Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students can deepen the knowledge in the field of measurement techniques in mechanical engineering. They acquire knowledge about the analyze measurement system by the help I gather capability of measurement systems. Another part of students gain knowledge about the product quality control and quality management systems in industry and services. They gain an comprendium of the management tools and methods that are used in quality assurance.
Recommended Optional Programme Components
Common optional components are not offered, students of special interest can participate in departmental activities or can arrange consulting hours with lecturer.
