Description

This course provides hands-on experiments that are designed to teach the fundamentals of instrumentation devices and experimental techniques. Basic physical principles of theory that apply to the mechanical engineering technology student are covered for purposes of verifying experimental techniques and teaching the importance of experimental result verification. This course allows students to: 1) assemble measurement systems which include transducers, signal conditioners, and data acquisition systems; 2) conduct experiments on relevant mechanical systems; 3) data verifications using theoretical models. Effective written and verbal communication techniques are also emphasized throughout the course.
