the titles, funding, and rewards revert,rightfully, to the department, not to the ‘green’ program. A specific program to pursue legitimategreen research would likely infringe upon or duplicate efforts by individual departments andtheir faculty. In terms of engineering education, ‘green’ senior design projects are options ineach of the departments.The departments of Biological Systems Engineering, and Materials Science and Engineeringhave recently agreed to jointly oversee the Green Engineering Program. These departments willnot be contributing financially to the program, but will provide what might be described as moralsupport to those faculty contributing to the program.

A fully adaptive controller will then beimplemented using PC Matlab to allow for any of the plant parameters to vary and still maintain asuitable output. This concept is used in our Senior Design Project Course as well as in Master Programin Engineering Technology.The popularity of the PID controller and the increased use of microprocessors has led to a digitalversion of the algorithm for use in computer control applications. The first part of this paper will lookat the output response of the specified plant to a step input. Some of the plant parameters will beadjusted to obtain the best results.

Consequently, insome respects, engineering students have three advisors and mentors rather than one.The current approach of rotating students in Engr101 through the discipline is partially a resultof curricular changes that resulted from establishing the mechanical engineering program in Fall2003. In previous years, some of the time currently devoted to ME was devoted to generalprofessional topics (e.g. project management) in preparation for the design activities in Engr 102.The remaining time was used for more discussion of preceptorial topics- particularly study skills,communication, and teamwork.Although these non-technical skills appear

Because of that, the proper knowledge ofCAD software use is therefore, nevertheless, essential.Additionally, CAD systems constantly evolve, continuously requiring increasingly powerfulcomputers to run. Typically, a CAD laboratory will be dedicated to them with costly computersfeaturing huge amounts of RAM memory, high performance graphical adapters and largescreens. These high performance machines are moreover in great demand by students who areusing them in an increasing variety of course and projects requiring work on the digital mock up.Therefore, time spent by students in front of these computers must be as productive as possiblesuch as to maximize their availability to other students.Clearly

Animportant outcome was that this network technology can significantly improve studentachievement in large classes. CAPA helped students overcome some of the factors thatcontribute to students not achieving their goals, which include deficient preparation and lack ofawareness, misconceptions about physics fundamentals, insufficient mathematical problem-solving skills, excessively demanding and difficult course schedules, students' perceptions of thequality of education, and emotional and physical well being (students who work to pay
