Measurement Technology (3 cr)

Evaluation scale

0-5

Content scheduling

Lectures until week 44, then mandatory laboratory exercises.

Objective

You will get acquainted with industrial measurements and their technology. You will need a basic knowledge of physics and electrical engineering in the course. You will be able to use what you have learned in this course in many other courses during your studies and, of course, in working life.

EUR-ACE INFORMATION AND UNDERSTANDING
You are familiar with industrial measurement methods and understand their physical and chemical fundamentals. You know how to analyze measurement results and understand the measurement uncertainty associated with measurements. You can make choices between different measurement methods and you can implement simple PC-based measurement applications.

Further information

During the first three weeks, the first assignment must be returned or else you will be dropped from the course.

80% attendance is compulsory at the lectures of the course. Attendance is monitored. 100% attendance is mandatory in the laboratories and a report must be prepared.

Absences are agreed upon with the teacher for justified reasons. For example, cases of illness or the necessary expertise have been otherwise demonstrated. The evaluation criteria take into account the student's active participation in the course. For example, demonstrating competence by doing the share of tasks defined by the teacher.

The student must acknowledge the course feedback as given (task in Moodle).

The returned exercises and laboratory reports of the course are evaluated on a scale of 0-5.

The grade of the course consists of the grades of the exercises as follows.
Lesson exercises 20% each
Laboratory report 40%
