Modeling SystemsThe course begins with modeling of several types of systems including electrical circuits,mechanical translational systems, motors, a robot gripper, an inverted pendulum on a cart, andpitch control for a helicopter using both differential equations and state variable models 2,3.Students have been exposed to system modeling using differential equations and transferfunctions in the pre-requisite courses, but state equations are an entirely new concept. In courseassignments and in lab, students build models of systems in SIMULINK using both transferfunction blocks and state space blocks in order to better understand the similarities between thesesystem models.

A host of examples can be cited showing that many scientists develop passion inmusic, such as Einstein, Planck and Bose. Medical doctors spend pastime in painting; mathematicians andphysicists, like Bertrand Russell and Werner Heisenberg, are good writers; and wartime heroes, such asSimon Bolivar and Winston Churchill, are prolific authors.

Then an audio amplifier (small,low power, with integrated speaker) is used instead of the voltmeter. The student varies thewiper position up and down the length of the rectangular resistor and notes how the soundloudness varies. It turns out that a linear resistor, such as this, makes a poor volume control:most of the variation in sound volume occurs in the very bottom of the wiper's motion, and therest of the wiper motion produces little perceived change in volume. This little experimentenables students to discover the logarithmic response of human hearing."Volume controls are different. The human ear does not respond

Thetopic of service design and development must be viewed as a very important step increating value, delivering satisfaction to the customer and sharpen the competitive edgefor the manufacturers and therefore should become one of the focal points ofundergraduate engineering education.In accordance with the ideas outlined above, a new curriculum is developed to bridge theidentified educational gap by developing and delivering a three credit course called‘Product and Service Design’ in the Summer 2010 term.

The second alternative may seem more difficult to integrate into an existing courseoffering, but will likely provide long-term benefits to both the students and the department.2.1 Integration into Existing CoursesWe use our own Department of Mechanical Engineering (ME) at Virginia Tech as a basis forexploration.

The idea was to not only create a new curriculum of courses, but a “new” andmodern way of presenting the materials in these courses. This was the “birth” of the “Lecture-Laboratory” venue at Northeastern University. This venue allowed students to gain technicalexpertise via standard lectures along with “hands-on” experience during the same class period. Itcalled for the application of the “engineering team” design process to solve design andapplication problems.It was proposed that an Industrial Control Systems program be initiated as the first of theseexperimental courses.

In addition, while improving communication and professional skillsis an integral part of leadership development, much of this skill development is postponed until thecapstone course.41 In capstone courses, students learn and practice how to collaborate with otherstudents and perform in teams.
