Learning Outcomes
Competences
Students are able to analyse and evaluate the basic principles of measurement and sensor technology as well as to apply them to various measurement tasks. They are able to select suitable methods, devices and sensors for specific measurement tasks as well as to assess their areas of application and limits. They are further able to determine the measurement uncertainty of a measurement system.
Skills Knowledge
Students are able to,

  • find suitable devices and methods as well as suitable sensors for a given measurement task, recognise and evaluate their areas of application and limitations (k3/k4/k5)
  • analyse and evaluate the function of electronic measuring circuits (k4/k5)
  • analyse and evaluate the functionality and physical principles of selected resistive, capacitive, inductive, optoelectronic and thermoelectric sensors in different applications (k4/5)
  • understand, analyse and evaluate the measurement of electrical and non-electrical quantities (k3/4/5),
  • determine the measurement uncertainty of a measurement system and take it into account in practical tasks (k4/5),
  • apply digital measurement technology and analyse computer-aided measurement data acquisition (k4/5).
Students have knowledge of the following areas:

  • the measurement chain
  • properties of sensors and measurement systems
  • the calculation and analysis of measurement uncertainties
  • measurement of electrical quantities such as current, voltage and power
  • measurement techniques for resistors, impedances and bridge circuits
  • the use of operational amplifiers in measuring circuits
  • the measurement of non-electrical quantities (displacement, angle, speed, acceleration, strain, force, temperature, pressure and flow)
  • operating principles of resistive, capacitive, inductive, magnetic, optoelectronic and thermoelectric sensors
  • the principles of time and frequency measurement
  • digital measurement technology, including sampling and digital-to-analogue and analogue-to-digital converters
  • the use of measuring devices (oscilloscope, multimeter) and computer-aided measurement data acquisition.
  • Basics of spectral analysis
