Test and Validation including System Set-up and Understanding
2025/2026
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.
