R&D laboratories that link fundamentaldiscoveries to innovative products and services through applied research.To meet these recommendations, we propose the transition of engineering education to a medicalcenter model that includes the following key elements:  Clinical Experiences at the Post-Baccalaureate Level  Incorporation of Clinical Experiences into Program Learning Outcomes  Appropriate Mix of Research and Clinical Faculty  Industry Ownership of Professional Practice Training  Clinical Sites – industry practice based laboratories, internships, and collaborative researchWe have initiated the first step toward development of a medical center-type model byestablishing a prototype for the practice-based education

been working to build a VoIP telephone system in thetelecommunication laboratories – a new “VoIP initiative” 2. The idea is to use simple strategiesto adapt undergraduate laboratories on computer networks to the teaching of VoIP protocols.New laboratory experiments were created to introduce our junior-level undergraduate students to Page 22.21.3VoIP protocols, such as the session initiation protocol (SIP) and the real-time transport protocol(RTP).However, industry support is essential to the success of this VoIP initiative and the creation ofnew laboratories, in terms of industry - donating equipment, - funding student workers and

generation of engineering faculty that are being trained in ourPFF program will be able to derive maximum benefit from the knowledge base being developedin the engineering education field and perhaps even to contribute to it themselves in the future.Changes in the Undergraduate ExperienceAmong a number of changes in a typical engineering undergraduate curriculum, one that standsout is a focus on undergraduate research. While a senior design project, often with industry input,is a staple of most curricula, laboratory-based research under the guidance of a faculty memberor senior graduate student is now also becoming a popular option, especially for undergraduateswho are identified as good candidates for graduate work. This trend has been found to

was able to assist us. Working closely Page 22.280.3with an active and energetic member of our IAC, this ELET faculty member was able to securePLC equipment valued at approximately $100,000.00 and suitable to begin lab work. As ourPLC laboratory began to take shape, we were also able to secure other units from variousmanufacturers. The demonstrated commitment of the IAC and our industrial partnersencouraged the College to make supplementary purchases of various PLC-enabling software andsupporting programs that would not have occurred otherwise. Today, our PLC laboratory is thebest equipped in our State and the western area of a neighboring

It has dedicated laboratories in the Armstrong Hall of Engineering. In the 2010-2011 academic year, almost 700 students participated on 90 projects , addressing needs rangingfrom data management for human services to creating energy efficient, sustainable home designsfor low income families and from designing learning centers for local museums to developingcustom play environments for children with disabilities. EPICS spans all engineering disciplinesat Purdue and includes students from over 60 majors across the university.Each project involves a team of eight to
