Abstract

This article is an attempt to contribute to the discussion about teaching measuring systems beyond the year 2000 by answering three fundamental questions: (1) What should students at the dawn of the 21st century know about measuring systems? (2) Why should students know a systems approach to electrical measurement? (3) How should measuring systems be taught? The following gives the authors´ point of view on this subject, based on 25 years of teaching various aspects of measuring systems to students of widely varying technical and cultural backgrounds
