Test & Evaluation
“Antennas are the wave source of communications. The better we understand them, the more successful we will be in the future.”
Jerry Oglesby, antenna engineering certificate recipient and EMI test engineer (Harris Corporation)
Whether your field is command and control, radio frequency electronics, or ISR, learn to better leverage, conduct, or supervise test & evaluation projects. Master how to draft a T&E Management Plan, apply experimental design to problems, use modeling & simulation to improve tests, leverage high performance computing, and how to apply T&E to specific challenges.
Courses In This Subject
- Applied Design of Experiments for Test and Evaluation (DEF 5007P)—
This course provides lessons and case studies of the application of Design of Experiments (DOE) in Test and Evaluation (T&E)
- Design of Experiments (DEF 5003P)—
