paper is based on the recommendations made by the National Science Foundation andControl Systems Society of IEEE. In light of those recommendations and issues discussed at aNSF/CSS workshop, the author raises the question of appropriate contents for a control systemcourse as taught in a typical first course ET program. Presently, the majority of electrical, somemechanical and almost all electromechanical engineering technology programs have a course intheir curriculum called control systems. Even though they carry the same name, most often theircontents are drastically different. In many programs the focus of the course is on the applicationof typical classical control. There are some programs where the whole course is aboutapplication and

Based upon the TAC of ABET criteria foraccrediting engineering technology programs, the ECET program must satisfy the criteria for bothEET and CMPET programs. Thus networking concepts need to be included in both programoptions.In this paper, several laboratory applications utilizing low-rate wireless personal area network (LR-PAN) technology are presented.
