Arviointiasteikko

H-5

Sisällön jaksotus

In this course the student will learn the basics of measurement technology. The course contains basic concepts in Metrology such as the SI-system, Measurement uncertainty, Traceability and Calibration, as well as more practical content about the measurement of different physical quantities.

Tavoitteet

This course is focused measurement instrumentation. A student who passes this course should at a minimum understand and explain different measurement setups. A student that passes this course with a higher grade should be able to analyze measurement problems and implement measurement systems for them.

There is no exam in the course.

Pedagogiset toimintatavat ja kestävä kehitys

The students will independently study the theory presented on ItsLearning and in the course litterature. The group exercises will be done at campus during contact days.

Toteutuksen valinnaiset suoritustavat

Equivalent studies performed elsewhere.

Opiskelijan ajankäyttö ja kuormitus

The theoretical part of the course is done remotely on the ItsLearning platform.
The practical part is done as group exercises in measurement technology at campus.

Arviointimenetelmät ja arvioinnin perusteet

The grading will be based 50% on the individual assignments in Itslearning, and 50% on the group exercise.
