early 1970’s, state budget cuts forced the elimination of funding for instructionalequipment and laboratories. Rapid changes in technology, particularly the growing application ofcomputing, presented challenges to maintain quality in the instructional laboratories in theCollege of Engineering. A funding program in the 1980’s helped to revitalize some of the engineering lab facilities;however, many objectives were unfulfilled. The realization of the importance of computertechnologies by industry prompted significant contributions by technology companies. TheIllinois Society of Professional Engineers promoted the establishment of the Illinois EngineeringEquipment Grant Program for the purchase of lab equipment and other resources. The need

One student termed this “very hard but still the best class I everhad.” The students were extremely satisfied when they performed their first successfulscans.At the end of the semester, all students submitted their lab reports describing their STMsand commenting on the laboratory experience in the course. All student comments werepositive and encouraging. Student course evaluations were administered at the end of thesemester. For this course, the average numerical evaluation was excellent, 4.92 out of 5.Acknowledgement: This project was supported in part by NSF Grant 0407289.References[1] Adams, J. D., Rogers, B. S., and

It had the flavor of a 1960’s “happening”. The present plan is to continue using it, with Page 12.51.10some of the modifications suggested. We are presently considering an addition to illustrateKirchhoff’s voltage law, which we plan to combine with the current law part of the presentexperiment. The RC transient part will then

As of fall ’06, 84.4% of ASU students that had transferred to Georgia Tech since thebeginning of the program in mid-80’s, have either graduated from or are currently enrolled inone of the 5 different engineering majors. The range of the comparable figure denoting thesuccess rate for transfer engineering programs of all other institutions in Georgia is 72% to 92%,which validates the quality of our program. The students complete the core courses inhumanities, mathematics and science as well as some freshman and sophomore level engineeringcourses in order to have a seamless transfer to the junior level at Georgia Tech. As is customaryin most if not all undergraduate engineering programs, ASU also conducts an introductory

The templates for many of the games and quizzespresented on the teaching toolbox site were designed so that they could be used by students withlimited computer skills. The creation of tutorial movies by students in engineering graphics hasbeen successful to the extent that the student materials represent a significant portion of thecourse content. The greatest depth of knowledge achieved by students occurred in areas wherethey created instructional content for others.Bibliography[1] Crown, S., Freeman, R., and Fuentes A.A., “Asynchronous Computer Based Training as a Means of Integratingthe Use of Engineering Software into the Curriculum”, Computer in Education Journal, Vol. XIV No.3, July-September 2004.[2

Some student teams whose members had machineshop experience chose to design and fabricate transducers of other types, such as a C-shapedtransducer which had multiple attachment points to allow its range to be adjusted and an S-shaped transducer which was similar to some commercial designs.The load cell transducers designed by the students must transform externally applied forces intoa measurable voltage. Such transducers consist of a structural frame with several strain gaugesattached. In a common embodiment, shown in Figure 1 below, the
