Measurements? • To be undestood in the brodest senice: • Toxic metals in drinking water • Choloseterol level in blood • Strength on construction materials • Octane number of gasoline • ...
Importance of Measurements? • Importance of measurements is enormous: • Critical decisions (economical, social, medical) are based on results of measurements • 40% of the EU directives involve measurements http://www.ut.ee/ams
Key to success: Education • There is a huge need for educated workers and managers in laboratories! • This is why the AMS programme was launched
Learning outcomes • The broader aim of the curriculum is to qualify specialists for working on the areas where competence in measurements, metrology and quality systems is required. http://www.ut.ee/ams
From which countries the students come? • 38% Estonia • 62% foreign(Ukraine, China, Great Britain, Romania, Turkey, Latvia, Uzbekistan, Uganda, Jordan, Kasakhstan, Chroatia, Albania, Lithuania) http://www.ut.ee/ams
2012: China, Latvia, Nepal, Albania, Estonia, Ghana
