ENGR 518 Experimental Techniques for Graduate Students
This course introduces students to the different aspects of experimental research in engineering. The course will cover fundamental issues such as: planning and design of an experimental campaign, laboratory safety, data acquisition and signal processing. State-of-the-art experimental techniques in different areas of engineering research will also be presented, with focus on modern, non-intrusive, laser-based measurement methods. The goal is provide students with the knowledge required to plan, design and conduct an experimental campaign, which they can eventually apply to their own research efforts.
