Brief description of the Unit

This course will enable a student to develop understanding on principles of measurement and instrumentation including transducers theory and practice, data acquisition and data logging systems, intelligent measurement systems and virtual instrumentation. Also, thorough this course a student is expected to develop confidence in the specification of physical data with respect to both rectangular and polar coordinate systems.
