The transition has not been withouta cost, both in dollars and time, but the benefits as measured both in student and academicsatisfaction have been significant.The paperless environment was initiated with the senior design course but has since migrated toall design courses given within the department. The primary requirements for going paperlesswere willingness on the part of the academic staff to move away from traditional methods and acommitment on the part of the departmental governance

This course could introduce the students to the broad range of the subjects discussed in this paper but wouldn’t prepare the student to necessarily work in the field of alternative energy although it could give interested students a spring board into an emerging field. It could be targeted to all of Engineering Technology students or a specific discipline within.

The Technology and Engineering criteria (TAC and EAC) ofthe Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) emphasize theimportance of a capstone experience in the curriculum. The capstone design projectsrequire students to use fundamental scientific concepts and basic technical skills learnedin the classroom to solve ‘real-world’ problems instead of answering end-of-the chapterquestions from the textbook. The capstone projects provide an opportunity for students todemonstrate critical thinking skills. It prepares them better to assume the

Presently, the majority of electrical, somemechanical and almost all electromechanical engineering technology programs have a course intheir curriculum called control systems. Even though they carry the same name, most often theircontents are drastically different. In many programs the focus of the course is on the applicationof typical classical control.
