The objective of this project is the acquisition of a Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) and water tunnel for the newly developed Thermal Sciences Laboratory. The LDV serves as an instructional tool for linking material taught in the three foundational thermal science courses of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermodynamics and as an introduction to a state-of-the-art measurement system that is becoming more and more utilized in industry and academia. The addition of the LDV and water tunnel experiments supports a change that adds a 1-credit Thermal Sciences Laboratory and a 1-credit Fluid Mechanics Laboratory to the Mechanical Engineering curriculum. The target audience for the project is undergraduate mechanical engineering students, but the project also affects undergraduate students in the fields of chemical and civil and environmental engineering. The equipment is also being used to demonstrate LDV operation and basic fluid/thermal phenomena to high school students in an established pre-engineering program at the university. The impact of the project is an increased student understanding of often elusive thermal science principles and student familiarity with an instrumentation system that could enhance the competitiveness of their future employers.

该项目的目标是为新开发的热科学实验室获得激光多普勒测速仪（LDV）和水洞。LDV作为一种教学工具，将流体力学、传热学和热力学这三门基础热科学课程的教学材料联系起来，并作为一种最先进的测量系统的介绍，该系统在工业界和学术界的应用越来越广泛。LDV和水洞实验的增加支持了在机械工程课程中增加1学分的热科学实验室和1学分的流体力学实验室的变化。该项目的目标受众是机械工程专业的本科生，但该项目也影响到化学和土木与环境工程领域的本科生。该设备还被用于向高中学生演示LDV操作和基本流体/热现象，这是该大学一个已建立的工程前期项目。该项目的影响是增加学生对通常难以捉摸的热科学原理的理解，并使学生熟悉仪器系统，从而提高他们未来雇主的竞争力。
