Good day all, I'm new to the Element14 community so please feel free to give any kind of advice to my question even if it's not directly related. I have recently started lecturing in Engineering (focus on electrical/electronic at higher education/degree level) and am appalled at the age and irrelevance of the teaching materials and equipment my institute currently offers. Our management has today said that they wish to expand the course offerings in our area but I have voiced concerns that much of what we teach requires some significant updating and so of course this is my task. I am going to focus on two modules I have ownership of over the next year or so which we title Measurement and Test, and Instrumentation and Control. In Measurement and Test the course runs through an introduction to the principals of measurement, standardisation and calibration, test equipment and procedures, and data acquisition.
I wonder if anyone here has experience of developing such a course? Or perhaps even there is someone here who has a similar goal. I am keen to make contact with any course developers in this area and am absolutely for the sharing of work and effort in such a thing if I were so lucky as to find a person in my position here. I would even consider collaborating with someone on creating a publicly available course/MOOC for wider use among internet citizens because this really is my passion going forward (any widely used and open platform).
If you are someone who has experience in this area then maybe you might be able to point me to the most complete and, importantly, up-to-date information available on the web. Or at least point in the direction of that content 
. Book and literature recommendations are of course most welcome because I'm sure I'll be able to squeeze at least a little cash out of those tightly clasped wallets in management.
Much gratitude for reading this far kind and wise soul!
ps. I myself have a keen interest in hardware/software interaction and would love any ideas for raspberry pi-based ideas for this course so throw it out there if you have something in your head.
