Basics of Instrumentation (1 credit hours)
The topic of instrumentation is about the tools we use to detect, qualify and quantify physical phenomena.  The measurement and interpretation of physical phenomena has been at the root of all technological advancement since mankind began to study the world.  Scientific experimentation would have required intuition and guesswork without knowing the values of temperature, distance, volume, mass, current flow, voltage, etc. This course is an overview of physical properties and phenomena and the methods and units of measure used to quantify them.    

Included in this course are descriptions of measurable phenomena and the values we derive from them.  Various measuring devices and instruments are described.
James Thompson
After successfully completing this course, students will be able to:   

List several common measurable physical phenomena. 

Define derived values and their units of measure. 

Explain how measurable values and derived values differ.
 
Understand how physical properties and phenomena are quantified by measuring their effects, such as mass from weight and hardness from deformation. 

Describe various instruments used for measuring physical phenomena.
