Tavoitteet

The objective of a Climatic and Reliability Testing course is to provide you an understanding of the principles, methods and techniques for testing the performance of products and systems under various environmental conditions and to assess their reliability under normal and extreme conditions. This course aims to equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to perform climatic and reliability testing, understand the results, and use that information to make informed decisions about product design and development. The goal is to provide you with an understanding of how to perform tests that mimic real-world conditions and to use that information to improve the reliability and performance of products in the field.
