6) convert electrical measuring units;
7) use appropriate literature;
8) select right sensors and measuring instruments guided by technical processes;
9) prepare mearuring schemes;
10) manage the measurement of the parameters and objectively assess the results of the measurements;
11) follow safety requirements during measurements.
Form description
Lectures, tests, practical works.
Evaluation methods
The course ends with an examination. Positively executed tests and practical works are the prerequisites of the exam. The examinee must answer written questions within the framework of lecture material. The final grade will turn out from the average grades of tests, practical works and exam.
