Measurement technology 3: Measurement system technology

© Miller, M.C., Yunes, N. The new frontier of gravitational waves. Nature 568, 469–476 (2019)

This subject deals with the principles and practical implementation of sensors and measuring systems, in particular for process, production, medical and flow technology. In particular, knowledge of optical measurement (e.g. using lasers and photodetectors) is taught. Particular attention is paid to the basic principles of laser systems for measuring distances and speeds.

Electrical engineering degree program:
"Measurement Systems Engineering" is a sub-subject of the module "Process Control Engineering", (V/Ü/P: 1/1/0, 6th p.).
Mechatronics degree program:
"Measurement Systems Engineering" is a sub-subject of the module "Fundamentals of Sensors and Measurement Systems". (V/Ü/P: 1/1/0, 8. S)
Computer Science degree program: "Measurement and Sensor Technology" is a sub-subject of the module "Computational Laser Metrology", specialization in the minor subject

You can also deepen your knowledge in the context of a diploma thesis, student research project or advanced seminar in our department. Further offers can be found in this overview.

The lecture is open to all students (ET, MT, physics...). However, previous knowledge from the course "Metrology 2" is expected, as well as basic knowledge of the properties of light (reflection and refraction, polarization, optical images: Mirrors, lenses, interference and diffraction) is advantageous. The examination can also be taken individually.

Lecture on Opal

Written exam

ET diploma: 180 min (measurement system technology and drive technology/actuator technology)

Measurement systems technology accounts for 50% and drive technology/actuator technology for 50% of the exam points. Drive technology/actuator technology is in turn divided into electrical drive technology (25 %) and fluid technology (25 %).

The overall grade of the written examination is included in the module grade (module ET-12 01 04 "Process control engineering") as examination performance PL2 at 50 %.

ET-Master: 90 min (Measurement Systems Technology)
(33.3 % of this grade is included in the module grade).

MT Diploma: 90 min (measurement system technology)
(40% of this grade is included in the module grade.)

Permitted aids:
Pens (no pencil, no pen with the color red/pink)

Pocket calculator:
Casio FX xxx-ES Sharp 500 series
Casio FX xxx-DE Texas Instruments 30 series
Casio FX xxx-MS

Formulary:

• Formulary of the Chair of Measurement and Sensor System Technique for Measurement System Technique (available via Opal)

and (additionally)

• ET-Diploma: THREE double-sided handwritten sheets (DIN A4).
• ET-Master, MT-Diploma: ONE double-sided handwritten sheet (DIN A4).

The use of other aids (e.g. book, script, own paper) is not permitted.
Additional paper for subsidiary calculations will be provided in exceptional cases.
Cell phones must be switched off and put away.

The use of unauthorized aids and visible cell phones is considered an attempt to cheat!

The exam is only offered in the summer semester!
