Course Content
This course covers the basic concepts of measurement systems, units of measurement, and the classification of measuring instruments. Practical applications include the use of basic hand tools (calipers, micrometers, comparators) and sensor systems. Students learn to measure physical quantities such as temperature, pressure, force, and position, process the data, and apply feedback principles in control systems.
Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to teach the fundamental principles of measurement and control systems, enabling students to effectively use measurement instruments for accurate data acquisition, analysis, and interpretation. It also aims to develop an understanding of sensors, transducers, and control elements, and to provide practical experience in performing measurement and feedback applications to improve system performance.
