(First term) Nature of measurement, scales and measurement units. Complementary variables and postulates of measurement. Concepts of accuracy, precision, systematic and random errors. Probability, normal distribution function, elementary sampling. Propagation of errors in calculations, formation of measurement specifications. 2 lectures. Measurement Laboratory. (Second Term) Use of design morphology in development of measurement techniques for specific problems illustrating other Year I courses. 3 hours laboratory, alternate weeks. 24 Tutorial. Students will meet in very small groups with a faculty member designated as their tutor. Performance in problem assignments and conceptual difficulties with other courses will be discussed, along with interrelation of present coursework, later work and engineering practice. The student will be responsible to his tutor for undertaking of certain assignments in the other courses. 1 hour per week, both terms. (Consultation periods with teaching assistants regarding specific course problems as and if required at the initiative of the student or his tutor, will be available).
