Carolina State UniversityEngineering faculty are often asked to present demonstrations as part of university open housesor as outreach to assorted K-12 groups. Although it’s tempting to resort to the traditional“slime” or acid-base color change demonstrations, Chemical Engineering faculty face a uniquechallenge and opportunity as we seek to distinguish the field of chemical engineering fromchemistry. One way to do this is to emphasize the “process” and “product” nature of the field.This paper spotlights two demonstrations, each of which focuses on consumer products that arefamiliar to every participant: cookies and diapers. In the “cookie” demonstration, participantsgain hands-on experience in production, product/process variability, quality

A common commentwas the need to have more test stations so more students could have their hands on theequipment; we have built 10 new stations to keep the student ratio at 3 per group. The mostoften suggested improvement is that students would like to “make something work” with thecells, rather than doing a paper design. This will be incorporated into the next redesign of thisactivity. Students felt that their skills at using multimeters as well as their spreadsheet skills were Page 8.562.5improved by this lab activity. Our favorite comment was: “Cool lab. More fun than

general education, the focus historically has beenon practical (craft) skills. However, this emphasis has changed in most countries, including theU.S.; traditional school subjects have been replaced with what is generally called “technologyeducation.” The main purpose of technology education is developing technological literacy, butin some cases a vocational element remains. In vocational education the focus has been onpreparing for a career in the trades or in technical areas. This kind of teaching has focused onspecific knowledge and skills. The latest development is that engineering has been accorded amore substantial place in general (technology) education.

The goal of the lab was to illustrate some of the abstract concepts of the courseusing "hands-on” experience. A secondary goal of the lab was to strengthen a student’sunderstanding of Computer Aided Control System Design (CACSD). The second phase of thedevelopment of this lab was to determine and overcome the challenges and barriers ofimplementing the lab remotely.

The course concentrates on real-time concepts central to computer engineering. It is offered as a junior-level course and isrequired for all computer engineering majors.The two major objectives while developing the course were: 1) keep hardware and software costslow so that the course can be offered inexpensively and so that students could do courseassignments in their home/dorm and, 2) use hardware and software similar to that currently beingused in industry. Both of these objectives were achieved by using a standard PC as the hardwareplatform and by using real-time
