University, Will participates in robotics, is the past president of his school’s ASEE chapter, and is a member of Tau Beta Pi, IEEE and ACM. His engineering interests lie mainly in the fields of electrical and computer engineering. Upon graduation, he hopes to begin teaching engineering to high school students and to serve as both a role model and advocate for pursuing STEM, and specifically engineering as a field of study and career.

years of thinking about what we offer to students in engineering, it is plain to see thatthere is a necessity to provide future engineers with the tools needed to function productively insociety. When looking at how we prepare mechanical engineers it is fairly easy to see the needsof the customer. Whether it be mathematics, fluids, controls, vibrations, heat transfer, or design,the educational systems across the country and for the most part the world prepare students fortheir entrance into their careers. There is no argument in that, but as one looks at the whole bodyand not just the technical composition of our students, there is a need to continue to explore howwe can provide closer to 100% of their needs and not just those of the technical

including OPC UA. These are still to be explored and will be part of the expandedlinking of the data in the experimental labs to higher level computers for analysis.Also, recent additions to the texts occurred after discussions with software designers on the valueof UDT generation. All these experiences directly link to the effort to expand the number andkind of lab experiences. Data can be smoothed, analyzed, stored for historical purposes, andotherwise displayed in various formats. Database applications can use the data for purposes ofvarious reports.MotivationFor one who began a career as an engineer in a manufacturing environment before moving to acareer in education, these labs have been a positive motivation to keep the engineer in
