Summary
The course is aimed in the first part of the review of physical measurements and implementation of experimental work, including the process of evaluation of the data obtained. The second part of the lesson will be familiarizing metrology systems used in the Czech Republic and used gauges.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the fundamental problems of physical technikých measurements. Emphasis is placed on understanding the logical construction of the experiment. Particular attention is paid to the proper use of statistical methods in the measurement results. In addition, there are uveeny some basic information in the field of metrology, general physical methods and instrumentation. The course is a logic diagram of the experimental work, the organization of metrology concepts errors and measurement uncertainty, numerical representation of the value, application statistics, linear regression analysis, graphical methods of measurement and common measurement methods and concepts related to measurement means.
