Session 011 Integrated Circuit Design and Layout For a Random Sequence Counter Using L-EDIT By: Keyonn L. Pope Electrical Engineering Department Southern University and A&M College Baton Rouge, LA. 70813 KLP1015@AOL.COMAbstractAnalysis and design of integrated circuits for a random sequence counter is realized usingPSPICE and L-EDIT. The project exposes the designer to the rigors associated withdesigning of integrated circuits and familiarizes him/her with contemporary methods ofdesigning. The project enhances
as a customer for their designs. For the nursing students, with practical training andexperience in various hospital environments including some ER, this provided an opportunity tovalue observation of details and articulate the need for a functional ER room to the engineers.Extra credit was given for features that addressed COVID-19.1. Value of collaborative projectsThe benefits of collaborative multidisciplinary projects are well known. They enhance theability of students to communicate across disciplinary lines. Students may also learn how tolisten to a customer and develop ideas based on incomplete information. Typicallymultidisciplinary projects involve students from different fields of engineering. For this project,engineering students
of enhancing learningthrough service learning activities. The initial motivation for increasing student engagement inthe industrial engineering program was to satisfy the criteria for accrediting engineeringprograms by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. The more recentdevelopment is the establishment of PACCE at UW-Platteville. The paper presents a summary ofPACCE service learning projects and student reflections. INTRODUCTION TO IE PROGRAM AT UW-PLATTEVILLE The College of Engineering, Mathematics, and Science consists of seven departments:Chemistry and Engineering Physics, Mathematics, Civil and Environmental Engineering,Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Software Engineering, General

ExperiencesAuthenticity [1] is a goal for many instructors when developing design experiences for first yearengineering students. Some of the perception of authenticity comes through the clients, eitherreal or imagined, with real clients having an understandable advantage in this perception. For thisreason, many institutions pull in industry partners looking to solve real world problems.However, for smaller classes of first year students, it can be difficult to draw in industry partners.In such cases, instructors may instead look to service learning opportunities [2], partnering withlocal community members as clients. In this paper, the author discusses one such partnership andtakes a five-year retrospective look at the projects and the process used from the

(ECU)developed a modular Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) course to deliver the Six Sigma body ofknowledge to customers. Since the Six Sigma process is also used in the development of finalproducts in manufacturing, it is anticipated that other researchers and academicians will benefitfrom the lessons learned in creating this training product.OverviewOnce the need for the modular Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) course was determined, the DMAICprocess most often used for Six Sigma projects was deployed. Tollgates to move from one phase ofthe process to another were utilized in managing the project. This process helped ensure that aneed to backtrack did not occur. The body of this paper describes each phase of the DMAICprocess along with an overview of
applied and leveraged to enhance the capstone experience thatentails industry sponsored design and build style projects. The ability to comfortably interactwith professionals in an industrial environment, manage projects entailing interactions withother portions of the business outside of engineering such as purchasing, skilled trades,marketing, sales and others allows a wide variety of challenging projects to be considered for thecapstone design course. Frequently capstone projects are proposed by companies that currentlyhave one or more co-op students. If appropriate, the co-op student acts as the point of contactbetween the student team and the industry sponsor. This minimizes the amount ofmiscommunication and also allows faster turn-around

involved in the learning process taking place inthe classroom, as opposed to the teacher centric traditional lectures. Engineering faculty havelong been using such approaches in many of our courses, for example in courses which includeexperimental laboratories and projects. This initiative has prompted us to focus more consciouslyon the effect of teaching on, and the assessment of student learning. This paper will discuss avariety of design projects we are using throughout the curriculum in the Mechanical Engineeringprogram before the Senior Design Project, how they fit with the Learner Centered Instructioninitiative, as well as how they support the Program Outcomes and Program EducationalObjectives of our ABET accredited program.Projects from

in a manner to maximize student learning and satisfaction. A designcourse sequence presents many significant challenges related to both technical contentand "people issues." The manner in which these have been dealt with effectively in theBME 455 - 469 course sequence is detailed below.Course ObjectivesThe objective of the BME design course sequence is for students to learn essential designmethods and skills and to be able to function efficiently and effectively as individuals andas members of design teams. Specifically, students must be able to perform acomprehensive project literature review including a patent survey, and they mustformulate product design objectives and specifications and develop design alternatives.Students must be able
to provide valuable real project workexperiences to students, while allowing professionals to obtain specific limited services atsubstantially reduced costs, while freeing their staff to perform more complex activities in theoffice. The ARA Program was designed to provide a wide range of services to localprofessionals and businesses in the region. Anticipated services that will be available include;architectural design and drafting, graphic services, existing conditions drawings for buildingrenovations, "as-built" drawings for completed projects, and product research. These servicesare intended to provide assistance in short duration projects, under the direct supervision ofarchitects, professional engineers and industrial managers.As

Fronczak and Webster2 and Thompkins3 describe a sequence of sixdesign courses that biomedical engineering students start taking during their first semestersophomore year and finish in their last semester senior year. This design course sequence isintended to provide the students a sustained opportunity to develop their creativity and judgment.Sheppard and Gallois4 describe a “design spine” of eight design courses that run through all eightsemesters of a student’s education. The goal of these eight courses is to achieve greaterintegration of design with the science and engineering science courses. Brousseau, etal5,describes a similar

partnerships could be through sponsoredcapstone projects for engineering technology programs or other technology programs that requireculminating experience by its students.Numerous articles described the benefit of industry sponsored (funded or unfunded) projects thatsometimes actively involves industry professionals. Goldberg et al. (2014) described howindustry involvement in a multidisciplinary design course benefited both students as well asindustry participants. In addition, such involvement by the industry professionals makes thecurriculum current and relevant to the discipline [2]. Weissbach, et al.
