45 Years of Postgraduate Technical Education in Quality and Reliability in Romania
Journal Title: Asigurarea Calităţii – Quality Assurance - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 92
Abstract
This paper analyses the evolution of Romanian postgraduate technical education in the field of quality and reliability during the last five decades, especially for the domain of electronics and telecommunications. It is mentioned that the first graduate and postgraduate courses in the field were introduced at the faculty of Electronics and telecommunication of the Polytechnic Institute of Bucharest, under the coordination of the new chair of Electronic Technology and Reliability. The main stages that marked the evolution of the high-level technical education in the field of quality and reliability in electronics and telecommunication, – mainly through the achievements of the Department of Electronic Technology and Reliability of the Polytechnical University of Bucharest – are analysed, namely: the postgraduate academic program "Quality, reliability and maintainability of complex systems” (1972-2008), the European educational project TEMPUS S-JEP 11300 "EUROQUALROM" (1996-1999), and the Master's programs "Quality and Reliability Engineering” – ICF (1996-2006) and "Quality and Dependability Engineering in Electronics and Telecommunications” – ICSFET (since 2006). After almost five decades of achievements in higher technical education and scientific research in the field of quality and reliability in electronics and telecommunications, it is concluded that there is today a real "Romanian school" in the field, whose achievements are known and appreciated at national level, as well as internationally.
