. 3.7SummaryFour free-vibration experiments are described in this paper intended to use in an upper-levellaboratory to study engineering vibrations. The unique aspect of these experiments is that it is ahybrid of a turn-key educational hardware and measurement systems that are often used inresearch labs and industry. One apparatus is the ecp model 210 and the other is the ecp model205. The former provides translational vibration and the later provides rotational vibration.One, two, or three degrees of freedom can be easily setup. Also, it is easy to change keyparameters of mass, stiffness, damping, and inertia. The optical sensors provided by ecp aredisconnected and replaced with PCB uniaxial accelerometers. The PC hardware and software forthe turn-key

consider far more than just the engineer in the product design and developmentprocess. All those who help to shape the decision-making are part of the ethics of design.Finally, we view design as essentially an ethical process already, and the curriculum is notintended to add ethics to that which is only technical. For example, the role of the market andprofit is an ethical system and not its antithesis. To assume otherwise is to close down debate,and to do so on false grounds. This curriculum is intended to expand the ethical imagination, tounderstand and to develop alternative ethical perspectives and the tradeoffs among them. Thecurriculum should help students look upstream and downstream in the transformations of aproduct life cycle. It should

The students will work from a prepared set of lessonplans, and produce CAD parts, assemblies, and drawings over the course of the semester.One thing that makes the PLM software unique is that the CAD system is only a part ofthe overall product.

ConclusionAn iLab has been developed and deployed at Obafemi Awolowo University to allow studentscarry out experiments on programmable logic devices. The lab is built around an Altera DE1development board and uses a Java applet client. The lab has been tested and has been used ina credit-awarding course once. From the positive responses of the initial testers, it is believedthat the system would be very useful in augmenting the digital electronics part of theelectronic and electrical engineering curriculum of the university.Bibliography 1.
