Measurement surrounds us in a huge variety of contexts. In this course, we provide some background information on measurement and metrology (the science of measurement and its application). We then explore some of these contexts.

‘Measurement Explained’ was designed for people who are new to metrology, those who have an interest in introductory measurement principles, and learners who need an introduction to our e-learning platform. The course provides an understanding of some key concepts in measurement and prepares learners for future courses in more complex areas.

This course consists of the following modules:

1. Measurement and Metrology
2. Measurement Uncertainty
3. Instrumentation and Sensors
4. Dimensional Measurement
5. Electrical Measurement
6. Time and Frequency Metrology
7. Mass Metrology (coming soon!)
