the next two experiments. The last four experiments deal withreal systems like an engine, helicopter, ball and beam and an anti-lock brake system. Details ofan experiment on a first order system are given.Introduction The control systems laboratory is an integrated effort by the Faculty of Engineering atRowan University to configure a novel hands-on method of teaching Control Systems from amultidisciplinary point of view. The Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering programsare joining together to achieve this. Although Control is an interdisciplinary technology, there hashistorically been a tendency for the different engineering departments to teach the subject fromtheir very own somewhat narrow perspective without any semblance
remainder of the term, studentinquiries on how to complete the project drives the class activities (e.g., short lectures or classdiscussions or group exercises). In essence, the syllabus for the course was an evolving documentdriven by student curiosity, thereby helping to prepare the students for life-long learning.Environmental issues are not usually “cut and dry” problems with simple answers; rather, theseissues are interconnected with many other aspects, including technological and economicconstraints. An opportunity to debate these issues, exchanging knowledge and points-of-view onthe repercussions of various engineering technologies and design choices, is a valuable additionto the engineering curriculum. The new course enriches the graduate
Programmable Logic Controller Teaching Method by Wm. Ted Evans Engineering Technology College of Engineering U of Toledo Toledo, OhioAbstract:Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's) have been found in industry since the early1970's. The application of PLC's has long been considered a required course for majorsin Electrical Engineering Technology. Course content has traditionally centered onhardware with labs giving some programming experience. It is proposed that theeducation process for teaching PLCs should concentrate on programming from
inspection processes. GD&T and three-dimensional modeling both dependheavily on the use of datum planes and axes. By requiring students to be consistent in theapplication of datum planes/axes and location dimensions, the instructor emphasizes theimportance of capturing design intent (manufacturing intent) in the model thus further enhancingthe students understanding of the impact of design on manufacturing.This paper discusses the importance of three dimensional-modeling and geometric dimensioningas they relate to manufacturing and outlines a two-semester course sequence for presenting thismaterial in a Manufacturing Engineering Technology curriculum.A Need to Follow the Change in Communication ModelsA survey by Clark and Scale of North Carolina

pandemic, the comments about the class havebeen insightful. Because the topics are things that have not been broached before, the classbecomes unique and many students comment on how relaxing many of the assignments are. Thevariety/out of the box nature of the assignments let students heavily involved with technicalengineering find a moment to simply relax. The lack of pressure provides a little light in the longdays of being trapped in one location. This one focus will be another aspect to investigatefurther. Investigating how the students need courses that allow relaxation in our curriculum willbe appropriate study to follow.BibliographyABET web site, Accrediting Board for Engineering and Technology, www.abet.orgAtman, Cynthia J., Sheri D

Industry advisory boards, employersurveys, and consulting subject matter experts are a few examples of this type of informationsharing.In this same vein, during my days in industry, I have found that many practicing engineers lookto academia as early adopters of the latest and greatest methodologies and technologies. Manyengineers view the academics with a sense that they are the ones doing truly advanced researchthat is out of the grasp of the more practically minded industry engineers.
