Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students are made familiar with present measuring instruments used at technical processes monitoring, with their accuracy limits and with mistakes that can occur during measuring or data processing.
Prerequisites
Knowledge on the level of the first four semesters of the study at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering is assumed.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Exercises are focused on practical topics presented in lectures.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
Graded course-unit requirements: Students must present reports on excursions and the semester paper. At the end of semester students demonstrate their knowledge of the subject matter.
Aims
The goal of course is to acquaint students with basic measuring instruments used in technical practice, with their usage and technical limits of measuring accuracy.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Controlled participation in lessons:
Attendance at seminars is registered. Missed seminars are compensated by writing a report on them.
