Course description and aims
Precision measurement technology is not only essential to measure, evaluate and control the quality of industrial products, but also plays an important role in the field of research and development.
This course will focus on the following points regarding precision measurement technology.
1. Basic knowledge of precision measurement, International system of units (SI), measurement standard
2. Geometry, pressure, force, temperature, electrical measurement
3. Analysis of measurement data, signal processing
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand measurement standards and metrics.
2) Understand principles and characteristics of various measurement methods or apparatuses.
3) Learn processes of measurement data and practice them.
This course corresponds to following study objectives.
6. Developmental expertise in mechanical engineering
7. Ability to make use of specialized knowledge to solve new problems and make creative proposals
Course taught by instructors with work experience
| ✔ Applicable | How instructors' work experience benefits the course |
|---|---|
| One of the lecturer has 12 years of experience working with the National Research Laboratory of Metrology of the MITI for developing national standards of nanometer length, precision measurement and calibration technology, with practical experience in mechanical measurement. The practices and research contents will be reflected in the lecture. |
