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. In this subject, the purpose is to acquire knowledge about measurement, study how to measure various physical quantities using measuring equipment.
