He is the author of the text Embedded Microcontrollers, which covers assembly and C programming in small real-time embedded systems, and has been teaching the upper level embedded systems and senior project courses in EE/EET at WWU for 30 years.Dr. Derek M. Yip-Hoi, Western Washington University Dr. Yip-Hoi received his Ph.D. from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan in 1997. His dissertation research focused on developing Computer-Aided Process Planning methods and software tools to support automation of machining on Mill/Turn machining centers. Follow- ing his Ph.D., he worked for several years with the NSF Engineering Research Center for
, which focuses ondifferent tools and techniques commonly used in project management. The instructor observedthat a disconnect exists in his course between learning about the various project managementtools and techniques and how these are applied in engineering technology professions underconstraints such as cost, quality, safety, etc. Although the students learn how to create schedules,budgets, and risk management plans, they never learn if these management plans work becausethey don't get the opportunity to implement them. This type of exercise could be described ashalf learning. In order to close this gap, an innovative instructional module based on ProjectBased Virtual Simulation Tool was developed and implemented. It was anticipated that
to forecast demand and plan for inventory which is one of the most critical concerns inthe fields of supply chain engineering technology.

Three 11-week terms were devoted to the research,development, and testing of this device, which required precise planning during each stage of theproject.

In industrial scenarios in particular, it isoften important that experimental measurements be planned and executed in manner that causesminimal disruption of operations in addition to being carried out with sufficient accuracy for theresults to address the interests of the business.Development of these skills in the course of baccalaureate engineering technology programsaddresses three of the outcomes from the Criterion 3.

were also investigated based on high school preparedness, path to CM as amajor, self-efficacy, institutional and curriculum satisfaction, and future career plans. Parentaleducational level (i.e., completed a bachelor’s) is used as a measure of first-generation college student.The measure of high school preparedness evaluates students’ math and science experience. For instance,students respond to semester of math in high school, math/science course completed, whether advancedplacement courses were offered, and perceived college math preparedness. Students indicated their pathstudents followed to CM major, institutional and curriculum, and future plans. Most of the measuresused multiple choice survey options while others, such as self-efficacy

The model that this team created was intended to be a “one-of” resource that could bebuilt for a classroom where multiple student teams would have the ability to instrument, monitorand control more aspects of the structure. For example, this design included a fully functionalheating and air conditioning system with associated
] [3].Just as parts have standard tolerances, assemblies comprised of those parts have a tolerance aswell. The total tolerance for the assembly is directly driven by the tolerances of the parts whichcomprise the assembly. For example, if the assembly were comprised of parts which are all at theupper end of their total tolerance, the assembly might not function as intended. Therefore, designengineers must be mindful of the total tolerance with respect to the assembly. This phenomenonis known as tolerance stacking. However, the implementation of a proactive plan to avoidproduction issues caused by assemblies which are out of tolerance due to tolerance stacking isnot as straight forward to understand because the effects of tolerance staking are a

The purpose is to share the lessonslearned from this program development with others in the engineering education and technologyspace as a joint learning exercise.Research – Program RationaleWith the current resurgence of manufacturing, the largest economic sector in the region, today’sneed for technical talent has outpaced Ohio State’s ability to provide enough students to meetworkforce demands.

enables all these sectors to respond todemand fluctuations. It encompasses two subsystems; one is inventory planning and control andthe other is material handling 1. The inventory planning subsystem is concerned with buildingorders for the suppliers and dispatching materials to the customer wherein material handling ismore involved with transferring the goods inside the warehouse. There are different functionslike labeling, breaking bulk, light assembly, order entry and fulfillment, packaging, pick andpack, and transportation arrangement necessary to carry out material handling activities 2. Allthese operations are cost intensive; the most expensive is the pick and pack process whichgenerally constitutes about 50%-75% of the total warehousing
) Bulkhead redesignAs a prerequisite, students entering this course are required to have basic knowledge ofengineering graphics such as geometry construction, orthographic and isometricprojections, and dimensioning. In this module, students are introduced to the AutodeskInventor 3D modeling tool. Fundamental operations such as creating project space andstarting new model files in correct types and units, software environment including workfeatures (plan, axis, point, and UCS) and constraints, and 2D sketch as well as 3Dmodeling tools including extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, fillet/chamfer, emboss, rib,pattern, and mirror, etc. are discussed in detail in class. The goal is to modify thegeometric features of the bulkhead so that the latest version BBB
automation and the Internet of Things (IoT) are explored. Data were collected atfour different summer camps. In a three year long and NSF funded project, a researchteam of engineers and learning scientists designed four summer camps for middle gradestudents and implemented them in two different cities in Texas. At these camps, that eachlasted one week, students planned, designed, and established a “Smart Home” by using3D printers, computer-aided design (CAD) tools, and the IoT technologies. Parents wereinvolved in the summer camp activities at different occasions. For example, parentsbrainstormed with their children and conducted research with them to complete the take-home assignments on engineering concepts and cutting edge technologies

Such a project helped studentspractice and further improve skills related to teamwork, communication, and work planning &management when working with others who do not necessarily “speak” the sametechnical/scientific language.Engineering technology and biology students from the University of Houston-Downtown (UHD)worked together to design and build the fully instrumented and automated aquaponics systemat our university’s sustainability garden. From a team leading viewpoint, biology students definedthe requirements for the aquaponics system while engineering led the activities to design andbuild the system. The developed system allows interested students to

These programs are kept outside the purview of university system.Often they are called Licentiate in Civil Engineering (LCE) or Licentiate in MechanicalEngineering (LME) or licentiate in other disciplines of engineering. A diploma course inengineering involves classes on fundamental engineering concepts. It is a professional course,planned in such a way that students may still take up jobs in the field of engineering once theyearn their diplomas. It can allow them to transfer into the second year of the B.Tech. or B.E.course. This, in effect, means the student may not have to take the eleventh and twelfth classexams. So

It challenges students in many of the same ways thatthey will be challenged upon entering today’s workforce. Perhaps one the best aspects of this isthat it is not an activity that is presented as “now we’re going to do something international.”Instead, it is simply the reality that to be successful on a technical project, and earn the desiredgrade, they will have to navigate working on a team that is international.Basic Description of ArrangementThe University of Dayton and Shanghai Normal University are partners in a unique articulationagreement for the Bachelor of Science in
