Engineering Measurements

3 credits · Undergraduate

The static and dynamic characteristics of first and second order transducers and measurement systems are examined. The experimental versus theoretical approach to engineering problems is studied. Topics include data acquisition, analysis, and presentation, including the probabilistic nature of engineering measurements. The course is laboratory intensive covering measurements of force, strain, temperature, pressure, velocity, and fluid flow. Computers are used extensively in the laboratory experiments.
