Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be made familiar with principles of measuring systems, measuring of the physical quantities and data evaluation. This process is based on individual experimental work with the selected experimental apparatus.

Prerequisites

Knowledge from the area of the electric current conductivity in metals and semiconductors, basic equations of the geometrical optics, description of the interference.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through practical laboratory work.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Each student has to write tests and reports of his/her measured results from all twelve seminars.

Course curriculum
