AbstractThe course presents an overview of measurement tasks in engineering environments. Different concepts for the acquisition and processing of typical measurement quantities are introduced. Following an initial in-class introduction, laboratory exercises from different application areas (especially in thermofluidics, energy, and process engineering) are attended by students in small groups.
Learning objectiveIntroduction to various aspects of measurement techniques, with particular emphasis on thermo-fluidic, energy, and process-engineering applications.

Understanding of various sensing technologies and analysis procedures.

Exposure to typical experiments, diagnostics hardware, data acquisition, and processing.

Study of applications in the laboratory. Fundamentals of scientific documentation and reporting.
ContentIn-class introduction to representative measurement techniques in the research areas of the participating institutes (fluid dynamics, energy technology, and process engineering).

Student participation in ~6 laboratory experiments (study groups of ~3 students, dependent on the number of course participants and available experiments).

Lab reports for all attended experiments have to be submitted by the study groups.
Lecture notesPresentations, handouts, and instructions are provided for each experiment.
