Title: Module Overview - 3
Course: Open PRO131 Instrumentation II > Section: Module 3: Advanced Control Schemes & Intro to Digital Control

Module Overview | Module Learning Objectives
Face-to Face

We will meet the first day of class. This mod we will go over the syllabus/course information and expectations and get started with some intro stuff and start learning about instrumentation. (Our future meeting will include your hands-on labs.)

Online

1. First read through my
2. Next familiarize yourself with the class discussion questions so that you can be thinking of them while you read. Note posting deadlines.
3. Then for this mod you want to read the assigned chapter in your text and then answer the Checking Your Knowledge questions at the end of chapter and upload in Canvas.
4. Take the Reading & Understanding quiz when you feel like you will do well.
5. Complete assignments before the due dates-remember, the "due" date is not the "do" date.
