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

Thehydraulic door closer has rotating parts that can provide a potential mechanical energy source.This energy source is converted appropriately to electrical energy to provide power to a low-power wireless sensor.In the first phase of the project, an appropriate gear set is designed to increase the speed of therotation so that it is able to provide enough rotation speed for the generator. Then a power circuithas been designed to implement and manage energy conversion. This circuit will regulate thevoltage for a wireless sensor node. Before implementation of the experiment, necessarycomputer simulations were conducted. If the sensor node functions appropriately with the

The term groupimplies a somewhat more than a collection of individuals but the team implies much more [2].The curriculum in any specific area of study tends to narrowly focus students on that area,whereas real-world multifaceted systems tend to incorporate components from multipledisciplines. The development of such systems has shifted from designing individual componentsin segregation to working in cross-functional teams that include the variety of proficienciesneeded to design an entire system [1].The counter design provides an opportunity for studentsinterested in electronics, design, application and troubleshooting to combine their interest

Given that approach, several topics are appropriate to work into one or more first-year courses, in order to lay a foundation for a more in-depth treatment in later years. The basis for this discussion will be the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) curriculum at Purdue’s College of Technology.
