The overall objective of this course is to provide the student with the basic
experience in some aspects of the control and measurement systems. The
student will be able to relate the theoretical knowledge gained from his study of
control and measurement courses to the practical application in the lab.
He/She will be acquitted with measurement devices and instruments and
appreciate difference between ideal and practical. He will be also able to
compare results calculated theoretically with that obtained from measurements.
Course Outcomes and Relation to ABET Program Outcomes:
Outcomes and Relation to ABET Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, a student should be able to:
1. Provide students with a sound introduction to principles of analogue servomechanisms. [b,k].
2. Investigate the basic principles of fuzzy logic [b,e,k].
3. Learn the basic operation of a temperature control system and will also learn the static and
transient behavior of the temperature process [b,e,k].
4. Familiarize the student with programmable logic controllers (PLC) as hardware and the software
used to program it. [b,k].
5. Take an overview and to be familiar with the pneumatic system parts [b,e,k].
6.
Familiarize the student with the method of measuring resistance using the voltmeter- ammeter
method and to allow him/her to appreciate errors involved in the two different cases of
measurement [b,k]].
