Zach Pezzementi's Engineering Lab Writeups

Here is a listing of the lab reports I wrote in web format over the years for engineering classes at Swarthmore that have been preserved over time. Most missing labs were submitted in paper form but others were simply lost to the recesses of time. For those of the pages that do not provide a complete description of the problem to be solved or refer to broken links, you can probably find the original assignment at Prof. Maxwell's teaching page under the links for the corresponding course number on the right. Also, I warn you that some of the graphics pages take a long time to load because of the size of the images.

If you're wondering what I'm up to now, check out my JHU page.
