The program emphasis is on the commonality of all measurement systems and the validation of their output signals. The content of this program is requisite before the host facility can begin to initiate data uncertainty analysis.
Representative Program Hosts: Edwards Air Force Base, U.S. Army Munitions Plant, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Naval Air Station, Sandia National Laboratories, Aerospace Engineering Test Establishment (Canadian Air Force), …..
Course Evaluation Comments:
“Most of the Systems I work with are pre-engineered. I usually maintain the system and collect data to send to the analyst. This class gave me a better understanding of my job.” Edwards Air Force Base, August 6-9, 2002
“Extremely good course. Every instrumentation engineer should take this course. Data requesters would get better data if they knew some of the pitfalls and rules emphasized in the course.” Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, May 5-8, 2003
“Tons of material covered. Instructors have extensive experience and knowledge of material.”Naval Air Station, January 5-8, 2004
“Raised my awareness of the ways measurements can be contaminated and how difficult it is to achieve good measurements. Case studies were very informative as were the papers covering work on material instabilities—also the rule of thumbs for bandwidth and rise times of pulses. Real life experiences of both presenters were valuable in providing insight.” Sandia National Laboratories, May 10-13, 2004
“First course I’ve taken since my employment that related this directly to my job. Should be required for all flight test employees and disciplines.” Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, August 23– 25, 2004
Program sponsors: TCU Department of Engineering and TCU Extended Education
2.1 CEUs will be awarded to participants upon successful conclusion of the 3-day program and 2.8 CEUs will be awarded for the 4-day program.
