Metrologia e Normalização

Objectives

This course covers two different topics that are strongly connect. Starting with metrology, it is intended that the students come into contact with the important knowledge that comes from this science and that plays a vital role in our world, studying the main measurement instruments and procedures, and acquiring skills in industrial measurement techniques. Then students learn how metrology and standardization are deeply involved in the way inspection and control activities are carried out and how standards are defined so that quality of the industrial products is properly measured and implemented.
