About Lab
Experience the consequences of choosing the wrong sensor using an interactive virtual lab. Learn visually why correct sensor selection matters.
The Mistake Simulation (Wrong Sensor Choice) lab helps beginners understand that a sensor can work correctly and still be the wrong choice for an application. Through visual simulation, learners experience how incorrect sensor selection leads to delayed response, unstable behavior, or misleading readings. This lab builds judgment and awareness required for real-world engineering decisions and interviews.
How to Use This Lab
Observe the given process behavior.
Select a sensor option from the list.
Change the process condition.
Watch how the selected sensor responds.
Reflect on whether the sensor choice fits the application.
Frequently asked questions
Does this lab teach how to select sensors from datasheets?
No. It focuses on behavioral understanding, not specifications.
Is the sensor actually faulty in this lab?
No. The sensor works, but it may be unsuitable for the application.
Is this lab useful for interview preparation?
Yes. It builds practical sensor-selection reasoning.
Is this lab beginner-friendly?
Yes. No prior instrumentation knowledge is required.
