This course is an introduction to measurement science. It describes the theoretical foundations and practical examples of measurement systems. The course covers the analysis of measurement problems and the specification of measurement systems. Various common sources of measurement errors and the concept of uncertainty in measurement results are introduced. Several important instruments for electrical measurements are discussed. Moreover a number of commonly-used sensors for the measurement of non-electronic quantities are introduced, as well as electronic circuits for the readout of these sensors.
