Course detail
Sensorics, Measurment and Industrial Diagnostics
FSI-VMD Acad. year: 2020/2021 Winter semester
The course is focused on issues of technical diagnostics, sensors and measurements. The importance of these individual scientific areas is explained and their connection and importance for technical practice is emphasized. Basic concepts are discussed.
Subsequently, attention is focused on metrology. Selected technical quantities and their units are defined. Calibration and verification of meters are also included, as well as measurement uncertainties. Attention is also focused on measuring instruments and their properties. An important part of this course is sensors and a description of the properties of individual sensors. There is also a mention of smart sensors and their possible use in diagnostics, automation, etc. An important part of the course are methods of measuring physical quantities. The signal analysis, methods and approaches are also discussed in detail. Faults are important for technical equipment, these are
specified. Subsequently, off-line and on-line diagnostics, classification, diagnostic tools, diagnostic systems and also current trends in diagnostics are described.
Considerable space in the lectures is reserved for individual diagnostic methods, such as vibrodiagnostics, electrodiagnostics, thermodiagnostics, noise diagnostics, acoustic emission, tribodiagnostics, assembly and optical measurements. The condition of technical equipment is also viewed in terms of reliability and maintenance.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course "Sensors, Measurement and Diagnostics" is to understand the basic facts from the mentioned areas and also to clarify the connections needed for technical practice. Students acquire a relatively high level of competence in the field of sensorics, measurement and technical diagnostics.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites and co-requisites Basic knowledge of physics, mathematics, statistics and mechanics is expected at the level of completed subjects in the framework of university studies.
Co-requisites
Co-requisites are not expected in the course.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course is taught in the form of lectures, which are an explanation of the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is complemented by laboratory exercises, where the theoretical knowledge gained from lectures is practically verified. Where possible, lectures will be organized for practitioners and field trips to companies dealing with activities related to the subject matter.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
The course consists of exercises and lectures. Exercises are compulsory. Exercise is completed by credit (awarded in the 13th week). To obtain it, 100% attendance at seminars, activity at seminars and elaboration and submission of protocols from all prescribed laboratory exercises are required. Further details are given at the beginning of the semester.
The exam is written and oral. The evaluation of the test result is given by the ECTS grading scale.
Work placements
If internships are organized by the institute, participation is possible after approval. The same applies to student mobility events organized by FME or BUT.
Aims
Learning outcomes of the course unit The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge in the field of sensorics, measurement and technical diagnostics. These areas of science are important today to understand the problems in technical practice. The aim is also to become familiar with the maintenance of technical equipment, because it can significantly affect the economy of the company. The operability of technical equipment is also associated with an important area, namely reliability. Thus, the aim of the course is to understand the basic facts of reliability.
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences
Controlled participation in lessons: Controlled participation in lessons: 100% attendance at seminars is required. In case of absence, the student is obliged to compensate the lessons.
Recommended optional programme components
Participation in professional excursions in educational institutions or companies that deal with problem solving according to the course syllabus is expected. It is also possible to attend lectures on the subject.
