independent and can be taught in any order. The critical decision in this model is theselection of various faculty members for the individual modules. The content requirement of the modules isleft to the discretion of the individual faculty member. It is then easy to substitute faculty who may makeadjustments to the content of their module as long as it fits into the general module sequence and structure. An example of a course that is structured in this manner is Exploring Technolo~ (ET 100). Thiscourse is offered by the School of Engineering Technology and Mathematics at LSSU to both engineeringand non-engineering majors. The course was developed through the aid of a course and curriculumdevelopment grant from the National Science Foundation

technology is adequate,the course was useful, and that the web was not useless. Furthermore, in the methodology for thepresentations with the audio comments, the students also agreed that the presentations helped inlearning as did the audio comments. Thus we feel that this approach is correct and useful for thestudents.

Session 2520 Computer Integrated Robust 3D Modeling and Analysis: A Required Tool for the Modernization of Design in Curriculum Hamid Khan East Carolina University Greenville, NC 287858 khana@mail.ecu.eduAbstract: Present day industries are specific about the acquired capabilities of DesignStream graduates in engineering technology programs. Their concerns are predicated onthe fact that graduates are not able to produce effective results as designers in their designteams immediately. This lack of effectiveness is
knowledge. This research is a part of a three-year NSF-funded grant entitled “TheSouth-East Advanced Technological Education Consortium, SEATEC.” The consortium is acollaborative effort of five institutions across Tennessee, the main goal of which is to develop apractical approach to curriculum development, delivery, and assessment for engineering andtechnological education. This approach brings real-world problems to the classroom and is hopedto enhance learning and retention in these programs. Five case models that address five differentareas of engineering and technology were developed and are being field-tested. The SEATEC Page

CBT courses incorporate a high level ofstudent involvement and responsibility that is not easily matched in the classroom. Part of thatinvolvement can be attributed to the ability of the student to tailor the course to her specificneeds. Many studies

An excerpt from the departmental mission statement exemplifies the focus: “The mission of the Department of Engineering is to produce, as its graduates, competent engineering practitioners. An engineering practitioner is one who has a foundation of basic science, mathematics, and engineering knowledge, combined with practical knowledge and experience in applying existing technology to contemporary problems.” 5Project based learning was the guiding principle in the development of the EE curriculum.7 Thecurriculum insures that students are involved in project based activities during their entireundergraduate experience. These experiences include lab classes, design classes and classprojects. In addition

Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright 2004, American Society for Engineering Education”I. Introduction Undergraduate research should be an important part of our Engineering Technology (ET)curriculum because it better prepares our students for the graduate school. This additionalexperience also helps our majors in their career regardless of the job type because they learn towork independently as undergraduate researchers. However, it has been our observation that ETstudents are far less motivated to do research and report writing than those in other fields such asBiology, Chemistry and Physics. This is more apparent at Middle Tennessee State University(MTSU) since we have a large number
several domains already. Largecomplex systems are being fitted with appropriate sensors and actuators to enable thistechnology. Manufacturing is one of the early adopters of this technology, but DT are beingsuccessfully implemented in a variety of domains including production systems[1, 2],agricultural systems[3], utility systems [4], healthcare systems [5], and military systems[6].While there are discussions on the use of digital twins in systems engineering [7], there is nocourse or textbook and few instructional materials are available outside of articles about thepromise of the technology or a specific implementation.DT technology is rapidly growing into its own field, straddling data science, computer science,artificial intelligence

These labs are very inexpensive and complement thePLC equipment presently in most automation labs. The labs will demonstrate the basic conceptsof PID and the concept of loop-in-loop control. These labs are currently under development andwill be shared in their early state complete with PLC program and HMI screen. They areextremely low cost and can be used to augment other labs using feedback control.DC Motor Position
