ONE DAY COURSE DESCRIPTION
"INTRODUCTION TO MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY"
by Ronald H.
Dieck
This course is intended for
scientists and engineers interested in evaluating experimental accuracy. It is
in complete harmony with the principles of the ISO and other international
standards on measurement uncertainty. Included are the basics of the
measurement uncertainty model, evaluating systematic and random error sources,
fundamentals of uncertainty budgets and the statistics needed for uncertainty
analysis. Extra attention is placed on the personal problems of developing
confidence in uncertainty analysis results and on using measurement uncertainty
to select instrumentation systems. Special emphasis on understanding is
achieved through lecture, discussion, two class experiments and the in-class
working of many homework problems. After this one-day course, the students will
be able to apply basic uncertainty analysis techniques to experimental test
problems in order to help achieve the test objectives more productively and at
lower cost. This course is taught on a college level presuming that the
students have least BS degrees in engineering or science. Students need
to bring calculators to work the experiments and problems.
