INTEGRATED SOLID STATE SENSORS IN ENGINEERS EDUCATION – EXPERIENCES AND PLANS FOR FUTURE

The measurements of non-electric quantities with electric methods have a long-standing tradition at the Silesian University of Technology. In this paper we would like to present the main idea and topics of the lectures and briefly describe the laboratory exercises. We also discuss the plans for the future.

THE MASTER'S THESES ON THE ESTIMATION OF METROLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF MEASURING INSTRUMENTS ON THE BASE OF THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS AND THE MATHEMATICAL MODELLING

The students of the Department of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science are preparing their master's theses in Measurement Systems Group of Institute of Automatic Control. They include the experimental investigations in Institute laboratory of various measuring instruments and also the mathematical modelling of primary devices of flowmeters and other instruments. Some results of master's theses were published in Polish scientific newspapers and in international conference proceedings. The measurement system for identification dynamic model of thermometers by "in-situ" method was elaborated. The measurement system enables identification of dynamic models of resistance thermometers by three methods: classical step-input method and two in-situ (internal input) methods. The mathematical modelling of distorted velocity distributions enables the investigation of errors of sampling flowmeters. On the base of the experimental data from rivers the modelling investigations for sampling flowmeter used for open channel were made.

LEARNING METHOD OF MEASUREMENT ENGINEERING THROUGH USER NAVIGATION INTERFACE OF VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT

This paper describes the extensional function of user navigation interface of virtual measuring instruments which supports user’s self-learning in experiment. The extensional function is presented by representation of knowledge database through internet browser. It is very effective for user to learn and investigation the knowledge of measurement engineering with training of operation of real or virtual measuring instruments in experience. The knowledge exploration by hyperlink through HTTP presents new heuristic learning method for user comparing with systematical learning method by lecture.

NEW POSSIBILITIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS OF ELECTRICAL MEASUREMENTS

In the paper are presented the possibilities of preparations modern, educational tools which in the form of virtual instruments are very helpful for educational process in electrical measurements. These dynamic instruments enable to perform during the lectures demonstrations which explain better lectured theory of electrical measurements, especially when some kinds of phenomena are presented in slow down time scale. Another group of virtual instruments enable to simulate measuring sessions which are realized later in the university laboratory. The third group of virtual instruments explain the idea of remote measurements with help of modern technologies. These measurements are realized on different industrial objects. The paper presents several solutions of educational virtual instruments designed by the team of Technical University of Gdansk. They were realized using the software LabVIEW of National Instruments.

SENSORS – WHAT AND HOW SHOULD WE TEACH?

There is no question 'if' or 'why' we should teach sensors. The contemporary world cannot operate without them. A basic understanding, principles of choice and principles of application of sensors in instrumentation systems are of fundamental importance in all disciplines of engineering. Fascinated by information processing people often forget that the function and also properties of every instrumentation system are defined by both the sensor and the software support provided. This paper presents some basic information on sensors and sensing, and the main problems faced when teaching them. It is intended to be a platform for discussion.

EDUCATION OF METROLOGY IN ELECTRONIC AND TELECOMMUNICATION STUDIES AT TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF BIAŁYSTOK

In this paper the general description of the schedule of studies on Electronic and Telecommunication at Technical University of Bialystok from the point of view of delivering metrology knowledge is presented. Also three typical subjects of metrology like the base of metrology, surveying of electronic and technique of experiment are underlined. The attempt of qualification the profile of graduate is one of the final conclusion of this work.

NEW INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN MEASURING SYSTEMS DESIGNING

The paper presents an influence of new information technologies upon measuring systems designing and proposes a new course that covers new trends in measuring systems designing. Distributed structure of modern measuring systems requires the use of special software technologies for design software of such systems. Possibilities of applying some modern information technologies for these purposes are considered. In the second part of the paper a program of a new course, concerned measuring system software designing, is presented. An example of student project, designed in the frame of the course, is presented.

COMPUTER SUPPORTED LABORATORY REPORTS OF EXPERIMENTAL WORK

Reports on experimental work should be based on a well-documented laboratory report. With the laboratory report we mean the logbook, kept during the experiments. Making such a laboratory report is an important part of the practical courses at our Electrical Engineering faculty in Twente. Nowadays our students write their report on paper. We consider the option to write it directly on the computer so that it can be integrated with managing the measurement results. Doing this however will pose severe requirements to the user friendliness of the software environment. In this paper the idea of an integrated computer environment for doing experimental work is discussed, together with some problems.

CALCULATION OF EXPANDED UNCERTAINTY

The main purpose of the paper is to present a method of calculation of the expanded uncertainty at required confidence level. It is elaborated as a piece of software with the main intention for metrology and quality engineering courses. The definition based algorithm is used and convolutions of different probability density distribution are precisely calculated. The uniform, triangular, normal and t-Student distributions are implemented in the software. One of the advantage is no limitation of encountered measurands.

TEXPRO – THE EDUCATIONAL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE MODELING OF TEXTILES PROPERTIES

The new worked-out computer program, named TEXPRO, for modeling of textiles properties is presented. The program is written in C++ language and built in form of handbook divided into particular exercises. It is designed for students doing the laboratories from subject "Structure of Yarns and Textile Fabrics".
