ADVANCED EXPERIMENTAL INSTRUMENTATION

ME 770

Theory and design of instruments for transient physical phenomena especially related to internal combustion engines. Basic knowledge of kinetic theory of gases, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics for gases, and measurement theory [such asM E 601: Physics of Gases] required.

CHEMICAL INSTRUMENTATION

CHEM 524

Basic principles for designing, developing, and using chemical instrumentation and applying these principles in the laboratory. Spectroscopy, separations, and mass spectrometry instruments are emphasized.

PRECISION MEASUREMENTS

ME 768

General concepts for predicting, characterizing, and reducing noise in measurements. Address the key questions of all experimentalists: (1) How can I improve my signal-to-noise ratio? (2) What is the ultimate detection limit of my measurement approach? Knowledge of Matlab programming and basic circuit design [such asE C E 230] is required.
