Course Objectives:
To introduce students to the fundamental concepts of measurement systems, including
types of measurements, measurement units, and static and dynamic performance
characteristics of measurement devices.
To familiarize students with the various types of sensors and transducers, their

characteristics, and the signal transmission and processing devices and systems used
with them.

To provide students with an understanding of time-related measurements, pressure

measurements, strain measurements, and temperature measurements, including the
types of devices used and the principles underlying their operation.
" To introduce students to the measurement of force, torque, acceleration, and vibration,
including load cells, elastic transducers, and vibration pick-ups.
To provide students with an understanding of flow measurement devices, including Hot
Wire Anemometry and Laser Doppler Velocimetry, and to introduce students to the
principles of metrology and inspection, including standards of linear measurement and
limit fits and tolerances.
