In today’s economics, metrology is necessary because it provides the necessary technical means to ensure correct measurements through the use of a harmonized measurement system, which includes the International System of Units (SI), accurate measurement tools that meet international standards (for example, OIML recommendations), and current methods and procedures. Measurement enters almost all commercial operations, from wholesale trade (such as oil, natural gas and metal ore) to retail sales of goods to consumers on the market. The tasks of ensuring correct measurements through the verification of measuring instruments and the supervision of their use in commerce fall under the jurisdiction of national legal metrology services. In addition to quantity, both product quality and its compliance with standards are essential criteria in international trade.
The need of metrology and metrology experts is enshrined in the laws of Ukraine, which regulate consumer rights protection, metrology and metrological activity, standardization, conformity assessment of products and services.
Graduates of the program “Metrology and Measurement Engineering”, have the following competencies:
– the ability to design and develop modern computerized information-measuring tools using special software and modern programming technologies;
