Abstract
Crucial to a "real world" company's ess is the Test Engineering group, whose role is to help ensure that pany's products are functional, safe, reliable, and cost-effective. They help prevent huge costs of failures in the field, in terms of re-work, warranty issues, lawsuits, and pany failure in the marketplace. The test engineering course at Southern Polytechnic prepares students for ess in entry-level positions in this area and, if their interest is R&D, how to design reliable and testable products. Topics in the course which provide students with "real world" knowledge include:
Developing data acquisition systems using Visual Basic and LabVIEW languages, both very popular in industry.
Developing systems using three of the mon industrial interfaces: IEEE 488, RS-232, and .
Developing an automated CAT system with stringent performance criteria.
Introducing QA concepts such as TQM and ISO-9000.
Relating good product design to incorporating DfT and BIST.
Understanding how devices fail: ESD, EMI, Thermal, Mechanical, and other environmental situations and how to prevent these failures in design and manufacturing.
Developing "real world" documentation, not just the usual introduction and documented
