Course description
Measurement engineering is a fundamental technical system in all engineering disciplines. In order to assert the subject matter of research, it is necessary to acquire data to show the basis of the research, process the data appropriately, and summarize the data in graphs and tables. For this purpose, it is necessary to construct a measurement system to accurately measure the physical quantity of interest, and it is important to understand the principles of the sensors used, the appropriate application of various filters to the acquired data, and the appropriate computational processing of data containing errors. This lecture covers the fundamentals of measurement engineering.
Purpose of class
Measurement techniques are very important to quantitatively evaluate things in the course of research and development related to mechanical engineering. The objective of this course is to master the principles of measurement devices so that students can understand the meaning of the numerical values evaluated quantitatively and use them appropriately.
Goals and objectives
  1. Explain the basic meanings of units, dimensions, probability distributions, significant figures, and uncertainties in measurement engineering.
  2. Explain shape, force, and temperature measurement techniques and their principles.
  3. Explain optical and electrical measurement techniques and their principles.
  4. Explain uncertainty and signal analysis.

Evaluation method and criteria
Two reports (worth 20 points), as well as a mid-term exam (worth 40 points) and a final exam (worth 40 points), for a total of 100 points. The reports will be divided into two parts.
Out of 100 points, 60 points is considered passing. The standard for passing the course is to understand basic technical terms and their meanings, to be able to calculate various quantities and understand their meanings, and to be able to explain each measurement technique and its principle. The level is to be able to explain each measurement technique and its principle.
