Sensors and measuring instruments play a key role in industry and everyday life and provide the data for digitalization in laboratories and industrial processes.  After attending the course, students will be familiar with the principles of determining physical quantities with the help of sensors and measuring devices. Students will be able to select suitable sensors and evaluate their measurement accuracy. To achieve the objective, sensors are considered as examples and the physical principles on which the sensor is based are presented.

Contents:

1. introduction: measuring data with physical methods in everyday life and in technology
with the help of the smartphone

2. physical effects for sensor use: mechanical, electrical, optical properties and effects  

3. measurement of mechanical quantities: Forces, pressure,

 and strain

4. sensors for measuring distances, geometry and topography

5. measurement of spectra and radiation

6. measurement of the structure and composition of materials
