Modules, Problems, Learning Tools	Description
frequency response problems	Frequency domain analysis beginning with the time domain description of a mechanical system. Chapter includes detailed descriptions and worked examples in sinusoidal steady-state analysis, Fourier analysis, Bode plots, and measurement systems. Includes extended design examples at the end of the chapter. The problem file includes many problems and conceptual questions for adaptation.
sensors problems	The intent of this chapter is to emphasis the physical mechanisms of various types of sensors. Sensor types included are resisitive, capacitive, inductive and optical. Sensors for temperature and strain are treated in detail. Includes extended design examples at the end of the chapter. The problem file includes many problems and conceptual questions for adaptation.
signal conditioning problems	This chapter on signal conditioning includes amplifiers, filters, buffers, bridge circuits, and op-amp limitations. Includes extended design examples at the end of the chapter. The problem file includes many problems and conceptual questions for adaptation.
system-level considerations problems	The chapter on system-level consideration builds on the chapters on sensors and signal conditioning. It begins with an extended example giving the flavor of design choices faced by an engineering designing a measurement system. The chapter ends with an introduction to electromagnetic compatibility. Includes extended design examples at the end of the chapter. The problem file includes many problems and conceptual questions for adaptation.
Modules Academy of Electronic Media	The PIs, in collaboration, with the Academy of Electronic Media at Rensselaer have developed interactive modules to allow learners to explore concepts on their own and at their own pace.
