Withthis background, they should be able to at least perform a sanity check when new equipment isinstalled in their place of employment. Since 120/240 Volt systems are common, one hour isdevoted to discussion of these types of systems.The final major topic of the course is the PLC. Two weeks was allocated for PLCs, so clearlythe students are not expected to become experts. Since the Allen Bradley PLC 5/30s is used inlab, the material is oriented toward them. The lectures include material covering the history ofPLCs, their advantages over hard-wired relay controls, the hardware components in a PLC, thePLC scan cycle, the most common programming commands
Session 2648 TS/ 4 TRANSMISSION LINE EXPERIMENTS AT LOW COST F. Jalali Electronic Engineering Technology Department Fort Valley State UniversityABSTRACTThe GHz-range equipment and components normally required for the basic experiments intransmission line and microwave topics are expensive and often beyond the budgets of smallprograms. The LC lumped-element transmission line model provides an economicalalternative for such experiments. Appropriate choice of inductance and capacitance values forthe LC sections makes it possible to establish standing waves
beyond the traditional classroom instruction. Kokotsaki et.al. [8] indicate that active student-centered form of instruction leads to student autonomy,constructive investigation, goal-setting collaboration, and enhanced communication skills.Projects like this also address a wider set of learning styles, promotes critical and proactivethinking, and reflection. Mills et. al. [9, 10] argue that the current engineering programs do notprovide sufficient design experience to students. Because of this, graduates often lackcommunication skills and teamwork experience. Engineering programs need to develop moreawareness among students of the social, environmental, economic, and legal issues. These issuesare better addressed in a project-based learning

engineering programs nationwide are firstexposed to solid modeling technology during their first year in the engineeringcurriculum. At VMI, the introductory materials science course follows the solid modelingcourse during the first semester of students’ second year in the mechanical engineeringprogram. It was felt that since the materials science course followed immediately after thesolid modeling course, students would still retain enough knowledge of solid modeling touse it effectively in the materials course. Pedagogically, this sequence has the advantagethat material science concepts are strengthened, while at the same time solid modelingskills are rehearsed and refreshed, aiding in their long term retention.
