Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will understand measuring instruments control. They gain overview of sensors that are used for measurement of basic quantities within building services specialization. Students will be able to prepare and to realize standard measurements. Further they gain knowledge for evaluation of measurements. Students will be able to use this knowledge for complex problems solution of their diploma works.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of theory and function principles of systems within building services specialization, knowledge of fundamental calculations in this area.

Co-requisites

Knowledge of applied thermomechanic and hydraulic.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. The lectures include elaboration of theory related to experimental task, measurement methods and information on measuring instruments and sensors. During practices the students practice experimental measurements in department laboratory and its evaluation.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Compulsory attendance at practices. Recommended attendance at lectures. Realization of experimental measurements at department laboratory. Protocols submission in the credit week. Fulfilment of written exam at a satisfactory grade.
