INSTRUMENTAL PHYSICS
PHYS 4080 | 3 Credits | UG
In this course, students will learn how to design and construct test and measurement instruments. They will design, construct various hands-on apparatuses and conduct measurements with their own instruments in the laboratory session. Students will also learn basic knowledge of design and construction of computer-based data acquisition systems and virtual instruments, emphasizing the application of microelectronics for controlling processes and systems. The integration of microprocessors with sensors/actuators and the use of digital device interface are central to these applications. In addition, typical computer network application of laboratory will be overviewed.
