process.Introduction The importance of properly tuning the parameters for a PID controller cannot beoveremphasized. Many introductory process control courses stress theoretical features of afeedback controller for many chemical processes [1, 2, and 3]. The strength of a fine-tuned PIDcontroller is well-known even for many non-linear processes. The process of on-off electriccircuit can be easily implemented with an opto-isolator and a Triac so that a 75W lamp can beturned on or off. Triac is a trademark of the General Electric Company for a gate-controlledsemiconductor switch designed for alternating-current power control [4]. With proper selectionof a thermocouple, the process can be a stand-alone closed-loop feedback control system. Usingthis unit

Although the mechanismsoftware behind the original version of ToolTRAIN© is fundamentally unchanged (see Table 1),the goal of ToolTRAIN© Plus was to add motion visualization capabilities. Enhancements inthese two areas should improve student understanding and knowledge retention in addition toimprovement in usability of the courseware. The user interface of ToolTRAIN© is built on theconcept of menu-based interaction. Menu-based interaction is the user interface that presents theuser with a display of options, and the selection of an option may generate a further set ofoptions.6 The

, the output to input ratio can be found and utilized in the closed loop control.The frequency sweeps are necessary to identify the dynamic response of the system. The steady state flight mode allows the user to output a precise step to the servo of a se-lected channel. The steps increase in size in 10% of maximum output incrementally by pilotcontrol. Also, the pilot at startup defines the duration of the steps. The steps begin in one direc-tion and increase to the maximum output, then start again in the opposite direction at 10% andwork up to the maximum again. In the frequency sweep flight mode, the micro controller generates a sinusoid output tothe servo. The sinusoids begin at a low amplitude and frequency, approximately 1/8

During thefirst offering of the mechanical-focused course, students developed PLC projects on paper butthey were not implemented due to the limited availability of supporting hardware. Setupdifficulties, due to attempts at connecting CPUs to PLCs via the campus intranet, limited PLCimplementation until the communication issue was resolved by connecting each PLC directlywith a dedicated CPU.

Bass [16] initiated the body ofresearch of ethics in leadership by expanding upon Burns’ concepts of transformational v.transactional leadership.The leadership program at HMC adopted a collection of leadership competencies. Theysummarize these competencies into the following three domains: (1) Leading yourself, (2)leading others, and (3) leading a cause.
