'Measurement and Instrumentation Principles' is the latest edition of a successful book that introduces undergraduate students to the measurement principles and the range of sensors and instruments that are used for measuring physical variables. Completely updated to include new technologies such as smart sensors, displays and interfaces, the 3rd edition also contains plenty of worked examples and self-assessment questions (and solutions). In addition, a new chapter on safety issues focuses on the legal framework, electrical safety and failsafe designs, and the author has also concentrated on RF and optical wireless communications. Fully up-to-date and comprehensively written, this textbook is essential for all engineering undergraduates, especially those in the first two years of their course.

This review is from: Measurement and Instrumentation Principles, Third Edition (Paperback)

This was the textbook for my least favorite class I took in college so that probably shades my perception. It was a textbook for English (as in the country) electrical engineers with some English terminology I was not very familiar with. It also felt like it was unnecessarily complex. This book was just overall a bad experience, although I believe it was a bad application more than it was the authors fault.
