interchangeable components in the assemblies. Students should also be familiar with the principles of
instrumentation, transducers and measurement of non-electrical parameters like, force and sound.
II. INDUSTRY / EMPLOYER EXPECTED OUTCOME
The diploma technician will be able to Use relevant measuring instruments for various conditions of
measurement efficiently.
III. COURSE LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES (COS)
