,where the traditional 18-week course is split into three one-credit hour 6-week modules. Withthis separation, different disciplines are able to build their curriculum to the needs of theirstudents. The first two courses (ENGR 2431: DC Circuits and ENGR 2531: AC Circuits)primarily cover topics that non-majors are required to know for the FE exam. The final 6-weekcourse (ENGR 3431: Electromechanical Systems) includes advanced topics not typically taughtin an introductory circuits course, such as LabView programming, digital logic, computercommunications, sensors, and motors. To provide a more practical and hands-on approach to thestructure of ENGR 3431 a robotics project was implemented in the Spring 2011 semester. Thispaper focuses primarily on

Program Elisha Clark Halpin is an Associate Professor and Head of Dance at Penn State. She is the artistic director of ETCH Dance Co. Her choreographic investigations concentrate on the body as text: using autobiog- raphy, ethnicity, and identity as ways to generate movement, develop context, and construct metaphors in contemporary dance. Elisha was an Emerging Choreographer at the Bates Dance Festival. Her work, How Frail the Human Heart, was awarded ”Best Dance” at the 2010 Capital Fringe Festival. Her latest work, the sky is empty, was commissioned by Dance New Amsterdam. Elisha graduated with an M.F.A in performance and choreography from The Ohio State University and a B.F.A in dance and theatre from the

electroosmosis isequation; the Hemoltz-Schmulowski, Henry, and Huckel equations; decoupling electrophoreticmobility and hydrodynamic fluxes; and the principle of electroosmotic microfluidic pumping.“Lecture 3: Dielectrophoresis” expanded this focus with particle assembly and crystallizationunder AC electric fields, the advantages of AC over DC electric fields, the Clausius-Mossottiequation for dielectrophoretic force, and particle chaining force. Finally, the fourth lecture,“Electrokinetics in Microfluidics”, provided a comparison of electroosmotic microfluidicpumping with pumping and valving by MEMS and pumping by passive valves. It also includedon-chip function of electrophoretic separations in microchannels.Laboratory Module IV: Effect of Ionic
