Title: Apply measuring skills using instrumentation.
Course: Engineering Studies (21002) > Section: Practicing Engineering Fundamentals

Application should include

- measuring linear distance, mass, energy, and power with the appropriate measurement devices
- determining significant digits (number of digits beyond the decimal point to determine accuracy of measurement or tolerance)
- encouraging the use of modern electronic measuring equipment and probes (possibly borrow equipment or ask for guests to demonstrate [e.g., surveying]).

Process/Skill Questions:

- How does an engineering scale differ from standard-ruler scales?
- Why must engineering measurements be precise?
- What tools are used for the inspection of parts and products?
- What are uses of laser instruments?
