Educational objectives	Understanding the mode of operation and specifications of instrumentation for measurement and control of mechanical and thermal systems. evaluate the measurement uncertainty and its main causes in applications.
Prerequisites	In order to understand and be able to apply most of the techniques described in the course, it is necessary to have successfully passed the exams in Physics, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Measurements. Knowledge of these subjects is an essential prerequisite for students who wish to follow the course successfully.
Teaching methods	The course is organized as follows: lectures on ali subjects of the course; Laboratory exercises
Other information	Although attendance is formally optional, it is strongly recommended. Students are freely invited to register using the form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1V2yv8-OzO3D2C_Ta3wf8-2y7VZkLdwJ0_xAq208ic5Q/ to provide their contact information for possible quick communication regarding lectures or exams, as well as for registration on the UNISUDIUM platform to access the course's teaching materials. https://www.unistudium.unipg.it/unistudium/
Learning verification modality	The exam consists of an oral test. Oral test consists on an interview of about 45 minutes long aiming to ascertain the knowledge level and the understanding capability acquired by the student on theoretical and methodological contents as indicated on the program. The oral exam will also test the student communication skill and his autonomy in the organization and exposure of the theoretical topics.
Extended program	Laboratory sessions Pratical static and dynamic calibration of transucers for displacement, strain, accelerometers, pressure, microphone, load cells, flow rate, anemometer, termocouple, etc Use of oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, digital data acquisition and processing system based on personal computers.
