photolithographic techniques. The development of this projectwould enable students to gain similar experience on photolithography with equipment that costsmuch less. The polymer waveguide fabrication technique demonstrated in this paper could also beadopted by other engineering technology programs for courses in manufacturing, semiconductors,and microfabrication. The theory behind the polymer waveguide formation, i.e. LDW,introduced in this paper is identical to that of the photolithography technique. The waveguidefabrication processes (spin coating, photo resist developing, etc.) are the same for bothapproaches. We demonstrate that with the alternate and inexpensive approach of the LDW, thesame quality level of student learning on integrated waveguide

for a process control course in electricalengineering technology. In general, this course provides an overview of process controlprinciples and practices. Topics include analog and digital signal conditioning, temperaturesensors, mechanical sensors, optical sensors, final control, discrete-state process control, andproportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. We devote more time to the study of the PIDcontroller in particular because there are so many applications in various industries. For example,power plants need a PID controller to obtain desired control performances. However, teachingmere theoretical concepts to students is often challenging because such concepts require teachingadvanced mathematics that is difficult to

Students were able to make an animation of the tiger robot byintegrating a motion from the electrical motor to the motion of gear redactor in a tiger box. Thiswas done by using the polar coordinate system, an axis which both electrical motor and a gearshare, as well as by defining an assembly parameter between two planes – one plane at the

Antsaklis1 have addressed general questions, such as controlchallenges in the new millennium. Those works are based on discussions performed by controlcommunities, arising as relevant consolidated opinions based on individual experiences. At thesame time, other works, as Kheir7 and Heck2, approach control education, with many scenariosbased on technological learning process. The main purpose of this paper is to broaden the scopeof the discussion and get the ET educators involved in it. Therefore, in the next sections, anattempt is made to analyze the role of a classic control course in an ET curriculum. The questionthat needs to be addressed is whether or not a control course is an essential part of an ETcurriculum and if yes what are the
