Course Title: Measurement and Instrumentation Laboratory
Type of Course: Optional, Sessional
Offered to: EEE
Pre-requisite Course(s): None
This is a Laboratory course based on the content of the Theory course EEE 427 Measurement and Instrumentation
This course consists of two parts. In the first part, students will perform experiments to verify practically the theories and concepts learned in EEE 427. In the second part, students will design simple systems using the principles learned in EEE 427.
To provide hands-on training on different measurement techniques for measure resistance, capacitance, power, energy, frequency, phase angle etc.
To design and present simple measurement and instrumentation devices/systems
Fundamental understanding of electrical and electronic concepts

Class participation will be judged by in-class evaluation; attendance will be recorded in every class.
Continuous assessment will be done in the form of laboratory tasks, assignments, laboratory-tests, report writing and viva.
A group project on the design of measurement and instrumentation devices/systems has to be completed by the end of this course. A project report has to be submitted and the project has to demonstrated and presented in the class.
To be decided by course instructor(s)
Electrical and Electronics Measurement and Instrumentation by AK Sawhney
Online resources or supplementary materials will be shared with the class on a need basis
N.B. Besides going through relevant topics of the textbook, it is strongly advised that the students follow the class Lectures and discussions regularly for a thorough understanding of the topics.
