Digital, memory and mixed-signal test engineering education: five centres of competence in Europe

The launching of the EuNICE-Test project was announced two years ago at the first DELTA Conference. This project is now completed and the present paper describes the project actions and outcomes. The original idea was to build a long-lasting European Network for test engineering education using both test resource mutualisation and remote experiments. This objective is fully fulfilled and we have now, in Europe, five centres of competence able to deliver high-level and high-specialized training courses in the field of test engineering using a high-performing industrial ATE. All the centres propose training courses on digital testing, three of them propose mixed-signal trainings and three of them propose memory trainings. Taking into account the demand in test engineering, the network is planned to continue in a stand alone mode after project end. Nevertheless a new European proposal with several new partners and new test lessons is under construction

Estruturação de um sistema de simulação de instrumentos de medição

Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia MecânicaGarantir confiabilidade metrológica é uma necessidade nos sistemas da qualidade; avaliar incertezas de medições é imprescindível no processo de garantia da confiabilidade metrológica. A metodologia de avaliação de incertezas proposta pela ISO - International Organization for Standardization é a do "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement". Sua aplicação exige perfeita caracterização do processo metrológico e é bastante trabalhosa, mesmo que sejam poucos os instrumentos de medição envolvidos. Cada vez mais, os instrumentos são eletrônicos e modulares. Nas medições feitas com cadeias modulares, a caracterização dos processos requer conhecimentos simultâneos de metrologia e de instrumentação eletrônica. Nesses casos, a falta de pessoal especializado tem sido o maior fator limitante à obtenção da garantia da confiabilidade metrológica. A atividade experimental pode contribuir de forma muito significativa, tanto para se conhecer o comportamento metrológico de processos de medição quanto para formação de recursos humanos. Porém a experimentação, além de ter alto custo, esbarra na impossibilidade prática de variação controlada de muitos dos parâmetros envolvidos. Identifica-se aí um cenário apropriado para aplicação de simuladores. Neste trabalho está estruturado um sistema de simulação digital de instrumentos, congregando o estado-da-arte em metrologia, instrumentação, qualidade industrial e informática. O sistema consiste de ambientes, modelos e procedimentos de simulação direcionados à análise do comportamento metrológico de cadeias modulares de medição formadas por instrumentos elétricos. São propostas alternativas inéditas, empregadas no desenvolvimento em Labview de ambientes de simulação e de modelos de características metrológicas estáticas e dinâmicas
