Course detail

Practical Metrology

FSI-XPTAcad. year: 2022/2023

This course discusses metrology in the Czech Republic, EU and in the World. Students are familiarized with the measurement principles in detail with emphasis on the practical aspects of dimensional control, geometric tolerances and surface texture evaluation. Special emphasis is devoted to the issue of 3-D measurement and software support of metrological processes in the ISO GPS system.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Theoretical knowledge in metrology obtained in the lectures. Practical knowledge of measurement obtained in exercies, elaboration of measured variables in compliance with geometrical requirements on the products (GPS).

Prerequisites

The basic knowledge of engineering technology, the knowledge of secondary school mathematics and the bases of statistics.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures explaining the basic principles and theory of the discipline. Teaching is suplemented by practical laboratory work.
According to the possibility of teaching can be organized lectures for students by practitioners and excursions to companies focused on activities related to the course content.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The course-unit credits award is based on attendance at seminars, correct elaboration of computational assignment and active participation in its processing.
The final exam will be composed of written and oral part. It is graded on the ECTS grading scale.

Aims

Familiarize the students with concepts in metrology and with techniques in correlation to measurement and measurement methods.

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

Attendance at lectures is voluntary, however recommended. In case of regularly apologized student’s absence in the laboratory practice, the student may attend the laboratory practice together with other student team if
agreed with the lecturer, or again in case of an apologized absence to participate in the alternative laboratory practice at the end of the semester.

Recommended optional programme components
