COURSE OBJECTIVES

The objective of this Lab is to help students understand the use of sensors, transducers and measuring instruments. The lab also focuses on how AC and DC measuring devices work and provides an insight of construction of these devices. The lab also gives hands on experience to the students of different measuring devices.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLO)

CLO:1. Express the theory of analogue DC and AC measuring instruments  (Level: C2)

CLO:2. Demonstrate use of sensors, transducers and electronic measuring instruments mismatch losses (Level: P1)

CLO:3. Apply the theoretical knowledge of analog electronic and digital multimeters (Level: C3).
