The initial controller setting of three keycontroller parameters [proportional gain (KC), integral time constant (τI), and derivative timeconstant (τD)] can be computed using the major tuning approaches such as Ziegler-Nichols,Cohen-Coon and Tyreus-Luyben methods.The robustness of the tuned parameters has been tested for a disturbance in the set point as wellas in the process. Each of these disturbances is illustrated graphically to demonstrate itsperformance. This approach provided students an instant quantitative guideline as to how goodthese tuning methods are for a given

EngineeringStudents were introduced to several issues related to the design of highway intersections. Asimple experiment was done in the class dealing with the issue of how quickly can a group ofcars get started when the light in their direction turns green. The delay time between each carfollows a typical pattern. This pattern is shown as part of the answer to the pre and post test inthe Appendix.RocketryBasic rocketry concepts were presented to the students in the form of a brief lecture. Theconcept of aerodynamic drag was introduced. The students were broken into teams. Each teamwas given a model rocket kit. They had to modify the kit to create the best rocket possible.

There were no laboratories as part of this class, though all the students had anengineering laboratory during their freshmen year in which they had built bridges frompopsicle sticks. This had made them aware of problems in statics in general. All studentshad a common final examination and there was no differentiation in grading for studentswho had challenges in the class.Typically most instructors pick a teaching strategy and continue to use this based onprevious experiences and successes they have had with this approach.

When the need to design stamping tools is confronted, the necessary theory andskills can be attained more quickly through relationships of common facets of machining andstamping.It has also been well established that the maximum transfer of knowledge occurs whenlearning is as close to the real-world application as possible. Learning in-context alsoimplies, however, that we evaluate knowledge and subsequent performance competencythrough means which are consistent with the context, the depth and the rigor we are seeking.Attempts at evaluating candidates (student) performance by applying traditional means fromuniversity

These programsare designed for faculty members who might be lacking practical experience in a particular area.In this case the university pays the faculty member while the business pays the cost to hire guestlecturers to cover the professor’s classes. While rare, this gives the faculty much neededexperience in the private sector and better prepares them for classroom lessons. This approach,while having some obvious benefits, is not widespread and posses many hurdles (such as gettingboth the university administration and business to approve the idea).A more common area for faculty involvement is

The theme of the program is to learn the theory and then put that theory into immediatepractice. Every software course requires programming of some kind. Every hardware courserequires laboratory design which is done either in the hardware lab or on the computer using anelectronic simulator. Furthermore, every professor is encouraged to include a term project inevery course if possible.
