Improvement of an Undergraduate Test Engineering Laboratory"

这个项目提高了电子工程技术系提供符合行业要求的课程工作的能力。生产环境中自动化测试设备的数量不断增加，需要对负责测试的人员进行适当的教育。这需要将基本原则与实验室加固相结合。重点领域是三个学期的课程序列，既有课堂经验，也有实验室经验。这一序列是独立学习高级项目的替代方案，在该项目中，学生开发自己的项目并实施设计。此选项针对行业推荐的领域，涉及使用GPIB和VIX自动测试设备的设备，这些设备具有教授测试工程原理和实践所需的所有功能。由首席调查员所在机构提供的等额奖金将与此相匹配。

This project improves the Electronics Engineering Technology Department's ability to provide course work consistent with industry demands placed upon program graduates. The ever increasing amount of automated test equipment in the production environment requires an appropriate education of those charged with the test responsibilities. This requires the integration of basic principles with laboratory reinforcement. The area of focus is a three term sequence of courses with both classroom and laboratory experience. This sequence is an alternative to an independent study senior project where the student the student develops his own project and implements the design. This option is directed at areas recommended by industry and involves equipment utilizing both GPIB and VIX automated test equipment having all the functions necessary to teach the principles and practice of Test Engineering. The award is being matched by an equal amount from the principal investigator's institution.
