For undergraduate-level courses in Introduction to Engineering Experimentation found in departments of Mechanical, Aeronautical, Civil, and Electrical Engineering. A practical introduction to engineering experimentation. Introduction to Engineering Experimentation introduces many topics that engineers need to master in order to plan, design, and document a successful experiment or measurement system. The text offers a practical approach with current examples and thorough discussions of key topics, including those often ignored or merely touched upon by other texts, such as modern computerized data acquisition systems, electrical output measuring devices, and in-depth coverage of experimental uncertainty analysis.
While teaching an engineering course on instrumentation and experimentation I discovered this text. I came to this book to see how it introduces probability and statistics since the text I am currently using is somewhat weak on this topic. Wheeler does a great job with this conceptually challenging subject and I suspect that the rest of the text is of equally high quality. I look forward to spending more time with it.
