This document outlines a course on Metrology and Measurements that is 3 credits and consists of 45 class periods. The course objectives are to provide knowledge on metrological equipment for measuring components and the proper procedures for measurement. The course is divided into 5 units that cover the basics of metrology, linear and angular measurements, advances in metrology like lasers and CMM, form measurement techniques, and measurement of properties like force, flow, and temperature. The outcomes are for students to be able to describe measurement concepts, outline tools for industrial applications, explain computer aided inspection, demonstrate form measurement techniques, and discuss measuring mechanical properties. The course will use 2 specified textbooks and 5 references for instruction.
