Hands-on experiments andreal life projects can be incorporated into the curriculums in order to produce new graduates withadequate knowledge of manufacturing skills. In this paper, we discuss
physical manipulative tools in teaching/learning environmentsLaboratories and visual computer simulations have been found to be effective in helping studentsunderstand abstract concepts (Zacharia & Olympiou, 2011). However, it has been suggested thatvisual simulations alone may not be fully supportive for some students learning these concepts(Chi, 2008). In addition, most of the currently available simulations focus on the sense of sightand hearing, and very little on the sense of touch, which is one of the most common ways forpeople to interact with physical objects (Thurfjell, McLaughlin, Mattsson & Lammertse, 2002;Han & Black, 2011). Moreover, the availability of laboratories and equipment necessary to carryout physical experiments

anew set of PLC trainers that will be used in teaching the course. The paper discusses the rationalfor developing and building the trainers, and how the trainers will facilitate students learning.IntroductionThe curriculum of the Mechatronics Engineering Technology program, offered by the Departmentof Engineering Technology (ET) at Purdue University Northwest (PNW), includes a mandatorycourse on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). The course, which is also mandatory for allElectrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and MechatronicsEngineering Technology students, includes hands-on activities that are necessary for engineeringtechnology students to know, which requires working on a dedicated PLC trainer.

During this time, he progressed from a doctoral entry-level position to manage the day-to-day activities of five direct reports along with the operation of a corporate cell biology research laboratory staffed with ten scientists. He also worked with senior management to propose and develop a cross-Divisional collaboration network to improve communication and eliminate redundancies within the Company’s billion-dollar research and develop- ment (R&D) organization and drive the completion of cross-disciplinary medical device R&D projects critical to products’ commercialization.

teaching methods. This study considers time requirements, conceptualdifficulty of subject matter and scheduling of course tasks (including assignments, tests, exams,laboratories) when analyzing first-year engineering student workload.Research supports active engagement in learning and its role in motivating students [5],particularly to contend with workload challenges. Kember et al. found that perceived workloadis not necessarily an accurate measure of actual workload but that it is a function of individualcharacteristics, approaches to learning, and conceptions of the learning context [6].A heavier workload has been correlated to a more ‘surface approach’ to learning, contrasted witha ‘deep approach’ found to be connected to higher levels of

An analysis of culminating ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission student outcomes is made with reference to Bloom’s 3learning domains and their learning levels. A hypothetical model is presented for this analysis. Thecorrelation of ABET student outcomes, course learning outcomes and performance indicators isclearly outlined. The necessity of the use of performance indicators is highlighted especially inreference to the measurement of course learning outcomes, development of assessments, teachingand learning activities. The importance of scientific constructive alignment of learning outcomes,performance indicators, assessments, teaching and learning strategies is

(2012), most engineering students recognized theimportance of entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship as a “worthwhile career option”(p. 429). Students with entrepreneurial experiences chose “satisfying a need in a market” as atop reason for entering an entrepreneurship career (Duval-Couetil et al., 2012).
