Third training course in the LearningMeasure.com series on the SI units. This course is about the kilogram, the unit of mass. This course covers some of the ASQ CCT exam body of knowledge.

The fourth in the LearningMeasure.com series on the SI Units. This course covers the ampere, the unit of electric current. This course covers some of the ASQ CCT exam body of knowledge.

The fifth in the LearningMeasure.com series of courses on the SI Units. This course covers the kelvin, the unit of thermodynamic temperature. This course covers some of the ASQ CCT exam body of knowledge.

The sixth in the LearningMeasure.com series on the SI units. This course covers the mole, the unit of amount of substance.

The seventh course in the LearningMeasure.com series on the SI units. This course covers the candela, the unit of luminous intensity.

This course introduces many of the fundamental natural physical constants that can be used in metrology to establish traceability.

The emphasis in this course is on the characteristics of measurement systems, measurement data, and characteristics of measurement systems. The basic concepts introduced here are meant to be a foundation to build upon for further courses in this series of measurement courses, primarily those involved with measurement systems.

In this course, the basics of IM&TE specifications are covered. In particular what is a specifications, what makes up a specification, the different types of specifications, and how specifications are used in calibration and test.

This course covers some of the basic concepts associated with the presentation of measurement data. It includes the presentation of single values, multiple values in tables, and the graphical presentation of measurement data.

This course introduces some of the instrumentation and techniques involved with DC Measurements. This course assumes the student has completed the courses MEAS101 and EE101, and has basic algebra skills.

This course is a short introduction to the concept of temperature and temperature scales, and to temperature instrumentation. This course is intended to be a prerequisite for all other temperature measurement courses in the course catalog.

This course is a high-level overview of humidity measurement.

This is an introductory course on the measurement of angle. The concept of angle is defined as well as various angular measures. Instrumentation that is used to measure angle is discussed.

An introductory course in AC measurement.

An introductory course in radiometry.

A second in a series of three courses on radiometry, photometry, and photonics. This course introduces photometry.

This is the third in a series of courses on the measurement of electromagnetic radiation. This course concerns itself with the measurement of photons.

This is an introductory course on ionizing radiation. In particular it discusses the types of ionizing radiation, the measurement units, and some of the instrumentation that is used to measure and characterize ionizing radiation. It is basically a broad overview. It assumes some knowledge of calculus, namely the derivative, but that is not crucial for most of the material in the course.

An introductory course on the definition and measurement of torque. Includes summary of basic instrumentation and uncertainties associated with torque measurements.

This is an introductory course in hardness measurement, with some more detail provided for Rockwell hardness measurement.

This is an introductory course on pressure measurement.

This course provides a basic introduction to time and frequency measurements. In particular introducing the use of frequency standards, counters, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.. in the measurement of frequency.

A basic course in RF and microwave power measurement including the effects of mismatches and losses. A measurement equation for the calibration of a power measurement device is derived for the alternate connection to a stable source method.

A basic course on RF and microwave noise measurement. This course includes details such as the effects of losses and mismatches on the noise measurement process.

This is an introductory course that covers the terminology associated with antennas and antenna measurement.

An introductory course on how one might measure linearity from DC to daylight. It introduces the basic concepts, but spends a little more detail with RF and microwave linearity measurements.

A basic course on far-field antenna measurement techniques. Included are outdoor range, and anechoic chamber measurements of antenna parameters.

A basic course in anechoic chamber, near-field, and outdoor ranges. The basic variations of these types of ranges are discussed.

This is a short course on the gain extrapolation method of determining antenna gain.

This is a basic overview of the foundation and practice of planar near-field antenna measurements. It is meant to be the foundation for future courses on the topic.

This course covers some of the general requirements for MIL-STD-461 EMI/EMC measurements, and specific requirements of the associated conducted emission (CE) measurements.

A course concerning MIL-STD-461 Conducted Susceptibility (CS) testing. This is the third in a four part series of courses.

A course in MIL-STD-461E radiated susceptibility (RS) measurements. This is the final course in a series of four courses on MIL-STD-461 measurements.
