Engineering problems are generally solved by some combination of theoretical and experimental work. In preparing students for the experimental portion of this overall effort, we must provide educational materials and school experiences in two major areas. One of these, the study of measurement systems, is the topic of my earlier book, now in its fourth edition. Here, students bocome familiar with the basic concepts, principles, and analytical tools needed to understand and design the measuring and data processing equipment used in any experimental study. In addition to basic principles, some familiarity with existing hardware and methods should be developed. For labs which emphasize set experiments, rather than original projects, this type of information is sufficient.
