Instrumentation and Design Laboratory
6 Credits
EECE 474
Theory and practice of electrical measurements and electronic instrumentation.
Course Outline
This is a course on the design of complex engineering projects within a team environment. In the process of designing your project, you will learn about the issues involved in project management, and team communication. Your team will have a chance to tackle a challenging design problem of your choice in consultation with your team advisors. Students will produce a working design, to a defined specification. They will be able to explain the measurement principles associated with their device and list their technical and managerial contributions to the project.
Instrumentation and Design is a course offered at UBC that allows students to apply the knowledge they have gained into an innovative project based course. Students are challenged to develop an autonomous robot that must complete the task of entering a pre-made track and extinguish five candles.
