Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of theoretical and practical considerations involved in precision electrical measurements
- understand how various materials are used in electrical engineering and how to characterise them;
- demonstrate practical skills as well as the ability to carry out successful measurements of low-level signals
- minimize interference phenomena observed in high-sensitivity electrical measurements.
