Instrumentation Control and Sensor Course

该项目将扩大电气工程实验室在自动化计算机测量和控制领域的现有能力。将获得硬件和软件，以便对温度、应变、液体流动和液体特性等参数进行测量。该系统还将允许学生控制范围更广的发动机、阀门、传感器和视觉系统，并与之交互。它将为学生提供一个丰富的环境，在其中开发各种电路来执行相关的测量和控制任务。整个项目的计划是为了使学生能够在制造、化学过程控制和污染监测等领域做出有意义的贡献。

This project will extend the current capabilities in the Electrical Engineering laboratories in the areas of automated computer measurements and control. Hardware and software will be acquired to permit measurements to be made of such parameters as temperature, strain, the flow of liquids, and the characteristics of liquids. The system will also allow students to control and interface with a much wider range of motors, valves, sensors, and a vision system. It will provide students with a rich environment in which to develop various circuits to perform relevant tasks in measurement and control. The overall project is planned so as to equip students to make meaningful contributions in such areas as manufacturing, chemical process control, and pollution monitoring.
