Introduction to the methods and techniques of measurement of some typical parameters from the aspect of environmental pollution, to the ways of processing, presentation and analysis of those results by application of statistical methods and introduction to the theory of engineering experiment.

Enabling student to apply different measurement methods and techniques and monitoring of some parameters of the living environment.

Experiment planning. One-factor and multi-factor orthogonal plans. Searching the optimum by doing experiments. Fundamentals of metrology. Measurement methods. Characteristics of measurement instruments. Measurement errors. Measurement of some characteristic parameters of environmental pollution. Manipulation, transfer and recording of the measured values. Systems for acquisition and processing of the measured values. Fundamentals of statistic control. Control cards. Assessment of the environmental state by application of statistical tests.

The course is interactive in the form of lectures, auditory, laboratory and computer practice. During the lectures theoretical part of the course is presented followed by typical examples for better understanding of the knowledge. During auditory practice typical problems are solved and knowledge from the lectures is deepened. During laboratory practice acquired knowledge is applied in practice and using the available laboratory equipment. During computer practice information communication technologies are used in mastering the knowledge of the observed field. Besides lectures and practice, consultations are held on a regular basis.
