Course Description

Not only is the measurement merely to measure the physical quantities, but it includes all acts of the quantitative recognition of things such as the research of the measurement, the development of measurement methods, the data processing for measurement data, and the recognition for the measurement of objects.

Contents of this course are as follows:
- Physical background for measurement data
- Principle of measurements
- Methods of measurements
- Processing of measurement data
- Correct evaluation for measurement values with errors
- Method of processing signal data with noise

This course relates to DP4.

Course Objectives

The aim of this course is to make students understand the significance of measurements and acquire the ability to perform correct evaluation for measurement values, to express measurement results correctly, and to process measurement data properly.

Grading Policy

Final Exam: 60%
Middle Exam and Exercises: 20%
