Strobe Project Laboratory
A laboratory course from MIT (6.163) built around high speed photography, electronic imaging, and light measurement, much of it using short duration strobe flashes. Students work hands-on in the lab to capture fast events, such as bullets or splashing liquids, using electronic strobe equipment they help build and calibrate. Beyond the technical skills, the course emphasizes disciplined laboratory habits, including careful documentation and methodical experimental approach. A stated goal is sharpening communication skills, and coursework includes oral presentations, written lab reports, and visual documentation of results. Materials available through MIT OpenCourseWare include the syllabus, assignments, and project descriptions, though this is a hands-on lab course best suited to those with access to physical equipment. No certificate is offered, consistent with MIT OCW's open publication model.
