Course description
Measurement is an important technology as an aid to research in all branches of science and engineering as well as to maintain social safety in our daily life. The student will own the theoretical and systematic knowledge of the instrumentation for engineering measurements including its methodology, configuration, operating principle and property, whose objective is to collect the quantitative information yielded by the physical real world phenomena with the use of the artificial measurement instrument.
Expected Learning
Learners who successfully complete this course will be able to:
・Get basic ideas of measurements and the errors associated with measurement.
・Design of electronic circuit for the measurement of sensor output electrical signals (voltage, current, resistance, impedance).
・Gain an knowledge and ability to interpret principles, precisions and limitations of the various electronic measurement techniques in practical use in engineering.

Assessment/Grading
Class contribution: weekly small test is worth 10% of your grade.
Exams: Midterm and term-end exam will be given. Each exam is worth 45% of your grade.
Message from instructor(s)
The emphasis is not on understanding as mere knowledge (it is useless to know only the mechanical memorization before the exam is useless), but emphasizing the idea that leads to understanding and leads to conclusion rather than final conclusion. For this reason, I am going to ask questions in the essay style. Questions are also accepted from time to time, so I would like you to study hard.

Office hours
On demand.
Remarks 1
The initial schedule may be changed due to circumstances. Even in that case, as a rule, we do not change the schedule of midterm exams and final exams, so please prepare for this day. If you can not take the exam (unforeseen accident or illness) due to unavoidable circumstances, certain considerations may be made, provided that the following conditions are met.
1 Report immediately after the examination, 2 Attach objectively certifiable material (in case of illness, doctor's certificate)
