Changing the inputs and monitoring theirinfluence on the output will definitely help inspire students desire to answer the “what if”question, hence helping them to think out of the box and become a better designers who look atthe problem from all perspectives analyzing all possible scenarios. The impact of using this toolwill be monitored through regular surveys among the students, and through statistical analysis ofstudent’s performance.References1 R. C. Garcia and B. S.

learning with community-based work.All of these definitions convey the idea that service learning allows the university to providebenefits to the community in which it is located while educating the students which it serves.Service learning is thus viewed as a form of experiential learning where course-based conceptsare reinforced in community settings which benefit from student involvement.Vaughn and Seifer suggest that “engineering is uniquely situated for the integration of servicelearning in the curriculum because of its emphasis on experiential education, problem solving,and working in groups.”5 Similarly, Pritchard, opines that “service learning engineering may beespecially promising” given ABET’s EC 2000’s “major design experience

. Less cost of purchase: a system that is based on fieldbus technology requires significantly less hardware than a traditional system. 6. Savings: fieldbus based systems will have a) engineering savings, b) construction savings, c) maintenance savings, and d) operation savings. 7. Lower cost of expansion and change: Since fieldbus systems are cheaper to buy and deploy, they are also cheaper to expand and modify.There are many fieldbus networks. Noel classified fieldbuses as discrete buses and processbuses [15]. Discrete buses primarily focus in the discrete manufacturing area and are typicallyON/OFF action, simple switches or low-level sensors. Competing discrete buses are: AS-I bus,Devicenet, Interbus-S, Profibus DP, SERCOS

Teams met to sketch and develop their designs, obtain needed materials, andbegin the production process. Figure 1 shows the conceptual designs and CAD drawingdone by the students after a couple of iterations. The instructor and the project leadershelped to finalize their conceptual designs. Team 1’s idea was to build a ‘multi-activitystation’ which had 4 different activity sites such as waterwheel, foot pump/bubblegenerator, torque converter, and funnel.
