The syllabus in theinstrumentation course, therefore, is largely shaped by individual taste and need and lackscohesiveness in instruction to appeal to a large spectrum of engineering disciplines. This paper provides an insight into the design of course contents and instructionalapproach for an instrumentation course to meet the need of a large spectrum ofengineering and technology disciplines. Difficulties encountered in developing a cohesiveand integrated course, faculty experiences in classroom and laboratory, studentevaluations of the instructors, and course are described. The course that we envisionedcaptures emerging trends in electronics, mechanics, manufacturing, process, and
