|---|---|
| KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: MEASUREMENT THEORY AND UNCERTAINTY IN MEASUREMENTS. GENERAL ARCHITECTURE OF A MODERN MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR GENERIC QUANTITIES, TRANSDUCTION AND CONDITIONING OF MEASUREMENT SIGNALS TO BASIC ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES. STATIC AND DYNAMIC FEATURES OF A MEASURING SYSTEM. LOAD EFFECTS IN CONNECTING MEASURING INSTRUMENTS TO PASSIVE COMPONENTS AND TRANSDUCERS. ARCHITECTURE, PREDISPOSITION AND USE OF NUMERIC MULTIMETERS FOR MEASUREMENT OF BASIC ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES (VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE). SYSTEMS AND TECHNIQUES FOR DATA ACQUISITION. ELEMENTS OF AUTOMATION AND AUTOMATIC MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS. SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT FOR VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT. DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION FOR INDUSTRIAL AND LABORATORY APPLICATIONS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – ENGINEERING ANALYSIS ABILITIES TO IDENTIFY THE MOST SUITABLE INSTRUMENT FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF INTEREST, TO DEFINE METHODS AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES FOR REDUCING UNCERTAINTY. ESTIMATION OF THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE MEASUREMENTS OBTAINED WITH TRADITIONAL INSTRUMENTATION AND THE VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT REALIZED. ABILITY TO ACQUIRE AND ANALYZE SIGNALS THROUGH ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL SYSTEMS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SIGNALS IN BOTH TIME AND FREQUENCY DOMAINS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING – ENGINEERING DESIGN DESIGNING A MEASURING CHAIN AND DESIGNING A VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT FOR MEASURING MEASUREMENTS USEFUL FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING AND IN GENERAL FOR AUTOMATION AND CONTROL OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES. MAKING JUDGMENTS - ENGINEERING PRACTICE: KNOW HOW TO LOCATE AND REALIZE THE CIRCUIT FOR MEASURING THE BASIC ELECTRICAL QUANTITIES AND TO MINIMIZE ERRORS AND MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MEASUREMENT PROCESS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS – TRANSVERSAL SKILLS: UNDERSTANDING TERMINOLOGY IN THE CONTEXT OF MEASUREMENTS AND, IN PARTICULAR, ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS AND TRANSDUCERS, INSTRUMENTATION, AND EXPRESSION OF THEIR METROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS. KNOW HOW TO EXPOSE ORALLY TOPICS RELATED TO MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS, KNOW HOW TO WORK IN GROUPS AND EFFECTIVELY DESCRIBE THE VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT YOU HAVE DESIGNED AND REALIZED. LEARNING SKILLS – TRANSVERSAL SKILLS: KNOW HOW TO APPLY ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND TO DEEPEN THE TOPICS DISCUSSED, ADAPTING THEM TO SPECIFIC APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| Compulsory pre-requisites are not required but the student should have previously acquired the basics of electrical circuits, math analysis, and statistics. |
| Contents | |
|---|---|
| - MEASUREMENT AND UNCERTAINTY MEASUREMENT THEORY, SYSTEMATIC ERRORS, STATISTICS FOR MEASUREMENTS AND TRACEABILITY TO THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM. (9 HOURS OF THEORY) - NUMERICAL STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF MEASUREMENT DATA AND EVALUATION OF UNCERTAINTY. (4 HOURS OF CLASSROOM EXERCISES) - GENERAL ARCHITECTURE OF A MODERN MEASUREMENT SYSTEM, SENSORS AND TRANSDUCERS, CONDITIONING CIRCUITS. (3 HOURS OF THEORY) - STATIC AND DYNAMIC GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM. (3 HOURS OF THEORY) - VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WITH DIGITAL MULTIMETERS. LOAD EFFECTS IN VOLTAGE AND CURRENT MEASUREMENTS. (3 HOURS OF THEORY) - PRACTICES ON VOLTAGE, CURRENT AND RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS WITH DIGITAL MULTIMETERS. (3 HOURS OF LABORATORY EXERCISES) - DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS. (3 HOURS OF THEORY) - REMOTE CONTROL OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS. (2 HOURS OF THEORY) - SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT FOR VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT: LABVIEW. (15 HOURS OF LABORATORY EXERCISES) - DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT FOR INDUSTRIAL OR LABORATORY APPLICATIONS. (15 HOURS OF LABORATORY) |
| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE INCLUDES FRONTAL LESSONS (23 HOURS), CLASSROOM EXERCISES (4 HOURS), LABORATORY EXERCISES ON THE USE OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS (3 HOURS), LABORATORY EXERCISES ON EMPLOYING A GRAPHIC ENVIRONMENT FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION (15 HOURS), TEAM PROJECT (DESIGN AND REALIZATION OF A VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT) IN THE LABORATORY ON A TOPIC ASSIGNED BY THE LECTURER (15 HOURS). DURING THE COURSE OF THE PROJECT, EACH GROUP WILL HAVE UP TO 5 STUDENTS. ATTENDANCE AT THE LECTURES IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE COURSE IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING A THIRTY-YEAR EVALUATION EXAM (THE MINIMUM PASSING LEVEL CORRESPONDS TO "18" AND THE MAXIMUM TO "30 CUM LAUDE"), WHICH INCLUDES A SINGLE ORAL TEST AND AIMED AT: 1) CHECKING THE LEARNING OF THE TOPICS COVERED IN THE THEORY HOURS THE STUDENT WILL BE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS ON THE THEORY COVERED DURING THE COURSE; 2) VERIFY THE GOOD RESULT OF THE PROJECT DEVELOPED IN LABVIEW ASSIGNED BY THE TEACHER IN THE FINAL PART OF THE COURSE; 3) VERIFY THE ABILITY TO DESCRIBE THE TOPICS COVERED; 4) TO VERIFY THE AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT IN PROPOSING THE MOST APPROPRIATE APPROACH TO ARGUE WHAT IS REQUIRED. IN ORDER TO PASS THE EXAMINATION, IT IS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE ADEQUACY BOTH IN THE SUBJECTS COVERED IN THE THEORY HOURS AND IN THE VERIFICATION (ACHIEVEMENT AND DESCRIPTION CAPACITY) OF THE ASSIGNED LABORATORY PROJECT. IN ADDITION, THE STUDENT ACHIEVES A LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE IF HE DEMONSTRATES THE ABILITY TO MAKE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE THEORETICAL TOPICS DEALT WITH AND DEMONSTRATES FULL MASTERY OVER THE ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT DURING THE LABORATORY PROJECT. |
