Goals 
After this course you will be able to:
  • Identify, build and use a set of basic instrumentation systems to acquire data from a laboratory experiment, engineering field site or test vehicle and process it using standard algorithms.
  • Discuss recent developments in sensor enabling technologies. 
  • Analyze the performance of a sensor system, including transducer, electronics and signal processing.

  • MCT498: Graduation Project


Recommended Textbooks: 
  • Class Notes.
  • Additional reading from different sources is encouraged.

Examinations:
There will be a mid-term exam scheduled after  Lecture 6. The final exam is 3 hours long.

Tutorials: 
The purpose of the tuorialsis to give students experience in the subject by working out examples and expanding on the material presented in the lectures. Attendance and participation in the recitations is obligatory.

Homework: 
Homework problems will typically be assigned every Section and will be due as specified in the assignments section. The problem sets will be provided in the assignments section. Late homework will be accepted but with maximum of half the grade given. 
You may discuss the problems with others in class, but you must (a) write up your eventual solution independently, and (b) list the names of students with whom you discussed the problem set.
