Ground Penetrating Radar Instrumentation for Multidisciplinary Work

虽然在大学课程和教科书中很少出现探地雷达，但它作为一种实用工具在工程和应用科学中得到了广泛的应用。制造商的大力发展，生产出的系统并不比其他类型的工程地球物理设备贵。GPR产生的图形横截面将使其适合非使用。工程师或在非常早期的指导阶段。该设备还通过将数据传输到图形工作站，以高度定量的方式使用。我们的课程缺少人手。根据使用这一现代工具的经验，我们建议通过购买GPR仪器并将其纳入四个系课程来纠正不足：1。地质工程、地质与地球物理土木与环境工程电气工程社会科学（考古）探地雷达将影响二十。四个系的九门课程以及工程专业的女性和少数族裔。

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is widely used as a practical tool in engineering and applied science, even though it is generally absent from university curricula and textbooks. Vigorous development by manufacturers has produced systems which are no more expensive than other types of engineering geophysical equipment. The graphical cross sections produced by GPR will make it suitable for use by non.engineers or at a very early stage of instruction. The equipment is also used in a highly quantitative mode by transferring the data to graphic workstations. Our curricula lack hands.on experience with this modern tool, and we propose to correct deficiency by acquiring GPR instrumentation and incorporating it into four departmental curricula: 1. Geological Engineering, Geology, and Geophysics 2. Civil and Environmental Engineering 3. Electrical engineering 4. Social Science (Archaeology) GPR will impact twenty.nine courses in four departments and the Women in Engineering and Minorities in Engineering Programs.
