulgated in 29CFR II. Mission The mission of the University of Notre Dame, within this plan, is to minimize the local effects of a disaster or other emergency situation upon the University community through the appropriate use of available personnel, facilities, and equipment. The objective is to outline a plan so that the emergencies can be dealt with immediately in a logical and coherent manner. The intention of the Emergency Action Plan is not to establish policy, but to create a framework which will allow an immediate response to an emergency without impeding the initial response or requiring policy decisions to be made first. It provides a mechanism to identify and coordinate available University resources to most effectively respond to the anticipated needs generated by an emergency situation. III. The Action Plan The Emergency Action plan (A.E.P.) designates security as the initial contact for reporting all emergency situations and as the central point of communication during the response and resolution of all emergencies. Upon receiving the initial contact, the Security Officer in Charge (OIC) will make an initial judgement about the level of response necessary and communicate with the appropriate personnel as outlined in the attached plan. Emergency Situations Include: Fire Weather Emergency Medical Emergency Structural Failure Utility Emergency Bomb Threat Catastrophic Terrorist Attack Chemical/Biological/Radiological Hazards Active Shooter/Violence Intruders Disturbance Missing Person These are general guidelines. Each emergency situation will dictate the type of emergency response needed. IV. Emergency reporting and Evacuation All building occupants should be aware of emergency reporting and evacuation procedures. They should learn the location and operation of fire alarms and fire extinguishers in the work area. Employees are authorized and have the responsibility to use them in an actual emergency. Each employee should know the location of at least two exits in the building. These are identified through floor plans, demarcation of doors as EXITS and discussion with supervisor or Security Department Representative. The Risk Management & Safety Department, in conjunction with Notre Dame s Fire and Security/Police Departments, has developed these general emergency evacuation procedures, and each department should supplement these procedures with department-specific information. These procedures she be posted in every department and distributed to all building occupants. Each department is responsible for ensuring that there employees and students are aware of the proper emergency evacuation procedures. Each department is also required to develop procedures to account for activities being conducted in the department, established a designated assembly location to account for individuals after evacuation, etc. Risk File: F17_E0_Lab_Syllabus.docx.docx 10 Last Revision: 8/24/17

11 Management & Safety can assist departments in developing and reviewing these procedures. With the exception of personnel and crowd evacuation, most operations on campus are not deemed critical to have personnel remain at their work sites. Exceptions will be noted as necessary. A. General Evacuation Procedures: All occupants are required to evacuate the building immediately when a fire alarm sounds, or other evacuation signal is given. Fire doors should never be blocked open, and doors and stairways should not be obstructed. In the event of uncontrolled fire, smoke, chemical spills, or other emergency situations, building occupants should: a. Notify Security Police dispatch (911 or ) and provide: i. Your name ii. Building iii. Exact location of emergency iv. Type and extent of emergency b. Close all doors to the room containing the fire or other hazard when leaving. c. Activate the fire alarm at the nearest manual station located in the hallway, if possible. d. Never use an elevator in the case of fire or smoke. e. Leave the building through the nearest exit. Some buildings have evacuation routes posted in hallways. f. Meet at the designated assembly location outside the building. Do not assemble in Fire Lanes. g. Do not re-enter the building until given clearance from the Notre dame Fire Dept. or its designee. B. If you are trapped in a building because of smoke, heat, flames, or other hazards and cannot find an escape route: a. Close the door in your room. Seal door cracks and ventilation grills with cloth or wetted towels or clothing, if possible. b. Contact security at 911 and give your exact location to the dispatcher. c. Smoke accumulates at the ceiling and works its way down, so stay close to the floor where the air is fresh. d. Remain calm as help is on the way. C. Persons Needing Assistance During both evacuations and drills, persons needing assistance should be helped to the nearest fire escape window or door or stairway for their increased protection, and to make rescue easier for trained rescue personnel. In no case should emergency action obstruct exit routes or subject others to injury. D. Rescue/Medical Response To the extent possible, rescue and/or medical duties should be performed only by qualified persons including but not limited to ND Security Police, ND Fire Dept., or other trained medical personnel. V. Weather emergencies Flood In the event of a flood in or around a building, all occupants should move to the highest level of the building with a point of exit. Evacuate quickly, quietly, and in an orderly fashion as directed by security officials or its designee. Lightning A typical lightning bolt contains several hundred million volts at 30,000 amperes. If you are inside: 1. Do not leave the building during a tornado warning. 2. All occupants should move to an interior room or hall on the lowest level and avoid windows and large rooms, auditoriums, or gymnasiums. 3. Get in a crouched position, head between knees with hands protecting the back of the head. Warning sirens Are designed for notifying persons of imminent severe weather. In addition, the university will issue an ND alert notifying the campus of a threat. All Clear the siren will not issue an all clear. Once the NWS lifts the warning, a second All Clear Alert message will be sent using the public address systems on campus. The notification is also available via radio or television. Warning sirens are tested at 11:30 am the 1 st Thursday of each month. VI. Active Shooter/Violence If an active shooter occurs in your vicinity, think OUT!. Figure Out: Determine what is going on and where. Get Out: If you are in a building and there is an accessible escape, attempt to leave the premises. 1. Have an escape route and plan in mind; leave your belongings behind; follow police instructions. 2. Call NDSP if possible and provide what information you can, including the location and number of shooter(s), a description of the shooter(s), any weapons used and potential victims. Hide Out: If evacuation is not possible, find a place to hide where the shooter is less likely to find you: 1. Hide in an area out of the shooter s field of view; provide protection; lock and blockade the doors if possible; block entry to your hiding place; silence your cell phone. In all cases, call NDSP as soon as you can safely do so and provide what information you can; wait for law enforcement. Take Out: As a last resort, only when your life is in imminent danger, attempt to disrupt or take out the shooter. 1. Act as aggressively as possible against him/her; yell, throw and commit to your actions. File: F17_E0_Lab_Syllabus.docx.docx 11 Last Revision: 8/24/17
