Course description
Measurement is the process of acquiring quantitative knowledge about things. It is an essential tool in all scientific research involving experiments, as well as in manufacturing and diagnostics. The primary objective of this course is to understand the fundamental concepts of measurement techniques and data evaluation methods. This course also covers a significant amount of material required for the "Basic Experiments in Electronic Information" course (taken in the second semester of the second year in Department P). Students intending to take "Basic Experiments in Electronic Information" are strongly advised to complete this course first.
Goals and objectives
  1. Students can explain the fundamental concepts of measurement and the origins of units.
  2. Students can explain the basic methods for measuring electrical quantities.
  3. Students can explain how to handle errors that arise during measurement.
  4. The graph can be created correctly.
