The future accumulation of several years’ worth of data will allowfor a more refined look at the course outcomes.“Enduring Design: The Art of Engineering” was created as a means to provide an appropriatecontext for students in technical disciplines to achieve a better appreciation of the impact andinfluence of art on the world around them. The course certainly met this modest goal andassessment suggests the potential for refinement and possible expansion to reach a broaderaudience.References[1] Lichtenstein, Gary, McCormick, Alexander C., Sheppard, Sherri D., and Puma, Jini, 2010, “Comparing the Undergraduate Experience

training inthe Midwest region, which is heavily dependent on manufacturing, have led to the proposal toestablish a photonics education center in the Midwest.A group of stakeholders including 16 photonics industry representatives, five educators, and twoOP-TEC representatives originally met in 2010 and formed a Midwest photonics cluster. As aresult of this meeting, new partnerships were formed and plans were made to move forward withthe pursuit of a regional center. In 2011, a planning grant (NSF Award #1104083) was receivedand utilized to develop the foundation for the creation of the Midwest Photonics EducationCenter (MPEC). The work of the planning grant included identifying additional educationalinstitutions, partnering with OP-TEC on a

In thetheory course, more time was spent on sequential circuits and timing diagrams and less time onreviewing combinational circuits and the specific characteristics of combinational and sequentialcircuits from the 74HC xx and 74SNxx series.In the second part of the course, the electrical DC and AC characteristics of CMOS family werecovered, emphasizing concepts such as low power dissipation, noise margin, rise time, falltime, ground bounce, reading

Physically located at the Mesabi Range Technical and Community Collegein 2010, it was designed to meet the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technologycriteria1 with a project-based curriculum (PBL)30. The core philosophy and curriculum wasreplicated at TCE in 2013 with two full-time faculty, a part-time industrial relations coordinatorwho also serves as adjunct faculty, and a technical writing graduate assistant. Additionally, theprogram uses industry mentors to support students as they work toward completing theirprojects.TCE students are required to complete four semester-long design projects before graduation.Each of the four
