# Experimental Mechanics One of the three graduate level courses I took the first semester of school at RPI. If there was a message that I could give myself prior class registration is to have taken only one or at most two 6000 level courses and drop either [Solid Mechanics](https://nkintc.gitbook.io/brainless/engr-math/fluid-mechanics/solid-mechanics) or Tribology because the combination of all three, in addition to beginning to conduct research and the responsibilities of being a teaching assistant in for Physics lab was just too much for my first semester. But this course just had so much practical knowledge and was taught by a wonderful professor that I have no regrets learning these concepts. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://nkintc.gitbook.io/brainless/steam/engineering/experimental-mechanics.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
