At ECU, student teams are used in a cohort learning environment to build robots.The robot building project serves as a platform for experiential learning in engineeringdisciplines and also serves to develop problem solving skills, interpersonal skills, and ethics. Arobotics competition is embedded into the introductory class work to increase levels ofparticipation, interest and challenge for the freshmen.

Although the typical undergraduate curriculum is crowded enough as it is, and studentshave the ability to learn how to deal with these difficulties through elective courses and graduatestudy, it is important that the students come away knowing that these subtleties exist and thatthere are techniques out there for dealing with them. Much of the advancement taking place incontrols education seeks to address these deficiencies through laboratory work and project-basedlearning.1 2 A specific area of control system design and analysis that even many advanced graduatestudents are unaware of is that of discrete event system (DES) control. Discrete event control isoften confused with digital control. Whereas digital control systems

Since these lecturers haveaccess to medical imaging equipment through their clinical duties and research, the students can havehands-on experience with the machines that they learn about in class. These experiences are facilitatedthrough laboratory experiments using the machines. Because the graduate school campus is located withinthe medical center, it is easy for the students to attend these labs. The key challenges of running this imaging course come from coordinating with the lecturers andmaintaining consistency throughout the course. These challenges are overcome by having a

There are such computer-based tools available for teaching electrical machines, power system analysis, power electronicsor other engineering topics.
