Syllabus

Course Objectives

The course objectives are structured across three levels of competence as follows:

a) KNOWLEDGE (To Know) – To provide the fundamental concepts of industrial metrology and non-destructive testing, including in-depth modules on the topics outlined in the course content.

b) SKILLS (To Know How to Do) – On key topics such as the management of measuring equipment, the design of attribute gauges, and the methods for acceptance and inspection of measuring instruments, the objective is to provide not only theoretical knowledge but also a comprehensive methodology to perform these tasks professionally.

c) PROFESSIONAL ATTITUDE (To Know How to Be) – Students will be treated as professionals, with an emphasis on the ethical and behavioural standards expected of an engineer, which must be observed throughout all educational activities and in interactions with peers and instructors. Due to its nature, this objective will not be assessed during examinations (to avoid discriminating against non-attending students); however, students who attend regularly and demonstrate appropriate and proactive conduct will have this positively considered in the final evaluation.


Course Prerequisites

To follow the course effectively, a basic knowledge of technical drawing and a foundational understanding of scientific subjects—particularly mathematical analysis, geometry, physics, and chemistry—are considered necessary prerequisites


Teaching Methods

The course includes a theoretical component delivered through classroom lectures, with frequent use of educational or professional videos to illustrate practical applications and the development of the theoretical concepts covered. Additionally, a study day will be organized at a leading company in the field of measuring instrument production and at the metrology laboratories of an accredited center.


Assessment Methods

The examination will consist of a written test structured in two parts:

a) The first part is aimed at assessing the acquisition of first-level competences (knowledge) through open-ended theoretical questions.

b) The second part is aimed at assessing the acquisition of second-level competences (skills) through written exercises requiring the design and dimensioning of specific attribute gauges, the analysis and evaluation of inspection data, and the development of a control or measurement strategy.


Contents

Fundamental concepts of metrology – units of measurement and their evolution – the international metrological organization – measurement uncertainty – measuring equipment within the company quality system (metrological confirmation) – non-destructive testing: liquid penetrant testing, eddy current testing, magnetic particle inspection, radiography, thermography – holography as an investigative and monitoring method – dimensional and geometrical measurements – laboratory and benchtop instrumentation – instruments for variables and attributes – speed measurement – vibration measurement – force and deformation measurement – acceptance and inspection methods for measuring equipment (MSA).


Online Resources

More information

The lecturer’s handouts will be made available through a dedicated Microsoft Teams group, which will be accessible to students enrolled in the course. These materials are considered necessary and sufficient for exam preparation.
