Presenting a mathematical basis for obtaining valid data, and basic concepts in measurement and instrumentation, this authoritative text is ideal for a one-semester concurrent or independent lecture/laboratory course. Strengthening students' grasp of the fundamentals with the most thorough, in-depth treatment available, Measurement and Instrumentation in Engineering discusses in detail basic methods of measurement, interaction between a transducer and its environment, arrangement of components in a system, and system dynamics ... describes current engineering practice and applications in terms of principles and physical laws ... enables students to identify and document the sources of noise and loading ... furnishes basic laboratory experiments in sufficient detail to minimize instructional time ... and features more than 850 display equations, over 625 figures, and end-of-chapter problems. This impressive text, written by masters in the field, is the outstanding choice for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate-level courses in engineering measurement and instrumentation in universities and four-year technical institutes for most departments.
