gap.The laboratory provides them a chance to experiments with measurements of static and stagnationvalues of two important parameters, namely pressure and temperature, in high-speed flows and torealize that common temperature measurements are not always what they are supposed to representin theory.IntroductionA course in experimental methods was previously taught jointly for students in the mechanicalengineering and aerospace engineering programs. This second-year course provides anintroduction to experimentation in engineering. It aims to develop key skills such as test planning,understanding measurement chains, analyzing the metrological characteristics of instruments, aswell as identifying measurement errors and propagating uncertainties
