accept the tuningconstants. Today’s single loop controllers have many features and proper configurationis time consuming for the students and doesn’t enhance student learning. Since there aremany different models of controllers and various other types of systems, it wasdetermined that it would be more efficient to have the instructor set the tuning parametersfor the students. The students are required to determine the appropriate tuning constantsand provide them to the instructor.Future ModificationsThe use of readily available equipment permits further expansion of the project. Severalmagnetic flow meters have been procured which can be used to perform predictivetuning. Further, the water in the vessel can also be controlled for temperature

decided to develop a three-phase system with similarly low voltage andpower levels. Previous success with subfractional-horsepower (<5W) DC motors1 also led theteam of USD engineering faculty to believe that such an effort would be fruitful.Low-voltage three-phase sources generally are not commercially available, nor was it obviouswhere appropriate AC motors could be found. One of the USD faculty team members isengaged in consulting activities centered on environmentally “green” toys. In the course of thatwork, a “mini dynamo massager”2 was dissected and discovered to have a three-phase five-voltgenerator. This generator fulfilled the basic requirements and was chosen as the initial motor forthis project. Unable to find appropriate commercial

The Next Generation Science Standards, which include engineeringdesign learning ideas, are starting to be adopted by states. This research project builds on theSTEM Integration research paradigm, defined as the merging of the disciplines of STEM. Thereare two main types of STEM integration: content integration and context integration. Contentintegration focuses on the merging of the content fields into a single curriculum in order tohighlight "big ideas" from multiple content areas, whereas context

It also amortizes the learning curve required for these tools overseveral semesters, which will be of benefit when they enter the fourth year and are required to doa Capstone design project.

Thisspecific refers to the necessity to have the top face of the beams and the top face of the girders onthe same elevation so that roof deck and floor decks can be placed on them. From the authors’teaching experience, the coping detail in particular, is difficult for students to comprehend from2-D sketches.One way to remedy this problem is to take students to actual construction sites. Although this is agood approach, it is a major challenge to find construction projects that are nearby and installingconnections that coincides with the topic being taught at the time.

This point is reflected in the fact that most works in theliterature address only the technical merits and potential benefits of remote access technologies, Page 14.1209.2rather than addressing the impact of remote experimentation on engineering pedagogy. Clearly, anew fundamentally different approach to remotely-accessible laboratories is required.Recently, a new paradigm for remotely-accessible laboratories, namely the eLaboratory, wasintroduced by the authors5.
