The relativeenvironmental, health and safety aspects of each particular process was discussed duringthe traditional lecture(s) as well as during an individual lecture prepared specifically onenvironmental, health, and safety issues pertaining to manufacturing. In addition, aneffort was made to emphasize these important issues during the scheduled laboratory timeof the course. Future efforts include

Engineering Technology program (or similarly named) in the USA has atleast one or two required course(s) in embedded system technology. In general, such coursesare offered either at freshman, sophomore and/or junior level. They train the students withtheory and application of embedded systems including how to program a given micro-controller and interface with different peripherals.In the author’s department, there is a sequence of two embedded system courses at the 1xxxand 2xxx level and they are required courses for the Electrical and Computer EngineeringTechnology (ECET) undergraduate program. At the time of writing this paper, the 2xxx levelcourse used a popular microcontroller platform ATMEGA 2560. In addition, the author’sECET program also has

The goals of this course is to give students areal-world experience on FPGA logic design and give them the necessary training with industrywidely used design tools, XILINX ISE webPACK, Xilinx Spartan Family Evaluation board andModelSim simulation tool. On the other hand, the long term goals of this course is to provide alearning opportunity at the School of Technology which will result in a research activities focusedon FPGA and hardware design modeling. This research would provide more in-depth training for Page 12.1357.5senior students.References:[1] N. Alaraje, S. Amos and J. E

cycle, the result is a data error on the bus. Because of the high speeds…of today’s systems, jitter that used to be negligible is now very significant, and can prevent a system from working correctly.1 Today’s designers need the ability to analyze jitter, trace its root cause(s), and mitigate or eliminate the cause(s). In order to effectively analyze jitter, one must understand its nature, the various measurements, how those measurements can be displayed, and the tools used to do the measurement and display. The first section provides a brief review of these jitter topics. For a more detailed discussion, see the first paper in this series and its source references.1 The premise of this series of papers is that it is preferable

At the time,each of the engineering technology programs (civil, electrical, and mechanical) had their ownfreshman course of two credits and didn’t really want to change. This change would add anadditional two credits to the curriculum which, under university guidelines, would mean that twocredits would have to be dropped elsewhere in the curriculum. Additionally, while the Page 11.835.2undergraduate engineering programs were four-year programs, with ninety percent of theirstudents starting as new freshman, the four year engineering technology

However, this grouping has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. STEM had been developed by the National Science Foundation(NSF) to group together these disciplines based on the common use of critical thinking andproblem-solving skills [2, 3]. The disciplines that make up STEM are distinct but linked, withthose in engineering also studying physics, chemistry and other sciences and math being studiedin all disciplines [4].
