Objetivos

Provide students with skills to:
1) have general knowledge of physics directly involved in the principles and techniques of instrumentation
2) have basic knowledge of metrology, namely the concepts of accuracy, sensitivity, resolution and uncertainty, and their application in the areas of instrumentation and measurement;
3) understand the operating principles of analogue and digital measuring instruments, as well as identify the main characteristics and limitations of the measurement;
4) know the principle of operation of measurement transducers and be able to design circuits for measuring industrial quantities.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

Skills in the following areas: metrology (general), analogue and digital instrumentation, use of transducers for industrial measurement applications.

Obtenção de frequência

The minimum grade in the continuous evaluation by tests is 8 values in any of the (two) tests.
In situations where the teaching staff deems it necessary, final grades greater than 16 may be defended in oral tests. If the student does not attend these oral tests, his final classification will be 16 points.

Once approved in continuous assessment, the student will only be able to improve the grade during the appeal period.
Rules for conducting tests:
• When requested, it is mandatory to present an identification document during the tests.
• Only tests written in EST Setúbal test/exam notebooks are accepted.
• Leaving the room can only be done 30 minutes after the start of the test/exam and implies the final delivery of the test, and the delay in entry cannot, under any circumstances, exceed 15 minutes.
• Calculating machines with graphic or alphanumeric capabilities can only be used during the tests if the teacher authorizes it.
• During the tests it is not allowed to handle or display mobile phones (which must be turned off) and other electronic equipment, constituting the use of any of this type of equipment as reason for the cancellation of the test.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

The final grade is calculated according to the following formula:
NF=0.9*EF+0.1*DSA;
EF- average classification of the 2 tests or the classification in the final exam;

DSA- performance in the classroom.

In the case of evaluation by exam, the note of the PE component corresponds to the classification obtained in this test.

Improvement of the final classification distributed
The student can improve his final grade obtained by continuous assessment by taking the exam.
