Basic theory and application of measurement, instrumentation, and control as applied to engineering processes including HVAC. Course will cover pneumatic and electronic instrumentations and control systems.
Homework: Homework problems to practice and study are shown on the class schedule. The problems listed are a minimum number of problems you should attempt. All homework is due one week after it is assigned.
Laboratory exercises: There will be at least on laboratory exercises per class period. Some exercises are comuter simulations, while others are exercises with actual field equipment. All lab exercises are designed to illustrate certain concepts explained in lecture. A list of the lab exercises is included on the download page and on the syllabus.
Exams: If a work or family
conflict makes it impossible
for you to take an exam on the scheduled
date, make sure to contact your instructor
at least a week in advance to arrange to
take it prior to the scheduled date. Missing
an exam without contacting me prior to the
scheduled date will result in a zero for
that exam.
Attendance: I will take attendance at the beginning
of each class. If you are late be sure to
contact me at break so that I can mark you
present. Missing one class in this course
means missing about ten percent of the whole
course. Most students can only be successful
in this course if they attend class regularly.
There may be times when you cannot make it to class.
If this is the case, call and leave a message
on my voice mail or [preferably] send me
an email. In doing so, an absence will not have a
negative impact on your grade.
Help: For help, come to my office during my normal
office hours or make an appointment for another
time. Contacting me by telephone or email is also
a good way to get help with a specific problem,
provided that you have worked diligently
on the problem before calling.
