studying, homework problems/questions, projects, and otherwork outside the classroom itself. However, for an OSHA 30 card, 30 of the 37.5 hoursof time in the classroom would have to be devoted to the requisite OSHA topics.Therefore coverage in other areas such as safety training methods, OSHA recordkeeping,worker’s compensation, and safety design/engineering would be compromised because ofthe OSHA requirements. Any educational course is about choices and based on this it ishard to justify the time to grant students an OSHA 30 card within the confines/limits ofthe standard four-year degree. It may be best for students then to obtain their OSHA 30cards outside the traditional four-year degree requirements. A review of commonly-utilized construction

component to students seeking nanotechnology education whilepreserving the interdisciplinary nature of the field and the audience. The goal of this approach Page 22.468.2was to provide students with fundamental skills which will come in handy in as many directionsas they could possibly go into, within nanotechnology. The course is part of a plan to introducenanotechnology into undergraduate education at GVSU serving engineering and sciencestudents. This plan includes this course and a sequel project based course in nanotechnology, aswell as major components to disseminate nanotechnology education to K-12 students, masterstudents, and the public.

capabilityand its biocompatibility are attractive. Unfortunately, these actuators are slow, relativelybulky, incapable of high output force, and consume large amounts of power.The next actuator considered was shape memory alloy (SMA). This type of actuator had allthe qualities necessary for this device with two exceptions. SMA is heat-activated and thushas very low efficiency and slow response time. In addition, this means that the devicedissipates a lot of power. Despite this drawback, it was decided that SMA would be sufficientfor the purposes of a capsule prototype. The issue of power consumption will be addressed asthe project progresses further.Our conceptual design of the capsule robot is inspired from the earthworm-like locomotivemechanisms

onlinediscussion groups. Student experience in the course is assessed using an online course evaluationat the end of the term.One notable feature of the written examinations is the inclusion of an online hardware-basedquestion. The student reserves one of the workstations during his or her scheduled examinationtime and is given a small project to realize using the PLC, microcontroller, or FPGA trainer. Thestudent then submits a file containing the solution with the written part of the exam. The solutioncan then be tested on the machine as part of the grading process. The instructor or a teachingassistant may also monitor the student’s effort on the workstation in real time if desired.SummaryThis paper described a new online graduate engineering technology

The digital controller will provide therequired output with variations in a single plant parameter. A fully adaptive controller will thenbe implemented using PC Matlab to allow for any of the plant parameters to vary and stillmaintain a suitable output. This concept can be used in Senior Design Project Course as well asin Master Programs in developing nations with limited resources.The popularity of the PID controller and the increased use of microprocessors have led to adigital version of the algorithm for use in

As courses become moregrounded in student-centered learning approaches through the addition of design projects,problem-based learning, and other student-centered learning activities, it is important that theinteractions between the instructors and the students allow for a positive classroom environment.Grounded in self-determination theory, our study investigates the

The current focus of Dr. Wood’s research is the continued development of empirical testing methods using similitude-based approaches. This approach provides significant potential for increasing the efficiency of the design process through a reduction in required full-scale testing and an expansion of the projected performance profiles using empirically-based prediction techniques.

The MEAs in this study were assigned after the conceptswere first introduced in class (reinforce). Students worked in teams of three on the MEAs.Seven MEAs were used in the four courses.

The profile was created throughmultiple focus groups that were based on ABET criteria, professional engineering societyopinions on what ethical engineers should be, opinions from industry, and defined competenciesfor a public university.12 The profile is designed to direct outcomes of universities for faculty andemployers.12Finally, multiple research projects originating through a team at James
