Overview
Every company that manufacturers a product –
whether a car, a cell phone, an aircraft, or even a
light bulb, needs to test the product before shipping
it. In the past, these tests were mostly carried out
manually by technicians and operators on an
assembly line. But with the growth of technology
and standardization of instrumentation platforms,
automating these tests has become simpler and
allowed manufacturers to increase test confidence
and throughput while reducing costs. Manufacturers
worldwide now depend on trained engineers that
can ensure that their products are able to sustain
repeatable production demands while maintaining
their product quality and brand integrity.
The Advanced Electronic Test Automation Suite
provides the tools necessary for students to develop,
learn, and investigate activities associated with
automating electronic test in the real world and
enables them to create solutions that solve difficult
manufacturing challenges. This suite will teach
students how to design for manufacturability and
design for testability – skills that are very valued in
the industry. Students will be able to get hands on
experience with integrating test systems and writing
automation routines. Additionally, they will learn how
to create instrument drivers to interface external
instruments to CPUs, opening up exciting opportunities
for the students.

Overview
Collecting and analyzing physical data is an integral
part of any mechanical design. Mechanical systems
like automobile engines, aircraft wings, and rockets
are tested rigorously, and the acquired data is used
to modify the design to increase performance and
reliability of the system. Knowing how to perform
these test and how to use the test data to optimize
design is a crucial skill for any real world mechanical
engineer.
The advanced physical measurement and analysis
suite contains all the resources necessary for
performing static testing on mechanical systems.
Static measurements are slow or gradually changing
values like temperature and strain as opposed to
dynamic measurements which are fast and randomly
changing like vibrations. The instruments provided
in this suite are the same as those used to perform
testing and analysis of extremely complex systems
like the Boeing Dreamliner airframe, ATK Thiokol’s
Rocket engines, and GE’s power generators. Using
these tools will give students hands on experience
on with testing and analysis techniques required in
industry and allow them to become industry ready
engineers. In addition, these tools provide advanced
capabilities to the institutions that will allow them to
collaborate with industry partners on research and
development efforts.

Overview
Structural dynamics is the study of the responses
of structures due to dynamic loading. Whether an
aircraft flying through rough weather, or an offshore
wind turbine being hit by waves or a building during
an earthquake, mechanical and civil structures often
experience dynamic loads. Any real world mechanical
or civil engineer must have a good understanding of
the response of structures due to dynamic loading, in
order to design resilient structures optimized for safety,
performance and comfort.
This suite provides all the tools necessary for students to
get a strong understanding of the dynamic behavior
of structures through hands on practical experience.
VTI’s structural dynamics test instruments have been
used to optimize some of the highest performance and
most reliable designs in the world. The current Formula
1 champions Renault for example uses VTI’s hardware
to optimize the design of the F1 cars. Students with a
strong understanding of structural dynamics will be very
attractive prospects to aerospace, automotive, defense,
and civil engineering companies. In addition, these tools
provide advanced capabilities to the institutions that
will allow them to collaborate with industry partners on
research and development efforts.

Complete Center of Excellence Packages
A Center of Excellence (CoE) is an institution that provides
absolute leadership, knowhow, research, support and/or
training for a particular focus area. Centers of Excellence
drive the innovation and developments in that focus area
and push the boundaries of what is currently achievable.
They become the go-to-institutions for industry and
government entities seeking to apply the particular
technologies/techniques for their own engineering
developments.
VTI has partnered with several institutions to provide
cutting edge tools and access to resources necessary to
develop and sustain Centers of Excellence. We wish to
assist engineering institutions in India as well to achieve
and sustain similar statuses. India produces some of
the best engineers and scientists in the world, but is
affected by the problem of brain drain – many of our
brightest engineers end up working in foreign countries.
The student’s departure often starts with them pursuing
Master’s or Doctorate degrees in foreign institutions where
better tools and facilities are often available to enable
them to gain better understanding on focused topics.
By establishing Centers of Excellence in India, we wish to
combat this problem and enable domestic institutions
to provide a high-level of practical education and
focused training that the students desire. VTI will provide
the complete tools, resources, partnerships and training
to help the institutions gain a level of expertise in the
field that will allow them to be recognized as a Center
of Excellence. This will not only help draw the best and
brightest students, but also allow institutions to develop
collaborative industrial partnerships which can generate
a significant added revenue stream. In addition, students
graduating through the Center of Excellence programs
will become industry specialists in the particular fields, and
become highly sought after.
