This module provides you with an introduction to instrumentation, through studying the principles and characteristics of measurement systems and elements, and their underlying physical principles.
On successful completion of this module, you will be able to:
- gather record, describe and evaluate sensor and system data from a variety of sources
- demonstrate practical ability in carrying out experimental physical measurements, within defined contexts in areas relevant to physics and instrumentation
- present written evidence to demonstrate understanding of experimental investigation of underlying physical principles of measurement sensors and systems.
You will be assessed on an exam, system design exercise and laboratory report.
