Upon the successful completion of this course, the participants will have an understanding of:

• Concepts involved in the calculation of measurement uncertainty.
• Calculating measurement uncertainty in a practical and pragmatic manner.
• Defining measurement processes.
• Identifying sources of measurement error.
