Guidelines for writing program outcomes. Source: http://www.asu.edu/oue/outcomes.html. A program outcome must flow directly from, and support, the college and division/school/department mission. The connection between the mission and the outcome should be clear. A program outcome must be directly related to the academic discipline of the program.
An RTD is a temperature sensor which measures temperature using the principle that the resistance of a metal changes with temperature. In practice, an electrical current is transmitted through a piece of metal (the RTD element or resistor) located in proximity to the area where temperature is to be measured.
Resistance thermometer. Resistance thermometers, also called resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), are sensors used to measure temperature. Many RTD elements consist of a length of fine wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core but other constructions are also used. The RTD wire is a pure material, typically platinum, nickel, or copper.
