<objectives>In this module, students will acquire basic knowledge in the field of conventional metrology and control technology and understand how to implement basic functional setups. They will be familiar in particular with measuring methods for measuring displacement, strain, force, accelerations, rotational speed, torque, pressure, flow rate, temperature, current, voltage, resistances and will be able to assess their properties and set up and operate said measuring equipment independently.
Students will be proficient in the practical selection of controllers and their settings. They will be familiar with the design and setting of control loops.</objectives>
