01 Mar: a guest lecture by Emily Nichols, on designed experiments is coming up on 08 March. Please aim to be at class for this interesting talk and discussion afterwards.

03 Mar: there is a description of the course project posted. Please read through it, and start thinking about some ideas. We will also talk about it in class later this week.

03 Mar: The next weekly test is posted, due by Tuesday, 5 March, around noon time. Very short, only on least squares.

04 Mar: Dr. Thompson is looking to fill a summer position in acoustic emissions testing. He would like to get a person with MATLAB skills and a more process control or stats focus. The project is about detecting a specific failure mode in plastics with acoustic monitoring so that we can catch the problem faster. But the focus will be on handling data. At 5 MHz, we collect A LOT of data very fast and we need to related a change in the acoustic spectrum to the formation of a microcrack. A process control oriented person or person comfortable with PCA would be most desirable.
- I will be helping Dr. Thompson with the supervision and the data analysis part.
- Please reply to Dr. Thompson (maybe CC me) to express your interest in this project.
