BioInstrumentation Lab:2.131

From BioInstrumentation Lab

The MIT Mechanical Engineering Graduate class 2.131 provides training in advanced instrumentation and measurement techniques. Topics include system level design, fabrication and evaluation with emphasis on systems involving concepts and technology from mechanics, optics, electronics, chemistry and biology. Simulation, modeling and design software are also covered. Students learn to use of a wide range of instruments/techniques (e.g., scanning electron microscope, dynamic signal/system analyzer, impedance analyzer, laser interferometer) and fabrication/machining methods (e.g., laser micro-machining, stereo lithography, computer controlled turning and machining centers). Additionally, theory and practice of both linear and nonlinear system identification techniques are demonstrated.
