Engineering Measurements Lab
2 Credits
This course is focused on developing skills and knowledge in the areas of instrumentation, computer data acquisition (DAQ), measurement theory, uncertainty analysis, data analysis, and technical report writing. Specific topics that are covered include:
• Physical dimension variability assessment
• Centrifugal pump performance evaluation
• Temperature, pressure, and flow instrumentation and measurements
• LabVIEW programming and DAQ hardware application
• Transient measurements including computer data acquisition
• Digital signal input and output
Each topic includes background theoretical content with some individual exercises and then a team-based lab with accompanying lab report. Reports are submitted first in draft form and are reviewed by peers in class before preparing them for final draft submission
