Session 3659 A VIRTUAL MANUFACTURING LABORATORY Hugh Jack, Michael Karlesky Padnos School of Engineering Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids, MIABSTRACT: A virtual manufacturing laboratory is currently under development and will be in use bythe summer of 1998. This laboratory allows students to access robots, CNC (ComputerNumerical Control) machines, DAQ (data acquisition) cards and other equipment using theInternet. A standard web browser is used to access the laboratory (www.aml.gvsu.edu). Thestudent can then use virtual reality (VR
the diversity of the student body. For example, engineering studentsdo not need help in computing skills, nor do they need to be seriously instructed in how to study.But engineering technology students may need help in mathematics in their freshman year.Under such circumstances, programs such as Access Plus should be designed to enable studentsto more successfully navigate the academic curriculum. If the goal of increasing the retentionrates, particularly between the freshman and sophomore years, is achieved, the program can beunquestionably considered a success. The Access Plus program at Missouri Western is a success,and continues to show promise in terms of retention. It is also serving as an excellent marketingtool for recruitment. Above
evaluating damages and characterizing the integrity of existing structures in general,and infrastructure in particular [5]. Construction industry has adopted new inspection programs withseveral NDT techniques, many of which initiated in the research units of universities, and were thentransferred to the industry for use and further development. However, in most cases, they did notinfiltrate the classrooms. As a result, engineering graduates are not properly trained to utilize NDTequipments. Other countries have placed a greater emphasis on NDT in their education system [6].Similar efforts exist in the U.S., but are rare. Collins and Alexander [1] indicate that proficiency inNDT is best learned hands-on, as industry has found, where all the variables

Orientation ClassesMurray State University has had some form of fall orientation class for over twenty years. Whilethere have been attempts over the years to standardize the syllabus for this class, it generallyremains under the control of the individual departments. This decentralized arrangement createsa wide range in the quality and content. It also fails to ensure that the orientation class willenhance student knowledge of the university and all students’ capacity during their first year. Nouniform training of orientation class instructors has occurred, nor are there any universalstandards for assuring the value and impact of the orientation class.The orientation classes in the Department of Industrial and Engineering Technology areseparated by

What follows is adiscussion of the sophomore course, an overview of the EFM8BB1, and an example of theproject design based on the EFM8BB1.1.

In addition, these kits are billed asinexpensive, but cost $65 without a return label and $110 with one [8].
