As a result, these students will be in disadvantageous position in thecurrent competitive job market.In this project we introduce an introductory multi-disciplinary-based laboratoryexperiment, which provides basic theoretical knowledge about various types of sensingdevices. The laboratory experiment and related lectures are primarily for studentsenrolled in different undergraduate science (biology, physics, bio molecular, etc.),engineering, and technology courses possibly with limited background in electronics. Theproposed experiment can be utilized as an add-on component to courses with laboratoryactivities covering physical computing, instrumentations, computer-based measurementtechnology, or related

This research project involves development of a fullycustomizable, user-defined hardware-software suite for automated signal routing with an openended functionality profile. This intelligent switching system can be customized and employed inany industry where there is a need for programmable, timed, and/or simultaneous routing ofanalog or digital signals between devices. Potential applications of these automated switchingsystems include, but are not limited to: demarcation points, test floors, redundant backupsystems, remote maintenance, etc. This

To be able todesign and implement effective process control systems, we need to first understand what areand how the major components of a control system function. Process control includes a process,measuring devices (sensors), control algorithms (controller), and final control elements(controlled device). All these are combined in what is known as control loop. Different controlalgorithms and structures such as Feedback and Feed forward can be incorporated in a controlsystem. Likewise, different tuning methods can be employed. Ziegler Nichols and Cohen-Coonmethods.

the equipment is not a viable option in many applications. With the lowcost of USB digital cameras and the availability of LabVIEW™ VISION, a cost-effectivemethod of reading multiple meters of assorted types can be created. Duplicating the process thata human performs while reading a meter display is daunting. However, this process is simplifiedby using virtual instruments (VIs), which perform essential functions such as edge, pattern androtation detection. As part of an undergraduate research project, a computer, using LabVIEW™Vision, together with a USB digital camera is used to read a digital multimeter (DMM) and ananalog watt-hour meter.
