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
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
