Regulation and Certification of (Bio)Medical Engineers: A Case Study on Romania.

This paper analyzes the Romanian biomedical engineering educational path and certification process in European and international contexts and emphasizes the existence of a deficient operationalization of this qualification and profession, arguing that the domestic shortcomings are both a consequence of an unquestioned process of adopting European and even international classification schemes, and of insufficiently developed national administrative capabilities to properly implement the aforementioned classification frameworks. The core part of the article investigates the current academic track of the biomedical engineering specialization and scrutinizes the classification of occupations at different jurisdictional levels. The conclusions of the study indicate that one of the possible solutions for improving this unsatisfying status quo comes from a better communication between the national and European levels, and by their pro-active involvement in the international attempts of reviewing and refining the existing frameworks. The article ends with several recommendations and policy proposals meant to strengthen the role of various profession-certifying European documents, as well as to alleviate the regulatory deficiencies that this specialization has at Romanian level, in order to maximize its potential in the labor market.

A Study of the Connection Between Bending Stress and Belt Friction Using a Servomotor Controlled by a Computer

The aim of the publication is to design an analytical relationship for determining the bending coefficient measurable by belt friction. Following the results of the presented measurements, the theoretical assumption is verified that in the material of the belt stress arises during the friction of the contact surfaces, due to external forces and bending of the belt. Selected experiments of drawing a polypropylene belt at a constant speed over an aluminium cylindrical surface are carried out using a servo drive on a measuring bench with computer-controlled instrumentation. The results of friction and bending coefficient measurements are interpreted in connection with the setting of various input parameters (especially friction surfaces and belt thicknesses), at a constant shaft speed. The newly identified dimensionless bending coefficient of belt friction is a material coefficient with a comparative information value concerning the flexibility of the belt, suitably supplementing the friction Euler-Eytelwein coefficient. The presented publication can be suitably applied especially to the engineering educational process.
