programs in the next two years. Throughpartnership with industry and our advisory boards, several areas were identified for improvementor incorporation into the curriculum. Within the automation course, one major area that wasidentified as either lacking or weak was the applications of machine vision in manufacturing. Asa result this structural reform sought to examine this area critically and incorporate it into thecurriculum. In addition, this restructuring has led to major laboratory developments and tostrengthen the vision area, several state of the art vision systems were acquired throughpartnership with DVTSensorsä. Another major motivation for the curriculum reform activities has been the regionalimpetus. NIU is strategically

In addition, by introducing design as early as possible there is an opportunity topromote early interaction between students and faculty and generate excitement aboutengineering at a time when the curriculum is heavily loaded with basic math and science coursesand relatively little perceived engineering.

casestudies discussed in class. Coverage of treatments is normally presented in terms of the designof medical devices or systems used in patient treatment.Most BME curricula are limited in experience gained in patient observation and diagnosis.However, to meet ABET accreditation requirements all programs must include a “hands-on”laboratory experience with living system elements. A medically relevant experiment set mightrequire the measurement and analysis of bio-electric signals or the use of a signal simulator (e.g.the University of Tennessee’s course BME 430: BME Laboratory). The development of manualdexterity useful to the performance of specific medical procedures is typically not possible in thecontext of a typical undergraduate BME laboratory

Industry needs engineerswho have the understanding of basic manufacturing engineering theory and the ability toapply their knowledge to the real world of manufacturing. Today’s integratedmanufacturing environment requires a work force possessing strong technical and peopleskills. Therefore, the graduates of manufacturing engineering technology programs musthave the knowledge and skills to direct, organize, motivate, and be able to work withtoday’s multicultural workforce. The changes in the manufacturing field created the needto update the Manufacturing Engineering Technology programs. Therefore, to keep upwith these trends and technological developments in the manufacturing fields there is aneed for assessing and

At theundergraduate level, the laboratory is primarily used for soft automation education. That is,teaching how to program computer-controlled equipment such as computer numerical control(CNC) machines, robots, and programmable logic controllers (PLC). However, a soft automationapproach should be coupled with a hard automation learning approach if a full spectrum offactory automation education is desirable. Hard automation is a full or near full scale development of an actual automatedmanufacturing and/or assembly workcell using capital equipment such as CNC

Vision” course, we were designing for a curriculum emphasizing the“pre-imaging” technologies and techniques rather than image-processing techniques as in atraditional computer-science oriented course (which was already being taught at the UGADepartment of Computer Science). We were planning to introduce concepts of appliedspectrometry in order to later develop into a color vision model as an application of multi-spectral imaging instead as a technology mimicking human color vision. We were also lookinginto lighting schemes, both structured and non-structured, and also at real-time image acquisitionmethodologies. Early in the development stage, we realized that we could not adopt the standardmode of laboratory design where groups of 2-3 students

Further insight was gained as to how this material should be presented. In addition to supplying hardware and software, industrial corporate donors also supplied CDs and associated manuals and text materials to help support this instruction effort. 3, 4 Page 7.663.3 Proceedings of the 2002 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference and
