In the paper the application of the digital signal processor (DSP) evaluation module (EVM) in the students laboratory in the Institute of Radioelectronics of Warsaw University of Technology is shown. The laboratory stand built on the base of Motorola’s DSP56002EVM card is described. The software for the card, written in the processor assembler, and for the personal computer, written in LabWindows/CVI and MATLAB environments, are shortly presented. The way in which the EVM module can be used is also given.

The strict theory of Fourier transformation algorithms is required in the scientific education. However, the intuition sense is also required in the measurement, because the measurement objects have many projective spaces and an appropriate measurement should be carried out on an appropriate projective space. The intuition sense will be requested in the education where not only conceptual lectures but practical examples and applications are given. One of the applications is shown on this report; that is the image processing method. These measurement methods are employed on the industrial site especially to measure something of moving objects, such as the size of the objects. An automobile flow measurement is one of the examples of this method. A vehicle size on a video picture plane appears as brightness distribution, which is one of the projective spaces of the measurement object. Further more, the spatial frequency spectrum of brightness distribution is also a projective space of the object. An appropriate projective space should be selected for the practical measurement.

Measurement is assumed to be the most reliable means of acquiring information on physical reality. What are the logical foundation of this conviction, and how they should be integrated in the syllabi of measurement-related courses? Abstract thinking has been considered a cornerstone of Latin civilisation. Are we facing the crisis of this paradigm in higher engineering education? These are only two among several aspects of facing reality that are analysed in this paper.

Chain Institute of Metrology (CIM) is a special college multiply supervised by the State Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision (SBQTS) and the State Education Ministry. In this paper, The background of CIM is briefly described first Then the new strategic challenges for CIM are presented, which is not only related to the development of science and technological in the coming new century, but also to the further open police and economy reforming of China. Facing the new strategic challenges, CIM must modify its instruction ideas and its relationship with enterprises and corporations, find more supports from SBQTS, SEM and the local government of Zhejiang province, build a wide cooperation relationship with the international, and do its best to gear its education and training program, featured in the characteristics in the metrology and quality management, to the development of the national economy

Measurement, instrumentation and test management MM is the planning and realisation of skilful mental efforts and natural (biological) and/or artificial (technological) actions to solve measurement, instrumentation and test situations. Standard situations in information acquisition and automation are that we don't know what we don't know. If we don't know, we can't control. If we can't control, we are at the mercy of chance. To get knowledge we have to get data from the pro-cesses and products. To get valid data from the processes and products, we must measure.
Aim of the paper is to present
- modern tools for Internet-based research, education and training in measurement, instrumentation and test management MM and
- modern tools of knowledge management to bridge the gap between traditional measurement theory and actual demands in technical and non-technical systems.
