Learning outcomes |
The Curricular Unit (CU) Instrumentation and Measurement aims to provide students with fundamental concepts related to the science of metrology, foster the development of skills for planning and producing technical reports, delivering oral presentations, and acquiring competencies associated with experimental laboratory activities. By the end of this course, students should be able to: describe methods and techniques for assessing measurement quality; apply methods for measuring electrical quantities; understand the basic specifications of transducers used to measure the most important non-electrical quantities; identify the most relevant elements of the measurement chain; design basic measurement systems for specific applications; operate laboratory instrumentation effectively; Implement electrical circuits in a laboratory environment and analyse their performance.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
Teaching methodologies focus on the traditional model, where the teacher transmits knowledge and assessment is based on tests and exams. They also draw on the competency-based model, centred on results and practical skills, as well as the technological/digital model, which involves intensive use of ICT, online platforms and multimedia resources.
The final assessment is determined through an appropriate weighting of the student’s acquired theoretical knowledge, performance in laboratory activities, engagement in bibliographic research, and overall commitment.
T + TP Assessment: (TEST)
Will result from performance in a written exam.
PL (LAB) Assessment
Will result from performance in the 4 scheduled laboratory activities.
LAB = (Lab1 + Lab2 + Lab3 + Lab4) / 4
Attendance Requirement:
Achievement of a minimum score of 50% in the LAB assessment.
Final Grade Calculation:
FINAL GRADE = {65% TEST} + {35% LAB}
