Course overview and goals
Based on Engineering Measurement 1 (TSE.A232) and as a preparation for TSE Experiment (TSE.A351), this course focuses on understanding the fundamental principles in the measurement of physical quantities which are important in engineering, and covers basic electric and electronic circuits and applied analytical instruments.
Course description and aims
Students will be able to understand the measurement principles of physical quantities and analytical instruments in this course, so that they can acquire the ability to understand the real meaning of measurement results. This course does not however include proficiency in the operation of measurement instruments.
