Implementation of A Modern Data Acquisition System.

本项目为本科机械工程实验室开发一套基于微处理器和计算机接口的数据采集系统。除了在实验室中产生的数据外，学生也将有能力通过遥感获取真实世界的数据。传感器安装在现场，用于测量机械系统的温度、压力、流量、伏安、应变和机械振动。来自传感器的信号通过电话线传输到数据采集实验室。这为学生提供了在电信数据的获取、存储、检索和分析方面的“实践”经验的机会。本学院本科生仪器实验室的实施使学院能够应对数字技术在机械工程教育中的革命性影响。这笔奖金将由受资助者提供等额的奖金。

This project supports development of a microprocessor-based and computer-interfaced data acquisition system for the undergraduate Mechanical Engineering laboratory. In addition to data generated in the laboratory, the students will also have the capability to acquire real world data through remote sensing. Sensors are installed in the field for the measurement of temperatures, pressures, flows, volt- amperes, strains, and mechanical vibrations on a mechanical system. The signals from the sensors are transmitted to the data acquisition laboratory via telephone lines. This provides the students opportunities for "hands on" experience with telecommunications in the acquisition, storage, retrieval, and analysis of data. Implementation of the undergraduate instrumentation laboratory at this institution enables the faculty to respond to the revolutionary effects of digital technology in mechanical engineering education. This award is being matched by an equal sum from the grantee.
