Metrology

Course Highlights

The goal of this course is to provide students with an understanding of the science of measurement and to apply techniques for analyze, identifier and distinguish the statistical data of the measurements. Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to design and to apply measurement techniques for any kind of physical variable.
