A framework for the documentation of laboratory development efforts

Arrington, Daniel W. 23 December 2009 (has links)
<p>Documentation is essential to the success of any project or system and has three major functions. Those functions are: to help the user become familiar with the system, to help the user increase the system's productivity, effectiveness and efficiency, and to guide the user in an unexpected or emergency condition.</p> <p> The flexible manufacturing and assembly system (FMAS) in 161 Whittemore Hall was an example of an undocumented system. Manufacturer documentation about the system's components was available, but little formal documentation on the system as a whole existed. Additionally, the documents that were available for the system did not follow any common format. That is, each document had its own style.</p> <p> There were two primary objectives of this research. The first was to develop a standard format and style guide for use when creating documentation for laboratory development projects within the Manufacturing Automation Laboratories (MAL). The second objective was to apply the developed format and style guide to the writing of a user's manual for the FMAS in 161 Whittemore Hall. A secondary goal was to establish a document numbering system. This numbering system is to be used to identify, by type and chronology, all documents submitted to the MAL library.</p> <p> This project report is very short, simply because the products of the research are separate, stand-alone documents. The first of the two, the <u>Manufacturing Automation Laboratories Documentation Style Guide</u>, satisfies the first primary objective, and the document numbering system format is included as an appendix. The style guide presents general information about MAL document preparation, establishes guidelines for documentation of computer code, and addresses the required content of MAL drawings and graphics. Also presented in this guide is an introduction to the PAPYRUS reference database system, which is to be used when creating any documentation for the MAL library.</p> <p> The Flexible Manufacturing and Assembly System User's Manual satisfies the second objective, introducing the reader to the components of the FMAS and providing descriptions of the components' tasks in the system. Two chapters of the manual are devoted to safety and maintenance with respect to the FMAS, and another details the procedures for activating and shutting down the system.<p> / Master of Science

Remote Labs: A Method to Implement a Portable Logic Design Laboratory Infrastructure and to Provide Access to Modern Test Equipment

Unknown Date (has links)
This Thesis explores building low cost and reliable portable laboratory infrastructure platform for Logic Design, methods for allowing access to modern test equipment via the internet, and issues related to academic integrity. A comprehensive engineering education, per ABET, requires an equal emphasis on both lecture and laboratory components. The laboratory experience builds and establishes a foundation of skills and experiences that the student cannot obtain through any other means. The laboratory must use modern, pertinent methods and techniques including the use of appropriate tools. This is especially true when it comes to test equipment. Engineering students require and deserve training on and access to modern test equipment in order to obtain better career opportunities. However, providing access to modern and relevant labs requires a significant budget commitment. One way to extend current budgets is to adopt the growing concept of “remote labs.” This approach allows higher utilization of existing (and costly) equipment, it improves an institution’s Return on Investment (ROI), and also can be used to meet the needs of students’ complicated schedules, especially in the case of a “commuter campus,” where a majority of students live off campus. By developing remote labs, both the institution and the students benefit: Institutions increase equipment utilization, and utilize space, budgets and support personnel more efficiently. Students can access a lab whenever and wherever they have internet access. Finally, academic integrity must be protected to ensure the potential of remote laboratories in education. This Thesis presents a design and implementation plan for a low cost Logic Design laboratory infrastructure built and tested over 3 years by over 1,500 Logic Design students; a design and implementation of the infrastructure to include the ability to measure using remote test equipment; and the design of a case (3d printed or laser cut) to encapsulate a USB enabled micro-controller; and a scheme to ensure the academic integrity is maintained for in-person, hybrid and fully online classes. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2018. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Design and implementation of a microcomputer based Laboratory and Operations Information System (LOIS) for wastewater treatment plants

Harvey, Glenn B. 08 September 2012 (has links)
The requirements for a wastewater treatment plant microcomputer based Laboratory and Operations Information System (LOIS) were considered. Emphasis was placed on combining data generated by the laboratory and the operations divisions of the Alexandria Sanitation Authority. Goals were established to meet the information needs of key decision makers within the Authority and external information consumers such as regulatory authorities and design engineers. Integration of laboratory analysis and plant operational data was of prime importance. A series of related computer programs was developed to manage laboratory and operational data and calculate results derived from both sources. The programs stressed data integrity, flexible report generation, statistical and graphical data analysis, and ease of use. A program was developed to address laboratory quality control data management and the production of quality control charts. The computer programs were written in a generic fashion so as to be applicable to other water or wastewater treatment plants and to provide maximum flexibility for future expansion. Programs were developed in a modular fashion to allow greater ease of maintenance and revision in the future. Common subroutines were employed wherever possible. Some report generation subprograms were written specifically to the requirements of the Alexandria Sanitation Authority. / Master of Science
