Analytical Metrology Series 100
This series is comprised of individual courses describing analytical metrology and its measurement-centricity to chemistry and other STEM subjects. The courses included in this series provide an overview of the critical role that analytical metrology plays in research and chemical testing laboratories in the real world.
- AM 101 Careers in Analytical Metrology
This course brings chemistry, mathematics and engineering to life in the real world by providing a survey of career options in analytical metrology that most chemistry and other STEM students do not even know that exist for them.
- AM 102 Basic Concepts of Analytical Metrology
Students will be introduced to the fundamental principles and concepts of analytical metrology including calibration, traceability, error, precision, statistics and uncertainty as they apply to qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis. The discussion will also include the metrological role of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) including their Calibration Services, Standard Reference Materials and Standard Reference Data.
- AM 103 Mathematics for Analytical Metrology
Students will be introduced to the basic applications of algebra, geometry, calculus, differential equations, statistics and probability as they relate to scientific data analysis, interpretation and presentation. The application focus is on measurement uncertainty analysis for science in the real world.
