Description

Introduction to experimental methods, sensors, and computer-aided data acquisition with emphasis on mechanical applications-Survey of transducers and measurement methods for a broad range of phenomena significant for mechanical engineers-Particular emphasis will be given to data retrieval, oral and written communication of experimental results-Laboratories experiments will give students hands-on experience with instrumentation and modern computer-aided data acquisition methods.

Program

Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering (Mechatronics Engineering)

Objectives

  • At the end of the course, the student who has mastered the course material will be able to: rn Draw a concept map for a generalized measurement system that identifies the most important concepts.rn Apply basic statistical methods to design experiments, to analyze, and to present the results of experiments. rn Identify and describe the elements making up computer-based data acquisition systems, including alternative configurations and technologies.rn Identify and describe the various types of mechanical measurements including temperature, pressure, sound, motion and position, force and torque, stress and strain, flow visualization and measurement (e.g., volume flow rate, velocity, etc.) and explain the transduction principles that underlie them.rn Operate modern instrumentation systems that include mechanical and electro-optical technologies and computer-based data acquisition systems.rn Work productively and effectively in an engineering team.rn
