SYEN 4326 - Measurement Techniques

Two hours lecture. Two hours laboratory per week. Three credit hours.

Principles of operation and implementation of transducers used in electronic measuring systems. Sensors used for the measurement of strength, capacitance, pressure, flow, force velocity, temperature, humidity, vibration, sound, and acceleration are discussed. Interfacing transducers with a digital system will be emphasized. The effects of quantization, scaling, sampling time, and bandwidth will be examined. Dual listed in the Graduate Catalog as SYEN 5326.

Prerequisites: MEEG 3373 or equivalent and MEEG 3374 or equivalent.
