Before the start of the grant, there were small, adhoc, often accreditation related, conversations about course content. Ideally, we hope to establisha systematic schedule for classroom visits, curriculum conversation meetings, quantitativeassessment of student transfer of knowledge, and qualitative assessment of faculty and studentattitudes of preparedness. After the initial outreach to all the partner disciplines, the team decidedto start small, concentrating on the Differential Equations course, which is comprised of 75-80%engineering students (98

so that groups of students who need to know a particular skill to complete theirprojects could acquire these skills in a just-in-time (JiT) learning mode. However, some seniorsare still acquiring particular necessary skills even after taking five semesters of design. Thislearning curve sometimes hinders progress on developing these valuable designs and performingsubsequent testing. These sessions have also become inadequate, as the student enrollment has Page 24.1331.4grown.

Inthis paper, we describe a framework for teaching enterprise decision-making, and examine thevalue of incorporating a hands-on module using the Oracle E-business Suite in a productionplanning and control course. We developed task-specific measures of student achievement andself-efficacy to examine learning, and found that use of the ERP-based modules improvedstudents’ confidence in their knowledge of ERP-based systems as well as traditional productionplanning and control topics.1.

The students were inspired by the versatility andease of use and were motivated to learn LabView on their own. Their enthusiasm resulted infunding from the College of Engineering and the Student Government Association to obtain dataacquisition hardware and a College-wide license for LabView. As a result, a dedicated course in Page 15.145.9LabView and virtual instrumentation has been developed and added to the ECE curriculum as adually-listed senior/graduate technical elective.

The curriculum was designed to reflect that assumed bias and the teaching methodsmust follow suit.As such the ESIM program will specialize in a pedagogy that combines lecture and concepttransfer with case and use-case discussion and analysis. Concept transfer is considered to be anessential component of the system-theoretic curriculum. That is, learning to think in terms ofenterprise systems has required the attending faculty to develop concepts and terms that are newto the holistic understanding of the enterprise. These concepts (vocabulary) comprise theparadigm shifting perspective of the general systems framework. Students must become familiarwith the vocabulary of systems theory

Therefore, various assignments using thoseinput/output (I/O) devices could be given to students to develop ladder logic diagrams. But moredynamic applications with motion control components are necessary to train students to preparefor the real world. The proposed motion control teaching components consist of a humanmachine interface (HMI) terminal, a commercial industrial control trainer (ICT), a stepper motordrive and an ac servo motor drive. For the first exercise, the lesson on the PanelView HMIterminal from Rockwell Automation is given to the class. The students will
