The GKN Aerospace Clinic team at Harvey Mudd College has been tasked with developing a thickness variation calculation software to aid in the manufacturing of conductive films on aircraft transparencies. This software will help GKN Aerospace determine the relationship between the thickness of these conductive films and how much heat they produce when a voltage is applied to them.
