- 1. Theoretical principles of nanometrology. 2. Problems in ensuring measurement traceability in the field of dimensional nanometrology. 3. Measurement methods and measuring equipment in the field on nanometrology.
- 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% Quality of seminar paper - 50% Oral public presentation of seminar (discussion, questions, answers) - 40%
- 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: 1. Interpret fundamental metrological concepts and theoretical principles in the field of dimensional nanometrology. 2. Compare and recommend the method in the field of dimensional nanometrology with respect to the measurand. 3. Conduct interferometric measurements in the field of dimensional nanometrology. 4. Critically deliberate the reproducibility of measurement results in the field of dimensional nanometrology. 5. Debate the issues of ensuring traceability in the field of dimensional nanometrology.
