S. Bialas, Z. Humienny, K. Kiszka

Abstract

The curricula at Faculty of Automobiles and Heavy Machinery Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology went a significant evolution since 1990 as a result of the emergence of new technologies and engineering methods as well as in response to labour market and state educational policy. General view on the latest curricula is given with the indication in which courses elements of metrology are also thought. Next special attention is paid to the metrology course (15 h lecture + 15 h tutorials + 30 h laboratory). The course gives fundamental information on classical metrology topics such as uncertainty evaluation, error source analysis, etc. and then focuses on metrology of geometrical quantities. Students in the laboratory acquire indispensable know-how of typical measuring jobs, process their results as well as validate them and the whole measurement process. The organisation of the laboratory and the basic problems of its computerisation are discussed. Paper gives some hints how to teach efficiently metrology at machinery engineering faculty. Finally the work towards implementation of quality assurance system based on ISO 9000 standard in all stages of teaching metrology are mentioned.
