Course Overview

The Introduction to Uncertainty Analysis and Experimentation certification course will begin with fundamental subjects on the study of complexity and its applications and offer an outline of exploration. This course would learn from professional engineers, scholars, and engineering students at UG, PG, and Ph.D., from many disciplines. The course is divided into different segments as per the week's scheduled curriculum that will intellectually focus on every particular module and sub-chapter in a more comprehensive manner. 

The Introduction to Uncertainty Analysis and Experimentation training will be given more importance to promote analytical learning in the course. The subjects include the method of experimentation, measurement errors, measurement and outcome uncertainty, the transmission of uncertainty, pre-and post-test uncertainty analysis, set-up configuration uncertainty analysis, and regression and correlation. The approach would adopt the "performance test code" of ASME and the ISO "Guide to the expression of measurement uncertainty." The Introduction to Uncertainty Analysis and Experimentation certification will provide a brief structure of the field and each core segment that is essentially included in the particular major. A selection of practical applications and the use of national and international principles relating to engineering and research and their importance to education will be addressed in the programme.
