What is this 'Microlearning Course' about?
This course aims to equip learners with the basic knowledge and skills to use the basic statistical tools for measurement uncertainty estimation and perform measurement uncertainty estimation for chemical analysis.
Who is this course designed for?
This course is designed for diploma graduates and PMEs who are considering to work in analytical testing laboratories of various industries such as the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, research institutes, R&D companies and other testing sectors.
What will you take away?
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
Outline the needs for estimating uncertainty in routine measurements
Identify sources of uncertainty in chemical analysis
Explain the concepts of GUM or bottom-up approach and apply it for estimating measurement uncertainty in a chemical analysis
Explain the concepts of top-down approach and apply it for estimating measurement uncertainty in a chemical analysis
Differentiate the bottom-up approach from the top-down approach and identify the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches
Measurement of Uncertainty Suite Courses
Learners who complete the two courses will be eligible to apply for admission to the part-time Specialist Diploma in Laboratory Management & Instrumentation program in Temasek Polytechnic.
Beyond their core business of conducting full-time courses for students, Temasek Polytechnic is also committed to the practical re-skilling and professional development of adult learners. They believe in helping individuals and organisations equip themselves with the necessary skills to meet the challenges of a dynamic economy.
