ENGINEERING MEASUREMENTS AND INSTRUMENTATION

ME 768

General concepts for predicting, characterizing, and reducing noise in measurements. Address the key questions of all experimentalists: (1) How can I improve my signal-to-noise ratio? (2) What is the ultimate detection limit of my measurement approach? Knowledge of Matlab programming and basic circuit design [such asE C E 230] is required.

BSE 365

Principles of instrumentation and measurement systems, analysis of experimental data, electronic components, instrumentation for measuring various parameters of biological systems (e.g., temperature, force, flow).

ECE 370

Experiments related to the required core material.

CHEM 524

Basic principles for designing, developing, and using chemical instrumentation and applying these principles in the laboratory. Spectroscopy, separations, and mass spectrometry instruments are emphasized.

ME 770

Theory and design of instruments for transient physical phenomena especially related to internal combustion engines. Basic knowledge of kinetic theory of gases, statistical mechanics, and quantum mechanics for gases, and measurement theory [such asM E 601: Physics of Gases] required.
