Teaching Method

Outline:

Various measurement methods are important both in the manufacturing field and in the research and development field. Accuracy, cost, reliability and persuasiveness of data are significantly different depending on the measurement method. And industrial machinery and surrounding electrical products are controlled by using these measurement results. In this subject, the purpose is to acquire knowledge about measurement, study how to measure various physical quantities using measuring equipment, and understand how they are used in the control field.

Style:

Lesson plans may be changed according to the student’s degree of understanding.
