Performing engineering / scientific experiments at a high level is much needed both in industry and in research and is considered as a field by itself in the world of engineering. This course is designed to provide students with basic concepts of measurement systems while emphasizing the limitations and measurement errors as well as ways to deal with those errors. The course is an integral course that combines different subjects from the fields of engineering and statistics to deeply understand the important characteristics of the measurement system and its features.
The main focus of the course is big facilities that convert heat to power. During the course, knowledge from thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics would be combined with an emphasis on useful tools that can be implemented while designing such facilities.
This course consists of two parts: CAD and mechanical design, where both parts of the course have a common task: design a mechanism in accordance with procedures up to a full production portfolio level.
The main course goal is to provide students with detailed knowledge of operation principles and system layout of energy conversion power plants, such as gas turbines, steam power plants, and combined cycles.
