This course essentially addresses theory and application of
instrumentation for typical measurement techniques, used to monitor
and control mechanical processes; design of experiments using
standard techniques and computerized data acquisition, data
reduction and analysis; accepted procedures for presentation of
results.
Course Objectives:
- Provide a basic background in engineering
measurements and measurement systems.
- Provide an understanding of the
fundamentals of signal characteristics, analog and digital
measurement systems, and transducers.
- Highlight the principles governing the
design of measurement systems, how to plan a test, including the
role of statistics and uncertainty in data analysis.
- Establish the principles and practice for
measurement of physical variables common in many engineering
applications, through various lab exercises.
- Gain proficiency in lab report writing
through presentation, analysis and interpretation of data, other
findings and conclusions.
