  • 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.
  • 05 Mar: Project proposal emails to me must include:
    • What is your objective: describe it clearly; describe how you are going to measure it.
    • What are all possible variables that can influence your objective?
    • Which variables are you going to keep fixed in your experiments?
    • Which variables are you going to vary? Tell me the low and high levels you are going to use for each variable.
  • 06 Mar: please take a look at the software tutorial to help you use integer variables in your linear model.
