products that integrate the PLCs with other networks, smartsensors and smart actuators have increased significantly. Courses and laboratoriescovering PLC programming and interfacing started to appear in colleges and universitiesteaching engineering technology programs in the mid 1970s. Today PLC courses and aPLC laboratory are found in almost every engineering technology curriculum. In manyinstitutions, however, the level of PLC technology taught has not progressed beyondsimple discrete control using basic ladder logic programming on a stand-alone PLC.Engineering technology laboratories must include exercises using PLC and smart devicenetworks to prepare graduates to work on the robust automation solutions adopted bymanufacturing.

functions. This project also asks student to, usingcomputer aided manufacturing (CAM) technology, create an NC program, which is used to drivethe machine to move and act as desired. Using CAM to generate NC programming requiresstudents to determine a machining strategy, operation sequence and cutting tools. Students mustalso decide the cutting conditions such as cutting speed, depth of cut, feed rate, and otherparameters for each operation based on knowledge learned in classroom.

, isdescribed along with students’ assessment in the context of their reflections.IntroductionThe integration of community service projects in undergraduate engineering curricula, to provideexperiential learning, has created a great deal of interest among educators in recent years. Tsang(2000) stipulates that the notion of combining service with engineering design projects is notnew considering that many senior design projects have provided assistive technology to meet theneeds of people with disabilities. Tsang (2000) further discusses the many benefits of service-learning, coupled with design-across-the-curriculum, and the significance of integrating design atall stages of a student’s academic development in a meaningful context.

Pisarski University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown ABSTRACT The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (UPJ) is a branch campus of the University ofPittsburgh system. Engineering Technology in three departments--civil, electrical, andmechanical--was commenced in the early 70’s. The BSET degree is offered exclusively on theJohnstown campus. Engineering programs are offered in Pittsburgh. In 1977, a co-op program was implemented on the Johnstown Campus for ET
Educationeducation into the assigned tasks. The developing engineer’s work is generally closely supervisedby other engineers in the group, and he begins to form a set of contacts as technical or professionalresources.The engineer (EN) begins to help direct the tasks of developing engineers, and thus must be ableto efficiently teach them how to do things. Engineers are expected to be more autonomous workersthan developing engineers, with the idea that they can network independently with others to findsolutions to problems as needed. Engineers are often encouraged to continue their formal trainingby pursuing higher degrees and staying current on the latest technological process trends. Theymay also be involved in cross-training to other disciplines.The
