5 Days |
| Course Overview: |
Sensors and Instrumentation is to give senior students in Electrical Engineering a hands-on introduction to the fundamental technology and practical application of sensors. Capacitive, inductive, optical, ultrasonic, and other sensing methods are examined.
Instrumentation techniques incorporating computer control, sampling, and data collection, calibration and analysis are reviewed in the context of real-world scenarios. Open-ended laboratory activities and required written documentation help to develop students’ analytical and communication skills.
This one week workshop in sensors and instrumentation is intended to meet the demand for electrical technicians who are trained to gain knowledge sensors technology and instrumentation.
