The goal is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of each of the following items and to appropriately apply the knowledge learned.
(1) Measurement data processing (units and standards, and statistical data processing)
(2) Measurement systems analysis and characterization (system evaluation methods and digital signal processing)
(3) Various basic measurement principles (basic principles and their applications)
Outline:
Recent breakthroughs in technology demand more accurate measurements. In addition, there is an increasing need for computer-based measurement automation and online and in-process measurement in production systems. This lecture will
1) briefly review the basic items common to various applied measurements (what is measurement engineering, units and standards, measurement data processing, measurement system characteristics and system analysis, etc.); then 2) discuss in detail the various basic measurement principles (basic principles of signal conversion).
Style:
Classes will be held in a lecture style.
Notice:
This course's content will amount to 90 hours of study in total. These hours include the learning time guaranteed in classes and the standard self-study time required for pre-study / review, and completing assignment reports.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
