    This document outlines the objectives of a module on temperature instrumentation. The module will teach students how thermocouples and resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) work for temperature measurement. Specifically, it will cover how thermocouples generate signals related to temperature, the roles of measurement and reference junctions, and the need for extension wires. For RTDs, students will learn about their construction, wheatstone bridge circuits for sensing temperature, the use of three-wire RTDs, and the purpose of thermal wells.
