Measurement → Decision → Action – Virtual Lab
Understand how measurements drive decisions and actions in engineering systems using an interactive virtual lab. Learn cause-and-effect visually.
About Lab
The Measurement → Decision → Action Lab helps beginners understand the complete decision chain in engineering systems. Through visual interaction, learners observe how measurements influence decisions and how those decisions trigger actions in the process. This lab builds core engineering intuition by showing that system behavior depends on information flow, not just equipment.
How to Use This Lab
Observe the physical process shown.
Watch how the measurement represents the process.
Observe the decision based on the measurement.
See the action applied to the process.
Reflect on how changes in measurement affect actions.
