Gottlob Frege Centre for Engineering Science and Design (GFC) Global J. of Engng. Educ., Vol.8, No.1 © 2004 UICEE Published in Australia Gottlob Frege Centre for Engineering Science and Design (GFC) Norbert Grünwald Dieter Schott Hochschule Wismar - University of Technology, Business and Design Philipp-Müller-Str., D-23952 Wismar, Germany A broad knowledge in mathematics and other basic sciences is crucial for an individual’s life-long ability to conduct creative work, as well as for an innovative and competitive society. However, in contrast to this, many teachers, professors and industrial representatives deplore the lack of mathematics and science knowledge of those who are starting out in study and employment. These findings are fully supported by international scientific studies. As a reaction to this undesirable development, and in recognition of the merits of Gottlob Frege, a famous German mathematician, philosopher and logician, the Gottlob-Frege-Centre (GFC) was founded in November 2000 at Hochschule Wismar by a group of 12 professors responsible for education in the basic sciences at the University. Since its foundation, many activities have been launched regionally and worldwide. The highlight was the Memorandum of Agreement between the UICEE and Hochschule Wismar, which was signed in June 2001. Since then, Hochschule Wismar has become a Partner of the UICEE and the GFC was raised to the status of a satellite centre of UICEE, with the aim to develop the centre through international cooperation, and to contribute to the competences in the UICEE’s Global Family of Engineering Educators. GFC members bring into play an application- oriented basic science education for engineering students, which is much more up-to-date, attractive and international in its orientation.

  • Client-Server and Gateway Systems for Remote Control in Engineering Education*

Page School of Engineering, Liverpool John Moores University Byrom Street, Liverpool, L3 3AF, England, United Kingdom With the rapid development of the Internet over recent years, in conjunction with the transmission protocol TCP/IP and the latest version of hypertext (HTML) facilities, new opportunities have come into existence for the use of the network for the remote control of experiments and other practical systems in engineering education. There are two prime benefits: students learn how network systems work and also how remote control technologies operate and the universities save money when students from several institutions utilise the same expensive equipment. Using graphical software environments in client-server systems can be easily designed. Client-server systems have some general advantages when compared with simple Remote-Access Systems (RAS) or proprietary (single-solution) systems. In recent years, gateway systems for remote control have become available for most measurement and instrumentation bus systems and this effectively permits direct access via LAN/Internet with a minimum of the transfer data-rates needed for control. INTRODUCTION Internet for remote control. It is now possible to design http-based client-server solutions and gateway The remote control of installations and systems has systems for remote control problems with modest been a technical reality in research laboratories and expenditure with the aid of graphical software automated industries for many years, particularly in development packages, such as LabVIEW [1][2] or process control industries.

    Hochschulübergreifende Maßnahme der Technischen Universität Dresden und des Studentenwerk Dresden (in Zusammenarbeit mit der Hochschule Wismar): „Förderung des Auslandsstudiums mit Kind“ Kontaktliste mit familienfreundlichen Hochschulen im europäischen und weltweiten Ausland - eine Auswahl "Familie in der Hochschule" ist ein Programm des Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für die Neuen Bundesländer und der Robert Bosch Stiftung in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Centrum für Hochschulentwicklung CHE. Das Programm Familie in der Hochschule hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, deutsche Hochschulen familienfreundlicher zu gestalten. Zu diesem Zweck arbeiten zwölf Hochschulen gemeinsam an der Umsetzung von Konzepten und Strukturen, die Studierende und Beschäftigte darin unterstützen, Familie und Studium bzw. Beruf besser zu vereinbaren. Erläuternde Informationen zum Produkt „Kontaktliste mit familienfreundlichen Hochschulen im europäischen und weltweiten Ausland - eine Auswahl“ Ziel der vorliegenden Kontaktliste mit ausgewählten familienfreundlichen Hochschulen im Ausland ist es, Studierenden mit Kind die Wahl des Gastlandes und der Hochschule für Ihren Auslandsaufenthalt zu erleichtern. Mithilfe einer breit angelegten Internetrecherche von insgesamt 340 Hochschulen gelang es, insgesamt 75 Beispielhochschulen im europäischen und weltweiten Ausland aufzuzeigen, die für einen Auslandsaufenthalt mit Kind besonders geeignet sind.

Tasks including human-machine interaction (HMI) are increasingly integrated into the work process. The work ranges of robots and operators in manual assembly and maintenance are progressively fusing – the coexistence will move towards human-robot collaboration (HRC). Consequently, the higher dynamics of processes in the digitized industry include additional stress factors and offers new challenges: HMI can result in cognitive overload of the worker due to the interpretation of multiple signals and therefore lead to a high risk of exhaustion. Furthermore, there are strong barriers to working with a robot colleague. To increase the acceptance of HRC and to reduce the strain of the worker, user-centered needs have to be sufficiently considered. However, workplaces for HMI are widely developed from a technology-centric perspective. The design research will close this gap by developing a novel holistic method for the design of industrial workplaces. Accordingly, the study places great emphasis on understanding of human factors in terms of its physical, cognitive and organizational limitations and their applications to industrial design.
