Abstract:

In Japan, the measurement uncertainty did not become popular in industry in the past. Further more, the measurement uncertainty became to recognize that it was for calibration and it was difficult for many metrologists. The reason might be that instances of calibration uncertainty evaluation were introduced as an engineering training seminar. Why the uncertainty did not become popular in Japan, we assumed that the problem lurked in the uncertainty education. Then we tried to learn how to educate the measurement uncertainty from the uncertainty-training seminar held in overseas. The curriculums of those seminars were only for beginners, so that we were convinced of our misunderstanding for uncertainty education we had. We also understood the importance of teaching staff. After these processes, the new uncertainty-training seminar matched with Japanese situation was developed in 2003. During this development, we thought of the new style budget-sheet for beginner to calculate the measurement uncertainty easily and we have been proposing it via the seminar. We began to manage this seminar since early 2004 and we also began to open the text of this seminar on our website as free download page since 2005. More than 300 delegates from industry have already joined this seminar, and also more than 1,200 guests have already downloaded this text. The measurement uncertainty is on the way to popular via these delegates and by these guests. We describe about the details of above development process especially budget-sheet and we introduce the concept and the curriculum of this seminar. Finally we mention about the development of new training courses that are useful for industry and touch on the growing-up of teaching staff as a future plan.
