Getting Started with Thermal Analysis provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the principles and applications of thermal analysis in materials science. Participants will engage in a project-based learning environment, where they will explore various thermal analysis techniques, including differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA). The course emphasizes hands-on experience, allowing learners to conduct experiments, analyze data, and interpret results effectively.
Throughout the program, participants will enhance their skills in evaluating material properties through thermal methods, preparing them for roles in research, development, and quality control within various industries. The course culminates in a final project that encourages participants to publish their findings in Cademix Magazine, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and professional growth.
