EE/ME/AE 329 & CE 318 - SMART MATERIALS AND SENSORS
Smart structures with fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites and advanced sensors. Multidisciplinary topics include characterization, performance, and fabrication of composite structures; fiber optic, resistance, and piezoelectric systems for strain sensing; and applications of smart composite structures. Laboratory and team activities involve manufacturing, measurement systems, instrumented structures, and performance tests on a large-scale smart composite bridge. Prerequisites: Senior Standing and Math 204
Objectives:
- Integrate student knowledge of composites as construction materials and of associated sensor systems providing smart capability
- Build student skills for interacting in collaborative, interdisciplinary teams
- Expose students to applied techniques and systems through laboratory experiences
