Learning Outcomes
1. Comprehension of the non-destructive testing basic principles and categorization of the principal flaws due to fabrication, processing, and use of specific apparatuses.
2. Study and analysis of particular non-destructive testing methods and their contribution in the prediction, estimation, and correction of flaws.
3. Assimilation of the main operation concepts of microwave resonators in media characterization. 4. Investigation of the dielectric properties of various media. 5. Design, parametric analysis, development, fabrication and measurement of a prototype measurement system, as part of a project. Theoretical analysis of the involved electromagnetic phenomena, fabrication of the prototype by means of specialized laboratory procedures, simulation and parametric analysis through several computational methods, and sample measurement for a variety of real-world scenarios.
6. Familiarization with the advanced laboratory facilities and equipment and development of certain numerical techniques for the simulation of the designed prototypes.
