This course examines modeling, instrumentation, and measurement of electrical, mechanical, fluid, and thermal systems containing elements such as sensors and actuators used in feedback control systems. Analytical and experimental techniques of general importance in systems engineering are presented, including sensor utilization in feedback control. Engineering measurement fundamentals, including digital and frequency domain techniques noise and error analysis are covered. Closed-loop system analysis will include the use of proportional, integral, and derivative elements to control system response. Hands-on projects and laboratories are utilized to reinforce fundamental measurement and control system concepts. Software skills include the use of MATLAB and the graphical programming language, LABVIEW.
