XVIII IMEKO World Congress presents the paper METROLOGY EDUCATION FOR THE YOUTH. The work addresses among one forms playful to present the metrology fundamentals and the main scientists who contributed with their discoveries, research and measurements, throughout the evolution of the human being and the technology.
This project investigates the performance of two assemblings of hydrostatic weighing system. Low uncertainty of 0.004% to measure solid volume and 0.007% to measure liquid density was achieved with relatively simple measurements. An error analysis was made and the method could be used in calibration laboratories as well as for education on calibration procedures.
The fast dissemination of coordinate metrology in Brazil has not been followed by the necessary qualification of human resources. Because of its flexibility, complexity and great integration with the whole manufacturing system, Coordinate metrology demands an in depth qualification of the technical person. This paper describes an educational program developed by professionals from Universities and Industries in Brazil for the qualification of technical person involved with coordinate metrology. The program, called FORMA3D, has been active since 2004 with more than 100 3D Metrologists...
This paper is focused on education in the field Measurement and control of technological processes. In one part of this sphere students obtain theoretical knowledge in an application of commercial systems for measurement, visualisation and control of technological processes. The system is control and data are measured via a programmable controller (PLC) and as the superior systems the system InTouch, Wizcon and ContolWeb2000 were used. All systems were tested on the real equipment. The programmable controller controls the system and at the same time is a data source for master applications...
Some acquired experiences concerning the teaching of Chemical Metrology in Latin-America for almost fifteen years are presented. They include postgraduate and undergraduate activities developed in seven countries of this continent. The combination of theoretic and practical activities and the sequence of learning from metrological, statistical and chemometrical backgrounds up to practical activities in personal computers are basic and motivate the learning process. Care is taken in order to promote the metrological approach and thinking in Analytical Chemistry. The learning of computing...
According to the recognized elements of General and Applied Metrology, the curriculum of courses covering the field of Electrical Engineering and Computing are presented, for the study programs adapted to the Bologna declaration at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing in Zagreb, Croatia. The criteria for teaching the metrology are recognized, and the basic approach to the measurement is pointed out. Some aspects from our experience and point of view are presented for the exchange of knowledge and attitudes within the metrologists.
Considering importance of practical experience as a crucial step in effective transfer of knowledge to learner in electric measurements and other technical fields, paper caries out research results of effectiveness testing on remote laboratory developed at University of Sannio, Italy. Although remote laboratories are spreading among universities and educational institutions very fast because of their advantages in setup, price and accessibility actual effectiveness of this laboratories comparing to classical is still unknown. Two groups of students of the electric and electronic measurement...
Teaching of Measurement and Instrumentation for different levels of students at undergraduate courses, graduate courses and post-graduate courses and later during professional activities in today world needed to be tailed to individual needs, but should it be one chain of development, offered in such a way that everyone who feel a need to become acquainted with some particular subject could find his suitable track for him.
This project was meant to be a study supporting material different from the current available ones to graduating students and technicians in the metrology field. Its setup was based on personal experiences from its elaborators. When deciding the contents and formatting of this project, it was agreed that it should contain the subjects: metrology history and terminology, number treatments, measurements, calibration and uncertainty estimates. It should also point out notions of nanotechnology. We were careful not to turn this project into a simple transcription of study notes from textbooks to...
For the correct performing of measurement tasks, the operator needs a lot of knowledge in many fields. As so far there is no education for becoming a metrologist in Germany, in the project Mess-iN a comprehensive training for advanced vocational education in metrology was developed.The course consists of two phases: A learning phase focusing on the gathering of knowledge and a project phase focusing on the transfer of knowledge into daily practice. The course is accompanied by a tutor. The imparting of knowledge in the first phase is designed as Blended Learning. Web based learning modules...
