EET 341Measurements and Instrumentation

3 credits · Electrical Engineering Technology · Penn State

Measurement concepts, transducers, electronic-aided measurement, mechanical and electrical measurements. Intended for electrical engineering technologists. EET 341 Measurements and Instrumentation (3) Measurements and Instrumentation is a required course for junior-level students in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) baccalaureate degree program. The purpose of the course is to understand the principles of measurement systems. The course enables students to design software for programming PC-based data acquisition (DAQ) systems, understand various sensors, design signal conditioning circuits for interfacing sensors to DAQ systems, and design various types of measurement systems. Laboratory exercises reinforce concepts developed in lecture.
