Research On The Distance Education And Supporting System Of Marine Machinery Maintenance

The information technology is in rapid development by now and is used more and more widely. It has changed people's life style, which Distance Education is a good example. On the other hand, the application of information technology on company's information management, manufacturing process controlling, condition monitoring and default diagnosis has strongly pushed manufacturing industry. So it can conclude that device management and maintenance should make good use of information technology to acquire more development.In the area of marine machinery maintenance, mechanical device is more and more complex and the maintenance technology has been rapidly developed. A useful education and training system on marine machinery maintenance should be established to produce high-level maintenance managers and technicians. To do this, the employ of Internet should be a good choice.In this paper, I reviewed the history of Distance Education and made a survey of its advantages; discussed the construction of Distance Education system. I also made a simple discussion on how to use WWW and ASP to do distant education and supporting on marine machinery maintenance, and a sample system was provided.In this system, the marine mechanical devices are sorted by level and coded respectively; A distant query method based on ASP and ADO is designed by which the user can access the system from client-side browser; Common mechanical defaults, detecting methods, default-avoiding methods and repairing methods are demonstrated in the form of Web page; A specialized BBS on marine machinery maintenance is also provided as a communication tool.
