The field of measurement is extremely broad. Measurement engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering that spans across a wide range of fields based on physics. The most fundamental of the engineering is based on common basic principles, regardless of the measurement object.
In this course, the goal is to achieve the following competencies through learning:
1) Understand and can apply the basic issues common to various types of measurements: Units and standards, measurement methods, measurement errors and their processing.
2) Understand and can apply the structure and characteristics of the measurement system.
Outline:
In accordance with the development of science and technologies, measurement technology has evolved conspicuously. New measurement methods and instrumentation are being developed and used in rapid sequence. It is no exaggeration to say that advances in measurement technology have promoted the development of science and technologies. In this course, students will learn the basic concepts common to various types of measurements: Units and standards, measurement methods, measurement errors and their processing, the structure and characteristics of measurement systems, and the principles of various transducers (sensors), and students will learn the basics and applications of measurement technology.
Style:
Classes will be held in a lecture style.
Notice:
Students must ensure the basic knowledge of the various physical laws and effects that they have learned
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
