Prerequisite: 619-001 Engineering Statistics or equivalent
Contact: 23 hours of lectures and 16 hours of tutorial and laboratory work
Timetable: Second semester
Objectives:
On completion of this subject a student should be able to:
- identify and appreciate the importance of standards
- relate geometric tolerances to dimensional errors
- differentiate between the various fundamental measurement approaches
- perform and interpret error analyses
- understand the components and requirements of measurement systems
- possess knowledge of the sources of measurement errors and how their influence may be reduced
