Course Objectives: | This is an introductory course in which fundamental engineering concepts are explained with examples selected from the everyday life. After completing the course, students will get basic understanding about the engineering measurement using mathematics and scientific principles. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; I. Describe the physical standards on which units are based, the conversions between SI and English units, II. Identify the basic components of a measurement system. Familiarize student with commonly-used instruments, III. Select appropriate techniques and instrumentation for the measurement of motion, temperature, pressure, strain, force, etc., IV. Understand the operating principles of a range of widely used instrumentation techniques and appreciate how to use them in the design of measurement systems V. Understand basic measurement circuit analysis techniques, VI. Calibrate common sensors and instruments. VII. Apply knowledge in math, science, and engineering. VIII. Write effective technical lab reports. |
The general measurement system and its components. Statistical analysis of experimental data, uncertainty analysis, various statistical distributions and test of goodness of fit. Engineering instrumentation include types of passive/active transducers, electronics for instrumentation, computer-based data acquisition, and experiments on temperature, force measurements. |
