An example of a completed linkagedesign including the stationary electrode pair is shown in Fig. 2. Page 12.104.4Requirements and Specifications: 1. The unwelded component will be placed onto the moving platform by a robotic positioner to ensure consistent and proper placement. 2. The platform will continue its motion to bring the weld locations A and B directly under the electrode pair. The platform must dwell for at least 1.5 seconds in this position

Civil Engineers (ASCE) advocates the adoption ofthe Body of Knowledge (BOK) by civil engineering programs, which includes additional “soft”outcomes on public policy and leadership. Specifically, the Civil Engineering Department atLawrence Technological University offers a program in which our graduates have: (a) an ability to apply knowledge and principles of mathematics, science, and engineering in the solution of civil engineering problems (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze data and interpret Page 12.1532.2 results (c) an ability to design a civil engineering system
Ultrasound and Image Processing: To gain anintroduction into BME imaging, the students perform B-mode ultrasound imaging with a singletransducer. The transducer moves along a motorized stage over a phantom, and the motor andthe transducer data (collected via an oscilloscope) are coordinated using LabVIEW.Additionally, transducers having different focal depths are used to collect data so that thestudents can learn the effect of focal depth on the final reconstructed image. This lab not onlyteaches the principles of ultrasound imaging, but also a simple control system in LabVIEW. Thestudents are given a non-functioning version of a LabVIEW interface, and they must add thecomponents necessary for the system to operate correctly. The data are then

We believe the broader and more diverse theportfolio, the better chance we have of getting students to participate.In planning our expansion of programs available to students in the BCoE, we consider thefollowing program attributes from a college of engineering perspective. These attributes becameapparent as we researched other programs to look for ideas and partners. 1. ownership: who has direct responsibility for the program in terms of content, recruiting, logistics, etc. a. internal: college of engineering or department b. external: another unit on campus

13 We believe that our experiences can be useful to several groups. First, our choices ofPSE topics for required and elective courses can be used as a reference by departments indesigning their programs, specifically the required PSE material. Second, departmentsconsidering streams can use the ideas here, for example, the use of course options to strengthen astream, when designing streams in other technical areas. Finally, a few departments will beconsidering a strong undergraduate program in PSE, and the program that we have implementedcan serve as a guide for their decisions.References1.
