Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years (1.8.2018-31.7.2020), which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
- The student knows the measurement principles of temperature, humidity, flow and other relevant quantities in energy technology
- The student is able to use regular measuring and data acquisition equipmen
- The student is able to identify most important factors influencing the measurement result and measurement uncertainty
- The student is able to estimate measurement uncertainty in a quantitative manner
- The student knows which factors influence the gain and dynamics of a process and is able to tune a PID-controller

CONTENT, ASSESSMENT AND WORKLOAD
Content
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Lectures:
- Introduction
- Flow measurement
- Temperature measurement
- Pressure measurement
- Measurement uncertainty
- Data acquisition
- Controls I & II
Laboratory measurements:
- Temperature
- Flow
- Control demonstration
- Device measurement (combustion engine)
Assessment Methods and Criteria
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Lectures + laboratory measurements in small groups. Measurement reports are written in groups for each laboratory exercise, and graded on a scale of 0-5. Additionally, each student is given a grade for their individual effort during the course and this grade is used as a weighing factor when determining the final course grade. Anonymous peer-review among the group is used to determine the individual effort grade.
Workload
Valid 01.08.2020-31.07.2022:
Teamwork (laboratory measurements, reporting) 100 hours
Lectures 16 hours
Preparative tasks for measurements 16 hours
