The instrumentation and measurement laboratory is used to teach juniors
fundamental ideas in the field. These include calibration, the
evaluatiojn of measurement techniques considering accuracy, precision,
resolution and sensitivity, testing to obtain material properties, and
time varying measurements. Student experiments involve thermocouples,
strain gages, resistance measuring methods, and the transient behavior of
series RC and RLC circuits.

The instrumentation and measurement laboratory requires students to prepare formal written reports and
to give oral presentations thus teaching these communications skills as
well.
