Learning objectives
The course aims to provide students with the necessary knowledge for the selection and performance evaluation of the different types of sensors, and the fundamental notions related to measurement systems and methods. The essential knowledge related to the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty and to the description and characterization of the components of measurement and data acquisition systems will be developed: sensors and transducers, signal conditioning, data conversion and representation, with a particular reference to the biomedical field. Modern virtual instrumentation techniques for the analysis of signals acquired by advanced acquisition systems will also be discussed. On completion of the course, students will possess adequate and autonomous skills with respect to the analysis and characterization of a measurement system for biomedical applications.
Prerequisites and basic notions
In order to attend this course, students must possess the fundamental knowledge of physics, mathematics and analogue electronics acquired in previous courses. These skills are indispensable for understanding the concepts and applications of the subject matter covered in the course.
Program
The course is divided into 3 main parts:
OVERVIEW OF ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS
Operational amplifiers: ideal operating principle (and hints at non-idealities). Basic configurations: inverting/non-inverting, summing, follower, differential, etc. Use of op-amps in the realisation of filters: low-pass, high-pass and first-order band-pass. Signal conditioning.
FUNDAMENTALS OF ELECTRONIC MEASUREMENTS
Definitions of Metrology and the International System. Fundamentals of measurement theory: reminder of statistics. Statistical analysis of repeated test results. Evaluation and propagation of the uncertainty of a measurement. Examples of measurement uncertainty assessment applied to measurements of voltmeters, aperometers and resistors.
SENSORS
The sensor model and its static and dynamic characteristics. Scheme of an acquisition system and signal conditioning. Thermal, pressure and strain sensors.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
The main teaching modality will be face-to-face lectures. Lectures throughout the academic year will be conducted in person.
Students are strongly advised to attend lectures, which involve the explanation of theory and the performance of exercises.
The exercises carried out during the lectures are designed to provide students with the opportunity to consolidate their theoretical knowledge and develop their practical problem-solving skills.
In order to study and prepare for the exam, students are encouraged to use the course materials provided by the lecturers and to solve the exercises proposed by them, and to supplement the explanations provided with the study of the recommended textbooks.
Learning assessment procedures
The examination consists of a written test that will be conducted in person.
The test lasts two (2) hours and consists of:
(i) two exercises that focus mainly on the ability to solve practical problems. These require numerical steps.
(ii) four closed questions. These questions present five answer options each, only one of which is correct, with the aim of testing the level of theoretical knowledge
Evaluation criteria
The examination is aimed at assessing theoretical knowledge, problem-solving skills and critical reasoning skills on the study performed and acquired during the course.
Each of the two numerical exercises will be assessed with a mark of up to 12 points.
Each theoretical question will be awarded a mark of 2 points (answer not given 0 points, wrong answer -0.5).
No textbooks or notes may be consulted during the written test and a scientific calculator is required.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final assessment consists of the sum of the marks obtained in the numerical exercises with the marks obtained in the questions aimed at testing theoretical knowledge.

Type D and Type F activities
Le attività formative di tipologia D sono a scelta dello studente, quelle di tipologia F sono ulteriori conoscenze utili all’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro (tirocini, competenze trasversali, project works, ecc.). In base al Regolamento Didattico del Corso, alcune attività possono essere scelte e inserite autonomamente a libretto, altre devono essere approvate da apposita commissione per verificarne la coerenza con il piano di studio. Le attività formative di tipologia D o F possono essere ricoperte dalle seguenti attività.
1. Insegnamenti impartiti presso l'Università di Verona
Comprendono gli insegnamenti sotto riportati e/o nel Catalogo degli insegnamenti (che può essere filtrato anche per lingua di erogazione tramite la Ricerca avanzata).
Modalità di inserimento a libretto: se l'insegnamento è compreso tra quelli sottoelencati, lo studente può inserirlo autonomamente durante il periodo in cui il piano di studi è aperto; in caso contrario, lo studente deve fare richiesta alla Segreteria, inviando a carriere.scienze@ateneo.univr.it il modulo nel periodo indicato.

Attendance modes and venues
The inter-university nature of the course of study lies in the cooperation of the three universities in the provision of faculty. Therefore, teaching delivery takes place at the administrative and teaching site in Verona and not in the partner universities. This means that it is not possible to attend this bachelor's degree program in the University of Trento or Modena-Reggio Emilia; however, it is possible to use the study spaces of the partner universities, thanks to the agreement between them.
As stated in the Didactic Regulations, course attendance is not mandatory.
Part-time enrolment is permitted. Find out more on the Part-time enrolment possibilities page.
The course's teaching activities take place in the Science and Engineering area, which consists of the buildings of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2, Ca' Vignal 3 and Piramide, located in the Borgo Roma campus.
Lectures are held in the classrooms of Ca‘ Vignal 1, Ca’ Vignal 2 and Ca' Vignal 3, while practical exercises take place in the teaching laboratories dedicated to the various activities.

Graduation
The final exam carries 6CFU.
The final exam is taken at the presence of two faculty members, including the Supervisor, and consists of one or both of the following options:
-
A brief written report, which may also be in English, describing the thesis work;
-
An oral presentation, supported by slides (such as PowerPoint), that illustrates the thesis work, which may also be in English.
Following the exam, the graduation takes place on the dates set in the Academic Calendar.
The final degree score is determined by a Graduation Committee composed of at least three faculty members, including the supervisor. The supervisor can be any tenured professor from the University of Verona, the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, or the University of Trento. Committee members must belong to a scientific-disciplinary sector (SSD) within the degree programme plan.
The Graduation Committee assigns a final grade on a scale of 110, with the possibility of honors. The minimum score required to pass the final exam is 66/110. The admission grade is determined by converting the weighted average of the course grades (based on CFUs) to a 110-point scale and rounding to the nearest whole number. There may be an increase of up to Studying at the University of Verona – Graduation

There may be an increase of up to 8/110 points on the admission grade, with the final exam being worth up to 4 of points, and 4 points for the evaluation of the student's academic curriculum.
The evaluation of the academic curriculum is based on the following criteria (which positively account for honors and Erasmus periods and negatively for any delays in the course of study):
-
If on time: 3.5 + 0.2 * number of honors;
-
If delayed: 3.5 - 0.5 * number of extra years + 0.1 * number of honors;
-
1 point for every 3 months of completed Erasmus study.
Additionally, 2 extra points will be awarded for completing at least 12 CFU at foreign universities.
In any case, the total increase from the evaluation of the thesis and the academic record cannot exceed 8 points.
The award of final honors, in the case of a score of at least 110, is at the discretion of the Graduation Committee and is only granted if the committee's decision is unanimous.
