Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

In-depth understanding on instrumentation and measurement are essential skills for the Mechatronics and EEE programmes at University of Waikato, whereby the intention is to produce graduates to serve the "Smart Electronics" market. While there are electronics, robotics and computer science papers in the EEE & Mechatronics programmes, there are gaps in transitioning between these different disciplines. Topics taught in this Sensors, Instrumentation and Measurement paper will link the two disciplines seamlessly thus producing better graduate outcomes.

The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/

Workload

Edit Workload Content

This course is a project based learning paper to design and deploy solutions for smart measurement systems. You will spend significant hands-on time to develop your soft and hard skills with minimal supervision from the lectures on the project as this is a 500-level paper where you are expected to think on your toes. You are expected to spend a total of 150 hours on this paper.

The recommended minimum weekly workload/week is

  • 2 hours of Lectures

  • 3 hours of laboratory work.

  • 7.5 hours self-directed hours to perform design, fabrication and program to realize the necessary instrumentation, perform investigation and literature review and write technical reports
