The power supplies are 24 VDC, 4.2A power supplies [9]. These are chosen because24VDC is a common voltage level found in industry. The power supplies are paired with apower entry connector so that the trainer case can be plugged into an outlet. There are also somesolid state relays to help manage the current load inside the system. The trainer case will havevarious discrete components including: LEDs, an emergency stop, rocker switch, toggle switchesand pushbuttons [10~13]. These components will be used to simulate basic functions, such

Pressures to“publish or perish,” to assess, document, and improve the outcomes of student learning, and towork collaboratively with industry and institutional counterparts, among other things, may allconspire to place faculty governance activities on the back burner, thus potentially underminingthe intent and effectiveness of this unique, time honored tradition in the academy.This paper defines faculty governance, describes its importance, traces its evolution inengineering and technology, explains its historic, current, and emerging purpose, and discussesits relationship to the broader scope

Redesign of an Embedded System Course for Electrical Engineering Technology Undergraduate ProgramAbstract:With the increasing demand and emerging trend of IOT (Internet of Things) and Industry 4.0,the importance of embedded system is growing rapidly. This dynamic has made it imperativeto redesign a course (junior level undergraduate) on embedded systems in the Electrical andComputer Engineering Technology program of the author’s institution. This paper discusseshow a systems-based approach was adopted to modify and develop new topics related toembedded systems over the last three years.

They emerged as tools ascognitive scientists developed understanding of the way humans learn. The process by whichhumans build knowledge is complex. Humans get input from the environment through theirsenses and store it in their brain for later retrieval. In addition, their brain processes input intoinformation that can be used in different ways and contexts, a process some call understanding.Cognitive scientists believe that each person’s brain organizes input as information in a way that

, students retain only 10 percent of that information. Eventhen, they can rarely apply it to the messy problems of business and life.Learning is something students do. It requires compelling problems and well-designedlaboratories, studios, workshops, and playing spaces. If we refocus our efforts on learning,professors can exploit information technology to provide data, scholarly references, andsimulated problems for cognitive workshops. In those workspaces, student investigators willwork side by side with faculty. Together they will learn to create, evaluate, improve, and applyknowledge. Students will learn to be experts and faculty will sharpen their expertise.Learning Technique Number 2 - Problem Based LearningDutch comments that “the mainstay of

Through the last ten years a slow transformation has begun at more urban academiclocations in which the commuter student has emerged in greater numbers than ever and nowcomprises over 85% of the student population (Horn & Nevill, 2006)4. Why? Some may cite thereasons of cost and convenience with more working adults and those labeled as “non-traditional”students attending college for either the first time or returning once again. Some may alsocomment that it is an easy way for many institutions to expand their programs with very littlefacility or structural cost while meeting those students needs.

fundamental role of an engineering faculty is alsolikely to change. Some of the factors that are bringing about the change are the need to balancethe increasing pressures from shrinking budgets, growing costs, the proliferation of onlineinstruction, competition from schools that offer similar programs, the emergence of for-profitinstitutions, high expectations from students and administration, and other factors. Also,innovation and technological breakthroughs in the 21st century are driving rapid changes in bothengineering content and in modes of content delivery, thus requiring engineering faculty to behighly adaptive to constant changes.
