Dear all EMC201/EMC301 students,
Welcome to the EMC201/EMC301 (Measurement and Instrumentation) course. Please note that all announcements relating to the course will be made officially via the e-Learning website. Therefore, please visit this website frequently to keep yourself updated.
Lecturers
Dr. Norzalilah Mohamad Nor (NMN) Course Manager
Ir. Dr. Yen Kin Sam (YKS)
Dr. Siti Sarah binti Kamaludin (SSK)
Course Objectives
To introduce the basic principles of measurement systems including various sensory methods, types of tools and their characteristics, display and recording elements and their use in the measurement of temperature, flow, pressure, force, level, displacement and so on
To impart basic knowledge in the field of measurement and equipment to students so that they are ready to study further courses such as Mechatronics and Automatic Control
Course Synopsis
This course emphasizes on the aspects of mechanical measurement at the beginning of the program so that students can understand various methods to sense and their applications. The course starts with a general description of the measurement process and standards, followed by the signal conditioning and data processing. The second half of the course involves measuring various physical quantities such as pressure, flow, strain, temperature and so on.
Course Outcomes
At the end of the course the students are expected to be able to:
Able to determine the various characteristics and dynamic behaviours of a measurement system
Able to determine the uncertainty in a set of measurement data
Able to explain the working principle and application of various sensors/sensing elements and determine their sensitivity
Able to analyze a time-varying signal and construct its frequency spectrum and to apply signal conditioning fundamentals to process signals from measurement systems
Able to apply digital methods in mechanical measurement and to apply knowledge in measurement system using sensors and microprocessor in strain, temperature, pressure and flow measurement
