2Department for Interchangeable Manufacturing and
Industrial Metrology Vienna University of
Technology - TU-Wien, A-1040 Wien,
Austria The task of the Department is to realize
- the development, - the research, and
- the education In the field of
Interchangeable manufacturing, Quality
management, Environmental management, Metrology,
Production metrology, Nanotechnology,
Nanometrology, Precision engineering, CAD/CAQ
Standardisation, Certification, Accreditation,
Laser metrology, Geometrical product
specifications and verification, in co-operation
with the industry .

Laboratory - Tactile measurement technique -
Optical metrology - Co-ordinate metroilogy -
Micro and Nanometrology - Laser interferometry
- Quality assurance / Quality management, CAD/CAQ
4QM SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION AT THE UNIVERSITY The
Department started its work for establishing
itself as a certification body for quality
personnel in 1996 after having been granted with
an EN/ISO 9001 certificate for quality management
of educational processes by an international
certification corporation in July 1995 being
world wide one of the first University institutes
having such a certificate. The building up of
the specific quality management system with all
necessary documents was a difficult task and it
took the Department more than 2 years to fulfil
that task.
5The Department for Interchangeable Manufacturing
and Industrial Metrology1) of the Institute of
Production Engineering at Vienna University of
Technology built up a specific educational system
and scheme that will be of special interest for
young academics - especially in the engineering
field to become excellently trained quality
personnel (? Fig 1). 1)Abteilung Austauschbau
und Messtechnik AuM, Institut für
Fertigungstechnik, TU-Wien

Quality Personnel
7The Department for Interchangeable Manufacturing
and Industrial Metrology of TU-Wien has been
successful in being accredited for the
registration and certification of quality
personnel according to the EOQ scheme, which is
important because it opens new possibilities for
educational processes at the universities. In
analogy to the European harmonized scheme for
quality personnel the basics of a proposal for
metrologists whereas the appropriate
competences requirements are described exists
already in a draft form of national
international standards, which are in the state
of finalisation.
8- Higher Education - Situation in Austria
- UNIVERSITY STUDY
- The traditional degrees are the Magister and
Diplom- Ingenieur. These degrees can be obtained
after at least four to six years of study.
Beginning with the year 2000 many curricula have
already been converted into separate bachelor and
master (Magister) programmes. - Nominal durations
- Bachelor six semesters (three years)
- Master three to four semesters (1,5 2
years) - With few exceptions all university curricula will
be remodelled to this format within the next
years. - Doctoral programmes
- Enrolment in a doctoral programme generally
requires a masters level in a related field. The
nominal duration of Doctoral programme is two or
three years.
9- Situation in Austria
- UNIVERSITY STUDY
- As a result of the reforms since 1960s, the
university system has changed from one serving
the elite to one serving the masses. - The Republic of Austria has a free and public
school system, and eight years of education are
mandatory. Schools offer a series of
vocational-technical and university preparatory
tracks involving one to four additional years of
education beyond the minimum mandatory level. - After the last reforms in 2003 universities have
become independent juristic persons and have been
given considerably more discretion by the law to
act without ministerial control.
10- Situation in Austria
- Universities
- The university system has been free until 2001,
since then studies are subject to fees (about 730
Euro per semester). 23 public and 11 private
universities enjoy a high degree of autonomy and
offer a full spectrum of degree programs - Private Universities
- Accreditation of private universities started in
2001, based on a federal law. Accreditation
includes the right to legally grant academic
degrees. The accreditation council evaluates
applicants and issues recommendations to the
responsible accreditation authority. - Universities of Applied Sciences
Fachhochschulen - During the 1990s the Universities of Applied
Sciences has been introduced, in addition to the
traditional universities. The education and
training at these colleges is more tailored to
practically applicable professional skills.
Prescribed time is usually four years.
11- Situation in Austria
- Academic degrees
- In Austria there is no institution comparable to
the American college or to the American
professional school. Students enrol in one field
of studies, in which they are expected to
graduate after four to six years. Since the
1970s, the first degree was the Magister in the
humanities, economic and social sciences, law and
natural sciences. The first degree in engineering
and agriculture is the Diplom-Ingenieur.
Recently, and in accordance with EU regulations,
many universities have begun to introduce a
Bachelor degree also, which come before the
Magister or Master. - Postgraduate degrees such as MBAs have been
introduced since the 1990s. - Bologna Process
- With the Bologna Process, Austria has committed
to transform its system to the structure of
distinguishing between Bachelor and Master
degrees.
12- Situation in Austria
- Bologna Process
- With the Bologna Process, Austria has committed
to transform its system to the structure of
distinguishing between Bachelor and Master
degrees. - European Credit Transfer System
Upon successful completion of everything by a
particular curriculum, the relevant university
degree is awarded by way of a written official
notification.
