The Feasibility and Applications of a Computer-Based System for Electronic Test Equipment Training.

摘要

The purpose of this study was to examine the cost and technical feasibility of applying simulation techniques to basic electronics and test equipment training. Analysis of the life cycle costs of current Navy Basic Electricity and Electronics (BE and E) training revealed that 94% of the training costs are personnel-related. A simulation-based basic electronics training system was conceptually designed and the cost of its implementation in a Navy BE and E School was estimated. A life cycle cost comparison of the current BE and E training system with the simulation-based system indicated that the simulation approach is cost-effective. Finally, a demonstration of the technical feasibility of simulation-based basic electronics training was designed and implemented. It was concluded that a simulation approach to basic electronics and test equipment training is technically feasible, cost-effective, and would improve training effectiveness. (Author)
