Acquisition of an Image Analysis System

购买最先进的图像分析系统， 加强了拉斐特学院的冶金工程项目 通过收集、量化和分析数据， 从材料的放大光学图像获得， 调查，在各种工程和 科学领域。 该系统已应用于本科实验室 冶金工程的跨学科练习 在分析方法，并在本科荣誉项目在科学 与工程学 该项目改善了本科教育， 科学和工程，特别是在计算机领域 实验数据的采集和数据的统计分析。

The acquisition of a state-of-the-art Image Analysis System has strengthened the Metallurgical Engineering program at Lafayette College by allowing the collection, quantification, and analysis of data obtained from a magnified optical image of materials under investigation, with applications in a variety of engineering and scientific fields. The system is used in undergraduate laboratory exercises in metallurgical engineering, in an interdisciplinary course in analytical methods, and in undergraduate Honors projects in science and engineering. This project improves undergraduate education in science and engineering, particularly in the areas of computer acquisition of experimental data and the statistical analysis of data.
