The Program initially started in 1989 with full implementation in 1997.The program goal is to give the engineering graduates the education and training needed to solveproblems related to the design and implementation for GE Transportation. The specific programobjectives are:≠ Provide GE Transportation with a stream of well-trained engineering workforce.≠ Provide GE Transportation with professional expertise and local resources to assist with advanced technologies.≠ Provide graduate students with a curriculum focusing on mechanical/electromechanical, thermal/fluid, electrical, electronic, and software systems.≠ Provide/develop courses in the subject areas related to the activities and needs of GE Transportation.Program

The CIM course is asenior-level design-based course dealing with modern technologies such as automation, digitalcontrollers, programmable logical controllers (PLCs), computer-numerically controlled (CNC)machines, and robotics. The CIM laboratory curriculum includes hands-on experiences withsimple digital controllers, PLCs, CNC mills, and robots. PLCs are industrial grade computersused extensively in automation. In this study, we concentrate on the PLC experience. Laboratoryexercises are developed to enable students to learn and to enhance their problem-solving skillsusing familiar design situations.PLC Module DescriptionSince the

version.IntroductionIn the United States today, there is great interest in the education and graduation of morestudents in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines.1,2There are two primary tasks that are needed for this goal to be accomplished. First, morestudents need to be attracted to pursue college-level studies in the STEM fields. Second, oncethose students are attracted to a STEM field, the colleges and universities must provide anattractive, nurturing environment designed to allow a wide range of students to succeed, whilestill providing a rigorous education.The College of Engineering and Applied Science (CEAS) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) has generally been able to attract as many students into its
