Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to:
- Get a basic, in good engineering practice to use the knowledge and skills of sensor technology and sensors
- Discuss basic design concept of the measuring chain
- To determine the optimal method of measurement,
- Define the measured data and
- Describe the process and evaluate the measured results
- To measure basic physical quantities and
- More.
Students will acquire basic knowledge and skills (including basic practical) of measurement methods most frequently used physical quantities, including the design concept of measurement, processing and interpretation of results.

Prerequisites

Knowledge is required in the Bachelor's degree level (BMFV) and valid examination for qualifying workers for an independent activity (within the meaning of § 6 of the Decree).

Graduates who writes the course should be chopen:
- Describe different types (types of) sensors,
- Explain the modulation used in sensors,
- Describe and list the analog and digital sensors and measurement methods,
- Explain interference phenomena and the resulting possibilities

Aims

The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the basic methods of measuring the major non-electrical quantities that represent at least 93 % of all measured values. The aim is to provide knowledge for an educated decision about selecting the most appropriate methods, the type of sensors and instrumentation, to highlight problem areas associated with the design of the measuring chain (parasitic effects, calibration, diagnostics, etc.) and learning with practical experience.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Laboratory is compulsory, properly excused absences laboratory exercises (maximum of two) can be arranged with the teacher substitute (usually in the credit week).
Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and usually provides annual public notice.
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.
