In the simulation mode the studentsimulates the linear axis system that includes their controller and detailed models of the interfacehardware and linear axis. In the emulation mode, the simulation is performed on the computerhardware that will implement the controller. In the implementation mode, the controller

In this paper, some of the knowledge that has been learned inestablishing such curricular activities in varied educational environments is shared. Inparticular, the following topics are discussed: • The role of and importance of partnerships with engineering and educational technology providers, • The curriculum design process and its relationship to technology development, • Issues related to curriculum design that affect teacher professional development and training, and • The process of community building for

After ten years ofemphasizing writing, at least in the senior year of the ECE curriculum, and in response to theABET 2000 requirement that program outcomes be measured, the department, in 1999, begandeveloping plans to design an assessment process capable of evaluating how well the ECEcurriculum was actually preparing our graduates to write for their future careers. In this paper,we will describe first the series of steps that led to the establishment of the assessment design,then present and discuss our observations from five years of this

The mechanisms proposed toobtain this goal include the development of a number of instructional modules for pre-engineering and science courses that will specifically address many of the barriers encounteredby minority students in these courses.A number of instructional modules are being developed for each of the following college levelcourses, that have been identified as gatekeeper courses for minority students: Calculus, pre-Calculus I, Physics

However, our current curriculum does not provide our students training for these skills.To address this, we initiated a course development project for two new elective courses,Introduction to Microfabrication and Microfluidics Technology and Microfluidics Technologyand Its Applications, along with corresponding hands-on lab sessions in Fall 2010.

First,as with education in other fields, economic factors have led to governmental oversight for publiceducational institutions in order to show taxpayers that funds provided to higher educationimprove student learning [7]. Second, the ABET, Inc. accreditation standards changed to focus onstudent learning outcomes rather than the means and processes used to achieve them [8].

It reflected the belief that faculty needed to experience learning in alearning-centered atmosphere and to practice in their own classrooms with continued supportfrom their peers.

As an engineering curriculum, cyber engineering also requires a variety ofhands-on laboratory-based learning as well.
