Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding

• - the student knows the history, definitions of basic terms and metrological tasks; - the student has knowledge of the classification and properties of instruments and measurement methods;

Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding

• - The student owns the basics of legal metrology. - the student can process the information received, perform its analysis and generalization.

Learning outcome: formation of judgments

• - the student can draw conclusions, formulate and justify the opinion.

Learning outcome: communicative abilities

• - the student can clearly state and defend the results of integrated engineering activities in the field of metrology.

Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities

• - the student understands the need and knows the possibilities of lifelong learning; - the student can independently apply the methods and means of cognition, training and self-control, realize the prospects of intellectual, cultural, moral, physical and professional self-development and self-improvement.

Teaching methods

When conducting training, the use of the following educational technologies is provided: - interactive lecture (application of the following active forms of training: guided (guided) discussion or conversation; moderation; slide show or training films; brainstorming; motivational speech); - building scenarios for the development of various situations based on given conditions; - information and communication (for example, classes in a computer class using professional application software packages); - search and research (independent research activities of students in the learning process); - solving educational problems.
