Condition
The goal		Students are introduced to the sensors for measurement of non-electrical quantities (force, displacement, acceleration, level, pressure, volume, temperature,...). The constructions of various transducers are described with their physical principles of sensing. Selection of sensor for specific application is explained. Calibration procedures for different measurement systems are presented.
The outcome		Students are enabling to explain working principle of various measurement instruments, indicate to their limitations, and to choose sensor for specific application. They are capable to calibrate sensor and to select appropriate interface for connecting sensor with PC.
