students enrolled in the following two existingundergraduate manufacturing courses: (1) Industrial Robotics and Automation and (2) AdvancedMaterial Handling Systems. An array of assignments and projects will be assigned andfacilitated to allow a framework of design that can be researched and presented in these subjectareas.In the Industrial Robotics and Automation course, students are exposed to topics including (a)robot geometry; (b) robot motion and drive systems; (c) motion control, performancespecifications, and precision of movement; (d) robot tooling, sensors and sensing capability; (e)designing for automation process stabilization; and (f) control systems and industrial logic.These topics deal with the study, programmability, and general

fairly popular with the studentsincludes data collection on the time between orders of a fruit cup at a popular on-campus coffeebar. Prior to the exercise, students are asked to review the expectation and distribution modulesand explore distribution shapes via the plotter/calculator. Students are then given basicinformation, a timeline for data collection, and detailed information as to how data is to becollected. Following data collection, students are assigned to informal groups in class and askedto a) determine the underlying distribution and b) determine the parameters for the distribution.This is an enormously tough concept for students and initially, groups are slow to respond.Eventually however, one of the groups will propose a histogram

enrollment in STEM areas has beendeclining; this is particularly true for minority and Appalachian students. This project workedwith two batches of twenty students each. Each batch was organized into four teams of fivestudents. All students were first provided instruction in logic circuits and ladder logic. Ladderlogic circuits for four tasks were created; a) simulation of automatic garage door, b) simulationof four way traffic light, 3) controlling a light via a physical switch, and 4) physical control offive lights. The five lights mimicked traffic lights (red, yellow, yellow left, green, and green left)at an intersection. The students were asked to control the timing sequence of the lights. Uponcompletion of the eight hour lecture/laboratory

career efficacy, as predicted in the fifthhypothesis. Students who had higher satisfaction scores with the course had significantly higherefficacy scores (F = 8.66, p < 0.001). Additionally, satisfaction and career efficacy scores were Page 15.697.6significantly correlated (r = 0.335, p < 0.001). The grade a student received in the introductorycourse also had a significant impact on career efficacy (F = 2.74, p = 0.030). Students whoreceived an “A” in the course had significantly higher efficacy scores than those who received a“B.”Table 5. Impact of Student Satisfaction on Average Career Efficacy Variable Sample
