What this paper is about
In-depth understanding on why measurement is relevant including the associated decisions, cost, risk, variation and error, are critical and essential skills, so that students have the capability to select and deploy the appropriate types of measurement with the corresponding sensing technology, that the Mechatronics and EEE programmes at University of Waikato expects, whereby the intention is to produce work-ready graduates to serve the "Smart Electronics" market. Students will learn to integrate the selected sensing technologies to develop bespoke measurement systems for a given application, as well as characterize and develop the calibration procedures that comply with international accreditation and/or certification standards for instruments.. Topics taught in this Sensors, Instrumentation and Measurement paper will link the two disciplines seamlessly thus producing better graduate outcomes.
The learning outcomes for this paper are linked to Washington Accord graduate attributes WA1-WA11. Explanation of the graduate attributes can be found at: https://www.ieagreements.org/assets/Uploads/Documents/IEA-Graduate-Attributes-and-Professional-Competencies-2021.1-Sept-2021.pdf
How this paper will be taught
The paper consists of theoretical and practical lectures alongside lab sessions that run in tandem with the practical lectures. All students are expected to attend both the lectures and labs physically.
The theoretical lectures will be recorded and made available on panopto after each lecture and the lecture notes will be uploaded onto Moodle.
The lab sessions comprise of 3 project tasks that needs to be completed individually and detailed information on these project tasks will be outlined during the lab sessions. The first project task begins on week 1 and hence failing to attend the lab might result in delayed progression and completion on the project task. See assessment instructions for late submission penalties.
For those who might not be able to be physically present for the labs/lectures, please contact the Lecturer/Convener as soon as possible.

How you will be assessed
This paper has 5 assessment components in total (all assessments are internal). For these assessments please refer the individual assessment components in the next section.
Samples of your work may be required as part of the Engineering New Zealand accreditation process for BE(Hons) degrees. Any samples taken will have the student name and ID redacted. If you do not want samples of your work collected then please email the engineering administrator, Natalie Shaw (natalie.shaw@waikato.ac.nz), to opt out.
The internal assessment/exam ratio (as stated in the University Calendar) is 100:0. There is no final exam.
