- Abstract:
- Future engineers working in the field of metrology and quality assurance will require more profound software knowledge than today. In addition to that it is often claimed that measurement science is not that close as it should be to daily practice. The following article describes a new approach in education developed and applied at the Technische Universität Ilmenau. Based on a SQL database server and a Microsoft Office client students are enabled to develop customised software solutions to problems of practical relevance without having any specific knowledge in advance. Furthermore the paper details which difficulties occurred most often. It is also discussed to what extent the developed software solutions are likely to be deployed in industry as a cost efficient alternative.
