Educational aims:
The main objectives of the "Foundamental Measurements for Industrial Design" course is to give the student the knowledge of both the right metrological terms that have to be used and the working principle of the main measurement devices, investigating which is their design and the pros and cons of each sensor.

Expected learning outcomes:
Knowledge and understanding: understanding of the definitions of static and dynamic metrological characteristics; knowledge of the definitions of measurement units; understanding of the working principle of mechanical, thermal and electric instruments.

Applying knowledge and understanding: understanding of the right scientific and methodological approach to the measurements; learning to independently perform a calibration procedure; learning to design a measurement system for industrial applications.

Making judgements: the student will be able to know how to choose the best instruments that has to be used as a function of the required measurements.

Communication skills: the student will be able to report on the performed experiments and to read and write both calibration reports and datasheets.

Learning skills: the ability to use the learned methodological accuracy in different measurement fields than those studied in the present course.
