Content, progress and pedagogy of the
module
The module is based on knowledge achieved in the modules
Introduction to Electrical Engineering and Modelling and simulation
or similar.
Learning objectives
Knowledge
- Have knowledge about how different physical systems are built
up and interact, this includes for instance understanding of:
- System division in different layers
- How to take different time-constants in a system into
account
- How inner control loops affects outer control loops and vise
versa
- Have knowledge about what to measure and with which precision,
this includes knowledge about
- Different measurement techniques to be applied
- Planning and documentation
- Accuracy
- analogue versus digital measurements and the combination
hereof
- What affects the accuracy and the resolution of measured
signals
- Have knowledge about how to detect signals in noise
- Mean values and standard deviation
- Noise and interference, coupling mechanisms
Skills
- Be able to split up a system in different subparts to have
better overview of the total system and to understand how the
subparts affects each other
- Physical layers contra data, business and control layers
- Sub-systems with different time constants
- Be able to calculate the accuracy of a given measurement
- Be able to document a validate a test set up
Competences
- Be able to use the acquired skills for test and validation and
understanding of system set ups for different systems and
apparatus
- Be able to use the professional approach for test and
validation and understanding of system set ups in academic and
interdisciplinary collaboration
- Be able to identify their own learning needs and to structure
own learning within test and validation
- Be able to understand the difference between test, train, and
validation systems
Type of instruction
Lectures, laboratory work and practical exercises.
