Educational aspects of uncertainty calculation with software tools

In order to enhance the widespread use of such tool support we suggest a teaching concept for uncertainty calculation in measurement science education that is directly based on the utilization of software tools. Although the developed material is currently based on the GUM (Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement) method we believe that it is also useful with other methods. Additionally, the concept goes beyond the scope of measurement uncertainty quantification demonstrating that it is also useful for system analysis and optimization.
