Abstract (EN): Test rig and prototype development, use of measurement techniques and methodologies, measurement analysis, presentation and uncertainty evaluation, data acquisition and monitoring systems, data wireless communication and remote actuation are essential in engineering areas as well as in many other related fields where measurements are crucial. Because of the relevance of these aspects they are also very important in higher education engineering curricula. So, the Symposium on Instrumentation and Engineering Measurement fits within the objectives of the 3rd International Conference on Integrity, Reliability & Failure – IRF’2009 and is part of the scope of the research Unit of System Integration and Process Automation (UISPA), coordinated by the symposium organizer. UISPA integrates the Institute of Mechanical Engineering (IDMEC) at the Faculty of Engineering of University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal. The Symposium papers range from large structural analyses to detailed case studies which report on the application of procedures, technologies and concepts. Some of the papers dealing with on-line systems for educational purposes are collected in the present iJOE special issue. It starts with two extended abstracts, which briefly present the topic of the two invited keynotes: Susan Zvacek, from Kansas University, within the Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP) from IEEE Education Society and Dieter Muller from Bremen University.
