Course Objectives
The course addresses issues relating to quality and reliability in measurements and processes.
The Quality Measurements course aims to provide students with the foundations and knowledge necessary for the evaluation and optimization of quality in measures and processes. The basic concepts relating to the study, evaluation and interpretation of the reliability performance of measurement systems and the related reporting will also be addressed. The methodological tools will be provided to measure and verify the conformity of a system or product/service to specification requirements and to monitor its performance with a view to improving quality. At the end of the course the students will acquire suitable skills relating to the measurements for the quality and qualification of a generic measurement process or service/product. Students will also be able to interpret the certification process, both product and system, and to identify the most appropriate quality control methodologies in light of international regulations.
The aim is therefore to facilitate the student in acquiring an appropriate level of autonomy both in theoretical knowledge and in the use of basic measurement tools. The aim is to stimulate his ability to reflect and communicate the notions acquired through an adequate scientific language.

Assessment Methods
The exam consists of an oral test preceded by a practical laboratory test. Passing the practical test with a score of at least 18/30 allows access to the oral test.
Passing the practical test gives the right to take the oral exam only in the session in which the practical exam was passed.
The marks for each test will be expressed in thirtieths (/30). The final vote will be obtained from the arithmetic mean of the two votes increased by excess.
In the practical test, the technical skills achieved by the Student and the methodological rigor of the resolutions proposed in response to the questions asked will be evaluated. This test has a maximum duration of one hour, and the Student will be allowed access to a personal computer at the Measurement Laboratory to carry out the practical test only. The oral test consists of an interview on the topics of the course program and evaluates the student's ability to communicate the notions acquired through adequate scientific language, as well as the ability to explain the theoretical contents that form the basis of the practical test.
The final grade will be attributed according to the following evaluation criterion:
30 - 30 cum laude: complete, in-depth and critical knowledge of the topics, excellent language skills, complete and original interpretative ability, full ability to autonomously apply knowledge to solve the proposed practical activities;
26 - 29: complete and in-depth knowledge of the topics, full ownership of language, complete and effective interpretative ability, able to autonomously apply the knowledge to solve the proposed practical activities;
24 - 25: knowledge of the topics with a good level of learning, good language skills, correct and confident interpretative ability, ability to correctly apply most of the knowledge to solve the proposed practical activities;
21 - 23: adequate knowledge of the topics, but lack of mastery of them, satisfactory language skills, correct interpretative ability, limited ability to autonomously apply knowledge to solve the proposed practical activities;
18 - 20: basic knowledge of the main topics, basic knowledge of technical language, sufficient interpretative ability, ability to apply the basic knowledge acquired;
Insufficient: does not have acceptable knowledge of the topics covered during the course.
