Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 014426 Grading Basis GRD

This course covers the fundamental nature of measurement in the practice of science and technology. It examines how computing technology is applied to the collection, storage, processing and presentation of data. In addition to discussions about how and why measurements are taken, the uncertainty involved in all measurements and the statistical methods used for analysis will be covered. Students will learn about measurement systems and how they can be networked using wireless and wireline technology for data acquisition. This course includes a project-based lab component focusing on hands-on integration and troubleshooting of networked measurement systems, including computation methods for data analysis and data visualization. Prerequisite(s): ISAT 252 and a minimum grade of “C-” in either ISAT 251 or MATH 220 .
