The lab basically includes threemain sessions: (1) four weeks of pneumatic applications, (2) four weeks of pneumaticcomponents, electrical sensors, and ladder diagrams, and (3) five weeks of PLCprogramming using IDEC3 and TRiLOGI4 PLCs. In addition, the simulation software ofAutomation Studio5 is used in each project so that students can check their designs beforeimplementing their projects. Depending on the number of students enrolled in each lab,several small groups are formed so that they

A new model was needed in order to define an ET education that attracts studentswhile meeting the needs of those businesses and industries that hire ET graduates. After ourstudents, graduates, and the Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MET) Industry AdvisoryCommittee were surveyed, a new model was developed. Without going into details of thismodel (a topic for another paper), its key elements provide the following intents for ourgraduates: 1. Fast track to technical project management. 2. High-value specialty knowledge positions (not design engineering positions).Each relevant ET course is being evaluated to see what is needed to

. Because of Rapid Application Development toolsthat have emerged for the software industry, students can develop and deliver an industrial-strength prototype in a short period of time. There are other project-based courses available, buttheir emphasis is traditionally placed on delivering a hardware solution—an approach that forcesstudents to focus on time-consuming hardware development activities.Software projects are different. To be successful, they require a team effort because the overalltask is too large for a single student to complete. But modular software development techniquesallow student teams to create and manage a series of cooperating tasks that must be managed tobe successful. As a result of this requirement, it becomes easy to

high schools. Lack of student interest in technical careers can also beattributed to a lack of an integrated approach in teaching math, science, and technicaleducation. Lack of a strong foundation in math and science at the school level has led to large-scale flight and attrition from STEM-based career tracks in higher education. Engineering andengineering technology programs throughout the nation have observed declining graduationrates and quality of incoming students. To engage students’ interest in a technical career path,students must establish a link between the theoretical knowledge and its application to solvereal-life problems early in their learning experience. Project-based activities have a provenrecord as an instructional tool. The
