A THREE-STEP APPROACH TO PRACTICAL TRAINING IN MEASUREMENT

Paul P.L.Regtien, Ciska Heida
Abstract:
This paper reports on a training program in measurement for undergraduate students, in which emphasis is put on a critical attitude with respect to the whole measurement process. A thorough analysis of the measurement environment, the measurement devices and the signal processing are prerequisites for a correct interpretation of the measurement results. These skills are trained using a complete system built up in modules that can be studied separately. The student starts with the characterization of transducers, followed by studying the associated signal processing and finally evaluates the performance of the complete measurement system, all by hands-on experiments.
