Basic knowledge of physics, mathematics, statistics, mechanics, electrical engineering and automation is assumed, at the level of completed subjects within the previous secondary school study, or previously completed university study subjects.

The laboratory sessions are concluded with a course-unit credit, awarded in the 13th week of teaching. To obtain it, students must earn at least 15 points from the lab reports prepared during the semester. The points earned for the reports (maximum 30) count towards the final course grade. Attendance at the laboratory sessions is compulsory. Students who miss a laboratory session must make it up in a manner determined by the instructor. Unexcused absence is grounds for not awarding the credit. Further details are communicated to and explained to students at the beginning of the semester. Obtaining the credit is a prerequisite for taking the examination.

The examination consists of a written part and an technical discussion of a selected topic. To pass the examination, students must earn at least 35 of the 70 available points. The final grade is based on the sum of the points earned in the laboratory sessions and in the examination. To pass the course, students must earn at least 50 points in total.

Students are introduced to engineering measurements and metrology. The course gives an overview of the fundamentals of engineering measurements, including basic concepts, quantities, units, laws and standards, the categories of metrology, the Metre Convention, and the national metrology system of the Czech Republic, with a more detailed treatment of measuring instruments. Attention is paid to measurement errors and, above all, to measurement uncertainty, including its evaluation and practical application. Particular emphasis is placed on the physical principles on which modern sensors operate (resistive, piezoelectric, capacitive, inductive, magnetic, and optical) and on their use for measuring individual engineering quantities and in the measuring instruments that students will encounter during their studies and in future engineering practice. The course also covers the acquisition and processing of measured data and the use of modern hardware and software, including virtual instrumentation, smart sensors, and the fundamentals of machine learning. The aim of the course is to teach students to apply the acquired knowledge of measurement and metrology to solving engineering problems in industrial practice.

Study supports and study materials for the course are listed in the course literature. This information is also published in e-learning. This is also discussed in detail in the introductory lecture of the course and in the first laboratory exercise (in the combined form of study in the first consultation or laboratory exercise of the course).
