Since 1994, he has directed an extensive engineering mentoring-research academic success and professional development (ASAP) program that has served over 500 students. These efforts have been supported by NSF STEP, S-STEM, and CSEM grants as well as industry. Dr. Rodriguez’ research inter- ests include: control of nonlinear distributed parameter, and sampled-data systems; modeling, simulation, animation, and real-time control (MoSART) of Flexible Autonomous Machines operating in an uncertain Environment (FAME); design and control of micro-air vehicles (MAVs), control of bio

part of the Florida Department of Education, Florida has created as Statewide CourseNumbering System (SCNS). This system articulates a common courses numbering system to beused by the colleges and universities in the state. The SCNS specifies the level at which thecourse is taught and the topics covered in each course with the same number. Courses with thesame number are guaranteed to transfer to institutions offering a course with the same coursenumber. According to their website, the SCNS was created in the 1960’s and “is a keycomponent of Florida's K-20 seamless system of articulation. The system provides a database ofpost-secondary courses at public vocational-technical centers, community colleges, universities,and participating nonpublic

The cure for the problem is for the repair technicianto replace the sensor or use the code or codes to troubleshoot the problem and narrow the causeof the problem down to a specific part or system and to replace that part or system (i.e. swap outthe bad part(s)). Unfortunately, if the problem is intermittent or possibly caused by a faultywiring harness or by an evolving mechanical defect, solving the mystery of what is causing theproblem can become extremely vexing.

remained unanswered. Meanwhile technologycontinued to evolve.The department spent these years developing certificate programs and streamlining the programcurriculum. Downward trends in enrollment, shifts in market demographics, and changes in thelocal industry indicated that the traditional two-year program was no longer meeting thecommunity’s needs as well as it had at one time. Enrollment had dropped significantly in the late1990’s to early 2000’s which was due partially to a merger and name change undergone by thecollege during that time. The college, once named State Technical Institute, became SouthwestTennessee Community College and overnight ENTC lost a decades-long reputation for technicaleducation. The name change is considered by some to

These core courses are selected so as to reflect the first twoyears of a four- year engineering program. While this model is certainly reasonable, it does havesome major weaknesses. Many engineering schools have engineering programs in classic areassuch as civil, chemical, electrical and mechanical engineering with a number of courses, inmathematics and science, in common. However, the first two years of an engineering programcan have subtle but significant differences in course requirements that are specific to that major.If the new transfer student stays on track with their initial choice for a major, there is no problem.But, should the

dramatically. In the days of manual testing, data acquisition rates were measured inbytes/s. Subsequent processing was equally manual so the cost was determined bywages and error rates were high. Now, data collection at MByte/s rates is routine andautomated while a system with the functionality shown in figure 2 can be realized for lessthan $10. The whole system can be procured as a turnkey product so it becomes anextended tool for the non-electronics professional running the application. Specialistintervention is needed less often but the counterbalance is that systems are rapidlyincreasing in complexity so there are more varieties of interaction and novel problems.From an educational viewpoint, this means more emphasis on critical thinking

Hence we have identified a specificadvisor in each department to deal with all the transfer students; these advisors are also betterequipped to handle personal/family problems. Other issues are addressed in the successseminar so transfer students are more aware of university procedures and resources.
