ENGR 342: Measurements, Control and Data Acquisition

Course Description

This course combines knowledge acquired from previous fundamental classes, as it applies to techniques for precision measurements, interpreting measurement data and using it to control systems. Hands-on laboratory experiments in the Teaching and Energy Research Industrial Lab (TERIL) are provided to demonstrate operation of real industrial systems (compressed air, pumping, chilled water and furnace), and verify the concepts in precision measurement theory as it relates to process measurements and the accuracy of measurements in industrial processes. The course has extended, calculus-based theoretical measurements uncertainty component, suitable for engineering programs. Prerequisite: EGRT 320.
