Objectives and competences

The objective of the course is to provide the basics for understanding the measurement procedures in the field of technology, to understand the principles of the operation of sensors, to be aware of the basics of the preparation of experiments, the design of the measurement chain and the effects of measurement uncertainty.

Content (Syllabus outline)

• introduction to properties of measurement variables, measurement transducers and transfer functions • measurements of displacement with the sensors of angular rotation, rotational speed, acceleration, measurements of deformations and force with strain gauges, measurements of torque, measurements of pressure with fluid U tube and ring sensors, deformation pressure sensors, measurements of temperature, sensors based on expansion, fluid thermometers, resistance thermometers, thermocouples, measurements of volume and mass flow • introduction to measurement systems

Learning and teaching methods

Frontal teaching combined with methods of electronic education.

Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding

Knowledge and Understanding: Upon completion of the course, the student will know how to: • describe approaches to measuring the physical process, • apply measurement to the physical process, • explain the composition of the measuring chain, • evaluate the selection of optimal components, • and analyze the impact of measurement uncertainty on the measured process.

Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
