FYS-2008 Measurement techniques - 10 stp
The course is administrated by
Institutt for fysikk og teknologi
Type of course
The course is available as a singular course. The course is also available to exchange students and Fulbright students.
Course overlap
FYS-290 Measurement techniques, general principles 9 ects
Course contents
The course provides a fundamental understanding of sensors and measurement systems, and how to interpret and present measured data. General elements in measuring systems like sensors, signal conditioning, electrical circuits and operational amplifiers will be described. Some of the general elements will be investigated further through simulations and lab experiments. The course also includes static and dynamic models for measurement systems and calibration of these. Statistical methods relevant for describing errors in measurement systems and correlation between measured data are also covered.
Admission requirements
Admission requirements are generell studiekompetanse + SIVING.
Local admission, application code 9391 - singular courses in engineering sciences.
