Laboratory Exercises 1

The primary aim of this subject is to enhance the professional skillset of the students and to provide some technical experience. Accordingly, the students are to solve complex measurement tasks within the framework of the laboratory classes in the following steps: Assessment of the theoretical knowledge required to carry out and understand the measurement tasks,Planning of the measurement process with respect to the object that is to be measured,Verification of the measurement process via computer simulations or via other methods,Selection the required measurement instruments,Execution of the measurement.Each measurement occasion is finished by the proper documentation of the results and the experience gained, in the form of a written measurement report.

Laboratory practice

Laboratory guides are; available on the homepage of the laboratory.

Requirements: (1) All of the measurements should be accomplished with success. In order to accomplish a measurement: Students should prepare to the measurement according to the laboratory guides that are found on the homepage. The instructor will check at the beginning of each measurement (in the form of a short oral or written test) whether the students have prepared for the measurement correctly. If somebody fails this test, he/she should repeat the whole measurement (both theoretical and practical part). Students should take part on each laboratory and arrive on time.The measurement tasks should be performed and documented. Measurement 1-3. are introductory measurements, so students don't get any marks for these measurements. However, if somebody misses any of the measurements, or it turns out during the measurement that somebody haven't prepared for the measurement correctly, the measurement should be repeated. Measurement 4-11 are thematic measurements. Every student will get his/her own mark for each measurement. The mark is formed by considering the following aspects:result of the test at the beginning of the measurement;the quality of the work of the student during the measurement;the quality of the measurement report;Cross-check questions: at the end of the measurements, the instructors ask questions to the students in order to verify whether the students could understand the specific measurement in the required depth. (2) At the end of the semester a practical test should be accomplished: Practical final test (PT): The students must solve one part of a randomly selected measurement. The length of the test measurement is 45 minutes. The students should be able to solve any of the measurements which were performed during the semester. Students can prepare for the practical test according to the measurement reports and laboratory guides. In the practical test only the instruments and measurement boards can be used. It is not allowed to use any books, mobile phone, lecture notes or hand-written/printed/electronic materials. The students must solve the measurement alone. No skeleton file will be available during the measurement. The final mark is calculated as follows: mark = 0.6*M + 0.2*CC+ 0.2*PT where M is the mean of the marks of measurements 4-11., CC is the mean of the results for the Cross-check questions and PT is the result of the practical test. The final mark is one (i.e. the subject is not accepted) if the mark of any of the measurement 1-11. is one or any of the measurement is not accomplished or repeated with success, or PT is one. Additional possibilities: During the semester, two measurements can be repeated irrespectively of the reason why these measurements were not accomplished. One measurement can be repeated only once. If somebody fails the repetition, he/she fails the whole subject.  Measurements 1-3 will be repeated at the beginning of the semester, since they are useful during the other measurements. In case of long illness or any other acceptable reason, the course coordinator decides about the possibilities and details of additional occasions for repeating a measurement. The practical final test can be repeated only once irrespectively of the reason of the failure.
