Measurement and Instrumentation

Measurement and Instrumentation is a core subject for electronics and electrical engineering students, and it is also important for allied fields such as mechatronics. This course helps learners understand how physical quantities like voltage, current, pressure, and temperature are measured in real systems. It introduces the basic concepts of measurement systems, their elements, and how they work together. Students will learn about accuracy, precision, errors, and calibration in a clear and practical manner. The course explains different types of measurement systems used in engineering applications. Special emphasis is given to analog measuring instruments and their working principles. Learners will understand how analog meters are constructed and classified. The subject is explained step by step, making it suitable for beginners. Real-life examples are used to connect theory with practical applications. Overall, this course builds a strong foundation in measurement knowledge required for all electrical and electronics engineers.
