This talk reviews the challenges involved in the detection of gravitational waves, a topic of theoretical and experimental research at many of the world’s leading universities. Described, from an engineering perspective, are the objectives, a brief history, the mechanisms of detection, technical antenna and signal extraction challenges and current technology in resonant bar, spacecraft doppler shift, and laser interferometer designs. And most importantly, the recent first ever detection by LIGO of gravitational waves (from coalescing black holes) will also be discussed.
