The measurement instrumentation

Abstract. At the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Miskolc in average 200 students per semester have 2 hours per week practice at the Laboratory of Measurement Technologies. Motivation of the students is decreasing from year to year, as well their basic knowledge in electronics is very low. Teaching should be started at very basics and finished with the most sophisticated measurement technologies, therefore besides of "What to teach?", the question of "How to teach?" is became one of the most important questions of today's education. We aim to work out practical experiments close to student's everyday life in order to increase students' motivation. In the paper teaching method development in the field of instrumentation is described. Traditional sensor problems defined by new approach are introduced, student solutions are shown. Course of "Test and Diagnostic" running in final year of study for electrical engineering students includes project based practices, which are also described in the paper.

This paper presents the recent development of microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) and devices realized by planar micromachining of metal foils. New types of cardiac stents including sensor-integrated antenna stents, a micromachined Kelvin probe with an integrated actuator, an intraluminal flow sensor cuff, and a mechanically/chemically robust capacitive pressure sensor are reported. Micro-electro-discharge machining (µEDM) and the modified processes were used for the fabrication of the devices with mechanical or electromechanical functionality. The cost-effective manufacturing is potentially available with the use of the batch mode µEDM technology that employs lithographically fabricated microelectrode arrays.
