circuit using the minimum SOP expression, andminimize the number of SSI or MSI ICs has become less important to current employers.Therefore, concept of simplification should be taught, but the traditional methods may be lessnecessary. This is because development software packages use sophisticated algorithms tomaximize the use of resources in the target device.Therefore, the hours spent teaching Boolean algebra theorems, reducing expressions usingKMAPs, and transforming expressions to use all NAND gates may be better spent on othertopics that impact the practical application of digital systems today.Devices that were developed to achieve these optimization goals of the past are also nowbecoming less relevant to employers.

A transfer function can represent acircuit or a mechanical device. Transfer function-based analysis makes students understand howsystems with mechanical, electrical, and other components can be analyzed and designed.However, teaching control systems to engineering students can be challenging due to theextensive use of mathematical concepts and tools such as Laplace transform, Z transform,differential equations, and difference equations. This challenge is even more serious for ETprograms, since ET students typically prefer hands-on learning and they may not

Some of thesesenior design projects have culminated into the development of automated vision guidedmaterials handling system. As we continue to restructure our curriculum we plan to widen thescope to include more advance applications with vision systems such as robot guidance. Theinclusion of vision systems in the curriculum not only benefits students in the automation coursebut also the knowledge learned in this course is used in other courses such as senior designprojects. We hope that our efforts to restructure the curriculum will continue to produce highquality MET students who are sought after by the regional industry base.Bibliography1. Dechow, D

the samecomponents should have been used (e.g. Experiment 3, using DC motors, and experiments usingincandescent lamps). The motor experiment (# 3) proved troublesome for many students; theyhad to mount two small electric motors to a wood beam, and then couple the motor shaftstogether in a way that was mechanically rigid. Because of the time required to do this properly,many students took more than one lab period to complete the experiment; this meant they had toperform the motor mounting twice, and spend additional time finding the same two numberedmotors out of a large group.During a sabbatical leave in spring 2002, and the following summer, the laboratory project boardshown below in Figure 6 was prototyped, with the assistance of a senior
