ECET 6003:Advanced Test Engineering

3 Class Hours 3 Laboratory Hours 4 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Fundamental Test Engineering equivalent to ECET 3600
An in-depth study of test engineering with emphasis on computer-aided instrumentation utilizing the IEEE-488 bus and protocols. LabVIEW for windows will be used to develop automated test systems and virtual instruments. Component, board, backplane, in-circuit, functional and systems testing will be researched and analyzed in relationship to cost, testability and fault analysis. Surface-mounted device and ASIC testing are also studied. Boundary-scan, VXI/VME, commercially available software and other test strategies will be explored.
