Introduction of students with measurement infrastructure and metrology principles. Dimensional and form measurements in aircraft engineering. Developing measurement skills. Training students to apply statistical methods in metrology. Developing students" critical thinking based on scientific knowledge.

Student responsibilities:

Grading and evaluation of student work over the course of instruction and at a final exam:

Active participation during lecturers or exercises - 10% Exam from laboratory exercises - 30% Final exam - 60%

Methods of monitoring quality that ensure acquisition of exit competences:

In order to have continuous monitoring of quality performance of the Course an anonymous, simple and quick questionnaires of student"s opinion will be preformed by use of module Moodle application Question. The readiness of students to other forms of engagement will be analyzed (research, discussion, development projects, etc.) At the end, the quality of Course will be assessed through University questionnaire that student fulfills online, through the ISVU system, in order to evaluate work of teachers and the attractiveness of topics.

Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to (learning outcomes):

After successfully completing the course, the student will be able to: Interpret fundamental metrological concepts and methods. Competently perform measurements in the field of dimensional metrology. Evaluate measurement system capability. Estimate measurement uncertainty. Evaluate measurement results based on critical thinking and intellectual honesty.
