Processing has become standard in many Electrical and ComputerEngineering curricula. As with other topics, the learning process is greatly enhanced whenlaboratory experiments accompany material being presented in the lecture. Many universitiesare therefore adding a real-time DSP lab to accompany the DSP lecture. The DSP lab at SouthernUniversity has been in the curriculum for over ten years. The laboratory has been taught usingTexas Instruments TMS320C25, C31, and C6211 DSPs, and with the Motorola DSP56000 DSP. The TI C6713 is the latest and most advanced TI DSP. We have upgraded our laboratory withtwenty of the C6713 DSKs. TI has a very viable University Relations Program and isaggressively promoting the C6713 DSK. As a result, a number of

The FANUC robotics platform isdesigned as a user-friendly, adaptable solution [2].The Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) Department currently has a strong curriculum inrobotics training, specifically on the FANUC platform. Due to the greater push for robotics inindustry and automation processes, the department has increased its focus on these areas. Theproject required by the Material Science Department provides an excellent opportunity forstudents in the Senior Design program to implement their skills in a highly relatable way.Required with the project calls for making an analysis of the physical dimensions of thelaboratory to decide where the best location to place the robot would be.

This enables electrical,mechanical and chemical engineering students to learn the fundamental theory and physicalimplementation of various types of control systems. The first four experiments deal withdifferent first order systems and emphasize their mathematical equivalence.

consensus that the decision to enter engineering occurs during highschool or early college, while the decision not to enter engineering occurs in the sixth to eighthgrades. Without effective outreach at this early level, the US will fall behind other developedcountries such as China and possibly India [2-5].The lack of effective outreach combined with the public’s limited perception of technology asbeing only “computers and matters related to the internet” [6] means that students will not beintroduced to engineering and design at an early enough age. Pre-engineering is not a subject onits own in public schools; however science, technology, and pre-engineering go hand-in-hand [7].Therefore, engineers must place outreach programs in existing subjects
