Learning Outcomes and Competencies Technical skills:
The students:
  • know the most important basic terms and concepts of analytical chemistry and sensor technology.
  • can explain how an electrical and/or digital measurement signal is generated from a physical and/or chemical quantity.
  • can identify important sources of measurement deviations and estimate the resulting measurement uncertainty of a measured value.
  • can explain the measurement principles of selected sensors in the field of analytical chemistry and industrial process measurement technology.
  • understand modern smart sensor technologies and can apply this knowledge to future technologies.
Transferrable skills:
The students:
  • are able to apply and extend the fundamentals from the natural sciences to solve problems.
  • can independently select teaching materials, identify relevant learning content and acquire it independently.
Module Content
  • General principles of analytical chemistry and measurement technology (e.g. calibration, important terms and parameters such as limits of detection and quantification, recovery, precision and accuracy).
  • Basics of measurement and sensor technology (e.g. structure of a measurement chain, analog-digital conversion, estimation of measurement uncertainties)
  • Fundamentals of selected sensors from analytical chemistry and industrial process measurement technology (including measurement principles, typical representatives and selection for industrial application)
  • Modern concepts of intelligent sensors
Follow-up Modules None
Methods of Instruction  Combination of "blended learning" and face-to-face teaching, i.e. independent study of theoretical content with learning videos and scripts; solving of practice and application tasks in active plenary sessions.
Digital Resources
  • Learning videos and teaching texts
  • Practice and application tasks in active plenary sessions
