I have to write a review paper of one measurement technique (any device you feel interested in or have experience with), which could be what I have learned in Mechanical Measurement course.
The main content should include how it operates, its application, changes in design with time, and future direction. Although I have to focus on recent and future development.
Would you give me any examples of devices or suggest essay topics ?
