6B07105 – Instrument Engineering

Major (UNT): Mathematics; Physics

Instrument engineering is a field of science and technology, a branch of mechanical engineering, engaged in the development and production of measuring instruments, processing and presentation of information, automatic and automated control systems.

The main direction of development of instrumentation is measuring technology, consisting of methods and instruments for measuring mechanical, electrical, magnetic, thermal, optical and other physical quantities. Measuring instruments, together with automatic controllers and actuators, form the technical base of automated process control systems (APCS).
