The goal ofthe activity would be to bolster the student’s confidence in locating relevant standards whenfacing a similar information need.There are several ways to approach the problem. All workshop participants would be remindedthat standards are often considered “gray literature” which means that they can be hard todiscover often owing to poor bibliographic control. The discoverability of standards hasimproved with the advent of new search tools, but the digital information landscape that has Proceedings of the 2024 ASEE North Central Section Conference Copyright © 2024, American Society for Engineering Education

MET curriculum. Rather than the BC and MET departments addressing the shortcomings of their new programs on anindividual basis, a cooperative effort could take full advantage of each department’s strengths. BC studentscould benefit from MET expertise in mechanical systems such as pumps, fans, boilers, or heat exchangers.MET students could benefit from BC expertise in building codes, estimating, and project scheduling. Acooperative approach could also ease class scheduling or budgeting problems that can occur if only a smallnumber of students from a single department take a class as a technical elective.COURSE OVERVIEW As a first step in the collaboration, BC students are enrolling in a new version of the MET AirConditioning and

In order to make the CNCcode more universally applicable, a post-processor has been written as a stand-alone program.The program not only converts the current CNC code to operate other machine tools, but alsoallows the addition of machine tool functions that are not included in the existing CNC code.This will allow engineering technology students to use a variety of CNC milling machines thathave recently been, and may at some future time be, installed at Buffalo State College.The program was written in Visual Basic to run under the Microsoft Windows environment, andhence on any PC platform. Modules have been written for existing CNC milling machines. Themodules allow for capabilities of new machines to be added above and beyond

appropriate or sufficient industry experience prior to graduation. Analternative approach is the co-operative education (co-op) model in which students spend severalperiods of up to 6 months in an industry placement during their studies. This extends the degreeprogram to 5 years. The placement is not linked directly to the program of formal study. Only alimited number of engineering schools offer co-op programs in Australia.The challenge was to see if it was possible to develop a new type of program that could providestudents with industry experience in a meaningful way that helped to develop the broadergraduate attributes without extending the length of the program.

The instructor could also usevideos or demos in the classroom. The return of such effort could be limited. Students were mostlypassive participants. The work presented in this paper, and the work by many others, suggested adifferent approach of letting students design their own labs and projects to improve studentlearning.In this approach, many have tried successfully in the past.
