Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give the calibration terms and the information that is under the consideration of basic conditions for calibration. Calibration, verification, standads, national standards and quality system, measurement uncertainty, process of uncertainty calculation based on the errors, potential uncertainty source, mathematical modelling, uncertainty components, distribution functions, the technique of using of uncertainty and nevertheless nano-metric calibration system for the instrument and the equipment including nano-technology will come up.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To have information about calibration and calibration systems
2   To get the knowledge about metrology, accreditation and standardization
3   To have information about metrology, accreditation and standardization in nanotechnology
4   To be informed of measuring uncertainty and mathematical definitions
5   To acquire the information about general conditions for efficiency of laboratories for test and, compatibility evaluation

Planned Learning Activities and Teaching Methods

The course is taught in a lecture, class presentation and discussion format. All class members are expected to attend and both the lecture and take part in the discussion sessions. Besides the taught lecture, group presentations are to be prepared by the groups assigned for that week and presented to open a discussion session.
