Metrology and instrumentation: bases to an integrated approach

摘要

Electronic Instrumentation and Metrology are topics that frequently take part of the engineering curriculum. Despite the common background, seldom they are taught under the same point of view and employing a common and non-contrasting pedagogical approach. In this paper it is proposed a coherent framework which can be used to elaborate undergraduate as well as postgraduate course units, integrating both subjects. Subverting the traditional logic, each course unit is composed by a group of learning outcomes - the competences that the student has to demonstrate to be approved. The traditional course syllabus appears as part of the teaching/learning strategy.
