Third, input programming languages of these selected tools are introducedto students to help them apply the tools in the laboratory assignments and class project.IntroductionKnowledge of computing and software programming is important to all engineering andtechnology students. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that computing will be one ofthe fastest-growing U.S. job markets in STEM through 2020: about 73% of all new STEM jobswill be computing related 1. More importantly, software development training could be avaluable experience for all engineer students, as it can cultivate student’ problem solving andprocess development capability.However, software programming is often considered to be difficult for engineering
to fulfill this requirement. Students who select newfaculty members as their advisors frequently find themselves in the midst of an on-goingchemical engineering based environmental research project.Since a student’s time allocated for Senior Project is limited to the equivalent of four quarterunits spanning a two quarter sequence, I have developed several procedures to facilitate theassimilation of students under my direction into these on-going projects. These proceduresrepresent a unique combination of bringing research into the classroom, developing appliedresearch skills in both lecture and laboratory courses, interactions with collaborative researchgroups, and individual instruction.The results have been promising with one student going
desiredmicroprocessor/microcontroller is used in the laboratory to introduce the hands-on experience. This well-thought-out course structure has been working really well, and students completing this course usuallyhave the skills to build a small-scale system.Things are starting to change in embedded system design due to field programmable devices. In the olddays, programmable devices were used as glue logic, but their use is no longer limited to this role.Programmable devices have also been benefited from the shrinking of transistors, allowing moreresources to be packed into a programmable device. With the continued increase of usable FPGA gatesand improvement of off-the-shelf soft processor core computer-aided design (CAD) tools, it is nowpossible to teach a

All the subjectareas have grown and new subject areas have been added. Since, there are a limited number ofcourses that can be included in a curriculum model; some of the existing courses will have to bedropped to introduce new ones. As software applications become more complex, more industriesuse high level languages. The
curriculum.2.3 ME 290: 3-D “Integrated Course” in Engineering DesignThe desire to ease the curriculum at USAFA, especially for the 160-semester hour MechanicalEngineers, was the driving force to move CAD back into the sophomore level design course. Adowngrade in software performance was not acceptable and an expansion of the course wasobjectionable. This dilemma birthed a compromise: award an additional credit hour (4 vs. 3) byadding a 2nd hour laboratory to this already time intensive course and teach only the 3-D solid-modeling software (neglecting GD&T) to include drafting and assembly creation. The context ofthe original course could then be used to develop software and design skills concurrently. Due to

It is an essential part of engineering education that teaches by demonstrating the utility ofmany important technical skills such as electronics, communications, controls as well as soft skillssuch as teamwork, leadership, communication, timeliness, economic impacts. The author developeda systems engineering course called, Spacecraft Systems Engineering, to educate the students insystems engineering concepts. This was a multidisciplinary course with electrical engineering andmechanical engineering students. Satellites consist of mechanical, electrical, and computer-relatedcomponents, so the students will naturally learned the multi-disciplinary nature of the engineering.The topics included systems engineering methods & process

Their discussion centered around thecollaboration between STEM and Arts faculty to bring students from different disciplinestogether to work on interdisciplinary projects. Shortly after, the group began to use the name“Co-Lab” for collaborative laboratory. The first project with two students was completed in2009, and since that time, there have been typically three to four projects

The platform is used throughout the course to teach students the basics ofcomputer-based instrumentation and control. During the first five to six weeks of thecourse, students are provided with an introduction to the FieldPoint modules whichteaches them the concepts of computer data acquisition and control. During this firstsection, classroom activities lead the actual laboratory work. In class, the students studydata acquisition/control technology, understand
