Objectives
Subject knowledge:
The course aims to enable students to comprehend the fundamentals of measurement in engineering as well as basic sciences. Upon completion, students should be proficient in defining the basics of measurement, describing the operational principles of various sensors, explaining the fundamental principles of signal systems, and understanding common signal transformations. Additionally, students should be able to recognize prevalent measurement uncertainties and errors, evaluate the reliability of results, and articulate the operating principle of measuring system calibration.
Furthermore, the course provides the opportunity for students to tailor their studies based on their strengths. By the end of the course, students should be capable of describing the operating principles of the most common measurement methods. They should also possess the ability to assess the applicability of methods and apply different research techniques in the fields of mechanical engineering or material characterization. Ultimately, students should be skilled at integrating knowledge acquired through diverse research methods into a cohesive whole.
During the lab sessions, an emphasis is placed on sustainability principles related to design and materials, encouraging students to assess the environmental impact. Additionally, the economic viability of measurement technologies is explored through guest lectures from industry experts who apply these technologies in practice.
Work-life skills:
Throughout the course, students will learn essential teamwork and communication skills, refining their ability to engage with experts across various fields. A key component of the curriculum involves the practical application of information visualization and the presentation of results. Hands-on experience in device fabrication and device calibration will serve to further enhance these skills, providing students with invaluable real-world expertise. The course places a strong emphasis on fostering self-awareness and personal growth. Students are encouraged to reflect on and evaluate their learning, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of their strengths and areas for improvement. This whole approach ensures that students not only acquire technical proficiency but also develop a keen awareness of their learning processes and capabilities.
