The Research Instrumentation course was designed to provide the fundamentals of electronic instrument operation and design to those graduate researchers with little or no electrical engineering background. Research students need this training to obtain an understanding of how their measurement systems function and how to interpret their experimental results, which are largely acted upon and perhaps modified by systems involving transducers, signal processors, and input-output devices. This course has evolved into an integrated lecture, laboratory, demonstration package which teaches the basic principles of electronic instrumentation.
