They may also be computer or internet programming tasks, or evenstatistical studies of product and process performance or reliability. They may include computeraided design (CAD), drafting or engineering analysis (FEA), and perhaps even physicalprototypes or simulations. Investigations into energy management and conservation are alsoproject opportunities, as would be other studies similar in scope.ET Staffing: Fifty percent of the ET student body consists of sophomore and junior-levelstudents. Every person in an ET curriculum already possesses a combination of mastered andevolving engineering skills. The key to a successful project outcome

The coursematerials presented in this paper start with introducing students to a working product andthen challenge them with problems requiring the redesign of components. Subsequently,various manufacturing methods, techniques, processes, and equipment are discussed indetail so that students can prototype these newly designed components in the laboratories.As part of the curriculum of an Engineering Technology program, these courses aim atdeveloping students' ability to work in collaborative groups to apply engineering andtechnology knowledge to solve real-world technical problems requiring the application ofpractical procedures and methods.The Design and Prototyping is an introductory manufacturing processes

Inquiry-based projects are beneficial because they require a significant investment ofstudent time and effort over an extended period with frequent constructive feedback from facultyand regular opportunities for reflection [4, 5].

When such obstacles aredetected, the vehicle’s programming instructs it to cease movement, back-up as necessary, andoverride and disregard the user’s instruction that would point it toward harm’s way. Where adirected path is deemed hospitable, the vehicle follows the preprogramed instructionunconditionally. The vehicle utilizes a Parallax Boe-Bot kit[1] chassis while the information processing andmovement program is run through an Arduino Mega board; these separate components are joinedvia a fiberglass platform which also

IntroductionFPGA-based re-programmable logic design became more attractive during the last decade, and theuse of FPGA in digital logic design is increasing rapidly. The need for highly qualified FPGAdesigners is increasing at a fast rate. To respond to the industry needs of FPGA designers,universities are updating their curriculum with courses in FPGA logic design. As a result, theSchool of Technology at Michigan Technological University is stepping up to this challenge byintroducing the FPGA course. The new course will be the second in series of digital logic design, itintroduces the fundamental basic concepts of hardware description language (HDL). The coursecovers the FPGA design flow utilizing XILINX ISE webPACK FPGA design tools integrated

This paper, therefore, is an attempt to discuss the problem of safety as related tostudent-led engineering projects and propose a plan that addresses the areas of concern.The Engineering Technology department takes pride in the amount of hands-on learning itsstudents receive as a part of the curriculum.

Our software acquisitionsmust compliment the curriculum, integrate with the technical capacity of the institution, andprovide sufficient challenge to students, all the while reflecting current industry standards. Weare thus presented with a shared dilemma: how do both educators and industry decide whichsoftware application(s) to acquire?Software acquisition and adaptation decisions often involve comparing alternatives of severalcriteria. However, the end users of the software systems may not necessarily be familiar with theoverall decision-making criteria. To address this
