Physics is a basic field of science, and is the academic discipline which is based on experimental results.
It means that learning the physics is indispensable for study on the engineering.
Here, "learning" measurements are carried out in order to acquire a manner and a habit for the study of science.
Thus, this course introduces the understanding of the physical meaning of each measurement subject and the skill of the measurement.
Concretely, this course introduces the base of the error theory, measurements of volume of materials, and 11th subjects.

Physics is a basic field of science, and learning the physics is indispensable for the study on the engineering.
This course deals with "learning" measurements, which is well-known subject, and enhances the skill of measurements on science and on engineering in the future.
At the end of the course, participants are expected to understand the significance and the meaning of each physical phenomenon, and to acquire penetration and logical consideration.
Through making papers and presentations, participants are expected to acquire the skill of drawing up reports on fields of engineering which is based on objective results, and the skill to explain investigated results for other persons.
