Fundamentals of electrical measurements
Aim of this course is to learn the basic concepts of measurement and uncertainty, also within a statistical approach, and to critically apply those concepts to the acquisition, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, with particular emphasis on electrical and electronic quantities.
Measurements for clinical engineering:
The overall aim of the course of Measurements for Clinical Engineering is providing the students with basic knowledge and skills about the measurement systems in dependance of the needs of the experiment and/or the user of the instrumentation within Clinical Engineering measurements and applications of mechanical quantities. In particular the main characteristics of specific components of each measuring system will be explained in dependance on principal measuring characteristics and their working principles.
