| GERE0006-5 | Environmental metrology, part 2
|
|
| Duration : | 12h Th, 12h Pr |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Marie-France Destain, Benoît Mercatoris |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| Teaching in the first semester, review in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| The second part of this course is about the study of the physical principles used in sensors. The measurements of the main physical variables encountered by the bioengineer are detailled, in particular:
- Position and displacement measurement
- Force and strain measurement
- Pressure and flow measurement
- Temperature measurement
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| After completing the course, the student is expected to
- Understand the physical principles of sensors
- Select a appropriate sensor for a given application
- Design an acquisition data
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| ELEC0438-1 (http://progcours.ulg.ac.be/cocoon/cours/ELEC0438-1.html) Electricity
STAT1206-1 (http://progcours.ulg.ac.be/cocoon/cours/STAT1206-1.html) Fundamental statistics
STAT1207-1 (http://progcours.ulg.ac.be/cocoon/en/cours/STAT1207-1.html) Applied statistics |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The practical works are performed at the laboratory. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course of environmental metrology is an hybrid course (LANG2956-1 (http://progcours.ulg.ac.be/cocoon/cours/LANG2956-1.html)). An active part of this is given in English:
- Lectures in English
- Practical Works in French
- Projet in group in English
|
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| The theoretical course is based on the following reference books:
- Figliola R.S. (1991). Theory and design for mechanical measurements, Wiley
- Holman J.P. (2001). Experimental methods for Engineers. McGraw-Hill Int. Edition, Seventh Edition
- Fraden J. (1997). Handbook of modern sensors, American Institute of Physics, Woodbury, New York
|
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| In first session, a written exam in French will be organised including a theoretical part with notes and a practical part without notes.
An oral exam in French will be organised in second session
A presentation of the project in English will be foreseenduring the last session (end of december). The presentation will be assessed on both the English communication and the technical content. |
