Abstract

In recent years, technological development has resulted in evolution of communication interfaces for data acquisition and control devices. Therefore, engineering education combined with practice with such devices has become an essential methodology in the learning process of undergraduate students. However, it has been noticed lack of literature to support undergraduate practical classes with USB interface, particularly in the area of instrumentation and control. This work is based upon development of a supporting bibliography and practical scripts for Introduction to Data Acquisition Systems and Control discipline.
