An Electronic Instrumentation Course as Part of a Multidisciplinary Learning Project

This paper describes a final year undergraduate course on Electronic Instrumentation This course is part of multidisciplinary collaboration that involves several assignments of a last yea, undergraduate course in Electrical Engineering: Computers, Electronic Instrumentation Automatic Control and Business Administration. The students must propose anew product, elaborate a market survey, etc. to create a new enterprise following the same steps than in a real case. As respect to the assignment of Electronic Instrumentation, the students must design a prototype of the electronic system or subsystem of the product they propose. The main goal of this course is to cover and to integrate the disciplines involved in instrumentation within a framework that provides highly motivating work and to integrate this learning with other assignments of the same course. The proposed solutions to achieve this goad the laboratory support, extra work; course costs are described in this paper.
