  4. Definition • the use or application of instruments (as for observation, measurement, or control) • instruments for a particular purpose; also : a selection or arrangement of instruments

  5. Experiment • Conceive and verify theoretical concepts • Develop new methods and products • Commission sophisticated new engineering systems • Evaluate performance and behavior of existing products

  6. Applications of Engineering Experimentation & Measurement • Measurement in engineering experimentation 2. Measurement in operational devices for monitoring and control purposes.

  7. Measurement in Engineering Experiment • Research Experimentation • Development Experimentation • Performance Testing

  8. Research Experimentation Carbon Fiber Composites Suggesting Method Produce carbon fibers in small quantities Evaluating Method Physical Properties Performing Test http://paultan.org/2008/05/14/carbon-fiber-the-key-to-better-mileage/

  9. Development Experimentation http://www.sglgroup.com/cms/international/products/lexicon-of-materials/index.html?letter=C&__locale=en

  10. Performance Testing • To demonstrate applicability • To asses reliability • To determine product lifetime • To determine needs for maintenance

  11. Instrumentation Engineers • An instrumentation engineer improves the efficiency of operating machinery. • Instrumentation engineers build, test and repair electronic components that an organization uses in operating activities. These instrumentation engineering activities are important because they help a company operate optimally in the short and long terms. • Read more: Instrumentation Engineer Job Description | eHow.comhttp://www.ehow.com/facts_6785991_instrumentation-engineer-job-description.html#ixzz1XeU68a81

  12. Instrumentation Engineers • An instrumentation engineer supports control-system engineering activities by designing, developing, installing and testing a company's electrical and instrumentation systems. • The engineer makes decisions and solves problems, interacts with mainframe computers and develops constructive relationships with department chiefs, business unit leaders, contractors and external vendors. • Read more: Instrumentation Engineer Job Description | eHow.comhttp://www.ehow.com/facts_6785991_instrumentation-engineer-job-description.html#ixzz1XeTnx8p0
