Doebelin's MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS APPLICATIONS & DESIGN 5/e provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of measurement, instrumentation and experimentation; it is geared mainly for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering students, though other majors can also utilize it. The book is also a comprehensive, up-to-date resource for engineering professionals.
The 5/e features expanded coverage of sensors and computer tools in measurement & experimentation. Measurement techniques related to micro- and nano-technologies are now discussed, reflecting the growing importance of these technologies,
The newest computer methods are covered, and Doebelin has added a significant commercial software connection for users of the book. Specific coverage of MATLAB, SIMULINK, and the lab simulation package DASY LAB is provided with the book.
A Book Website will accompany the text, providing links to commercial sites of interest, user software resources, and detailed, password-protected solutions to all chapter problems.
