Abstract

The availability of advanced instrumentation and computer-based sensing technologies, analogue-to-digital conversion techniques and data processing have influenced the way laboratory components of engineering and science programmes are implemented at universities worldwide. At the University of South Australia, a continuous development of facilities for first year students has taken place. Computerised measurement experiments developed for the first year engineering students have been reported before. This article outlines the instrumentation and measurement laboratory experiments involving modern laboratory instruments, leading to developing a good laboratory practice and writing professional experiment reports. The article describes the instrumentation experiments developed for this purpose and details experiences of their use in teaching the first year electrical engineering course.
