Course Content
Measurement bases, definitions and terminology, basic statistics, metrology, error, uncertainty. Calibration procedure for measuring instruments. Measuring instruments include mechanical measuring instruments, analogue and digital measuring instruments, multimeter, AVO meter, osilloscope, frequency counter, wattmeter, LCR meter. Device types and performance characteristics errors during measurement. Calibration of measuring sensors and instruments optical, temperature, humidity, strain, pressure and distance measurements .Measurement of noise and signal processing, electrical display and test equipment, variable conversion elements.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of the course is to provide an interdisciplinary experience for undergraduate students covering traditional courses and important elements of current developments in electronic and computer control. These include the design, analysis and synthesis of elements, measurement theory, electronic circuits, computer interfaces, sensors, actuators and mechatronic systems. This interdisciplinary approach is valuable for students because almost every new designed engineering product is a mechatronic system.
