Thoughts on the education in measurement and instrumentation: A review of requirements

摘要

The paper examines the requirements for new information technology tools for education and training in measurement and instrumentation, given the advances in capability of information technology. A review is presented of the capabilities and limitations of educational tools. It is argued that the requirements are affected by the widening global spread of the application of measurement and instrumentation technology, the increasing importance of the metrological perspective of the discipline, the need for education and training at all levels (not only at the advanced scientific level), and the importance of resource limitation.
