Course #es"ri$tion
Instrumentation and Measurement is a junior year mechanical engineering course that introduces
the students to a plethora of measurement and instrumentation techniques that the students are
expected to employ in real life engineering and research that involves extensive experimental
treatments. Owing to the close inclination of the course to real life experimental methods, students
shall be expected to immerse themselves in numerous hands-on projects in line with what they shall
learn in theory. ue to the holistic nature of this course, students are expected to draw and
implement ideas from all the freshman and sophomore year Mechanical !ngineering, !lectrical
!ngineering, "omputer !ngineering, #hysics, "hemistry and Mathematics courses as concrete
understanding of the basics of such subjects shall prove to be conducive in the grasping of the
subject matter as a whole.
!earning Out"omes
By the end of this course it is expected that students will be able to:
1. Understand and plan the design of instrumentation and measurement systems.
2. Choose appropriate sensors, transducers and instruments in devising such systems.
. !mploy sensors and transducers to collect valuable experimental data.
". Use a holistic view#point in solving real#life engineering problems and thereby to be
able to co#ordinate and incorporate the different branches of engineering and science in
engineering solutions.
