The remainder of the students were either Mechanical Engineering Technology(MCT) or Electronic and Computer Engineering Technology (ECT) majors. Industrial andEnvironmental Safety is taught as an elective course in the Industrial Engineering TechnologyDepartment. The main objectives of the class were for students to be able to identify unsafeconditions, be familiar with pertinent OSHA regulations and understand how to manage safetyissues.In two different exams, students were allowed to prepare a one-page cheat sheet on an A4 paper.Hand or type-written cheat-sheets was not enforced: students were allowed to choose betweenthe two.

in the 21st century. Regional accreditation agencies as well as theAccreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) are highlighting the importance ofassessing student learning outcomes. Problems encountered with early EC2000 assessmentprograms were noted in a study initiated by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers(ASME) titled Initial Assessment of the Impact of ABET/EC2000 Implementation UsingMechanical Engineering Programs as the Pilot Study Group 1. That study lauded the extensiveinitial involvement of faculty in defining educational objectives, and the participation of programAdvisory Boards to name a few. It also noted the shortcomings of certain assessmenttechniques, the failure of initial employer survey methods, and
. “Manufacturing WorkEnvironments”, a graduate course at Grand Valley State University (GVSU) addresses the issuesrelated to work measurement, method improvement, safety, and ergonomic aspects in workdesign. As a practice oriented teaching school, GVSU highly emphasizes the culmination of thelearning process by the realistic execution of the principles and techniques taught in a course. Inthat tradition, this course employed a semester ending project as an important tool to develop theproper understanding of the course materials.This particular project idea involved improving the efficiency, performance and workenvironment at the Science, Technology, and Engineering Preview Summer (STEPS) camp heldat Grand Valley State University.

ABET Accreditation TeamAbstract In early October, a four-person accreditation team, representing the EngineeringAccreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET), visited the new Industrial Engineering Program at Texas A&M University-Commerce(TAMUC). The purpose of their visit was to conduct a first-time program accreditationassessment for the IE Program at TAMUC. In preparation for this significant event in ourprogram’s history, the faculty worked diligently to create and document processes that willcontinue to serve and enhance the educational requirements and professional skill levels of ourIndustrial Engineering (IE) students for years to come. In this context, internal

A year laterafter the website had been redesigned a second usability test was conducted with twoMechanical Engineering majors and three Information Technology majorsFor both test sessions a list of twelve tasks was devised that would cover a variety ofpossible uses of the website. All tasks required the students to search the site for course-related information. One task asked the students to do a calculation using the calculationmodel currently embedded into the site.The results indicate that the participants using the revised site completed the tasks moreefficiently.

integration of Mechanical Engineering withelectronics and intelligent computer control in the design and manufacture of industrial productsand processes.”[1] In some ways, the word “mechatronics” has evolved to become technicaljargon that embodies a new philosophy in engineering technology rather than simply a newtechnology in and of itself.[2] It is clear that Mechatronics is not so much a new branch ofengineering, but rather a new concept that addresses the integration and interaction betweendifferent branches of engineering.[3] In many ways, mechatronics is simply the natural evolutionof modern mechanism design. The burgeoning field of Mechatronics also includes the muchmore familiar field of robotics. A quintessential mechatronic system is one

mechanical and electrical engineering graduates become practicing engineers, many areengaged in industrial automation projects. Knowledge of industrial motion control technology isan absolute must since industrial automation is designed primarily around specialized motioncontrol hardware and software. Industry needs engineers who can do system design andintegration using motion controllers and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) as the primarybuilding blocks for automation/mechatronics applications. They are not expected to designcontrollers, control algorithms or interface electronic circuits at the board level or programmicroprocessors such as Arduino 4,5 . Instead, they need to combine theoretical and practicalknowledge to select industrial
