Modern Engineering Experimental Methods
with Emphasis on Error Uncertainty Analysis and
Computerized Data Acquisition with LabVIEW
"If you can't measure it, you do not understand it."
"Data are the pure aspect of research and practice. The flaws are in the interpretation."
Hands-on Workshop Series Overview:
In these fast developing times, it is more important than ever that professionals maintain their competitiveness by continuing education and training about current advancements in their fields and in new areas. As changes continue, it is critical for post-graduate level employees to pursue acquisition and expansion of new knowledge and practical skills.
This series of hands-on workshops is intended to teach beginners and inter-mediate level participants the state-of-the-art practices and tools of modern Experimental Methods with emphasis on Error Uncertainty Analysis and Computerized Data Acquisition with LabVIEW. In each workshop, fundamentals and principles are discussed first and then followed by tutorial demonstrations with step-by-step instructions. Every workshop is an independent unit, but all three units are integrated to cover an important engineering area. The workshop series will be held in the modern Engineering Building classrooms and laboratories at the Northern Illinois University.
With the fundamental and practical skills learned in the workshops, participants will be able to design and perform better quality experiments in less time, implement modern hardware and software tools and a more thorough analysis, thus concurrently enhance their design, manufacturing, and process maintanance solutions with a goal to increase quality and reduce cost.

Presenter, Supporting Staff and Lab Facilities:
Professor Milivoje Kostic, Ph.D., P.E. is a faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Northern Illinois University. He received his Ph.D. in 1984 from the University of Illinois, and then worked in industry for some time. Professor Kostic's teaching and research interests are Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and related Fluid/Thermal/Energy sciences; with emphases on new technologies, experimental methods, creativity, design, and computer applications. Please visit his Web site for more information: www.kostic.niu.edu or http://www.ceet.niu.edu/faculty/kostic/
The readily available resources at a comprehensive research university - faculty, supporting staff and students, and up-to-date laboratory and computational equipment and software - will be effectively and productively used for instructions and hands-on demonstrations. The new and modern engineering Building is well equipped with the state-of-the-art laboratory apparatus and computing resources. Please see description of some related hardware and software on the Web site: www.kostic.niu.edu and www.kostic.niu.edu/DAQ-LabVIEW.html or
http://www.ceet.niu.edu/faculty/kostic/DAQdemo.htmlIf your company has or can provide appropriate equipment, any of the hands-on workshops in this series can be offered on site at your location. Call the Office of External Programming at (815) 753-6902 for details.
