Instrumentation for Manufacturing

Objectives

The primary objective:
Recognize, understand, and critically apply the main fundamentals, methodologies, procedures, equipment, and software related to Analog and Digital Instrumentation, especially aimed at advanced manufacturing processes.

At the end of the course, it is intended that the individual has acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies to:

- Know and understand the operating principles of transducers and instrumentation equipment;
- Design, integrate, and produce basic components of instrumentation equipment;
- Use transducers and instrumentation equipment with a special interest in manufacturing processes;
- Interpret, analyze and validate the measurements performed;
- Write a complete, concise and accurate technical-scientific report of the performed measurements.
