Session 2249 Teaching the Significance of Data Correlation in Semiconductor Testing Rainer J. Fink Department of Engineering Technology and Industrial Distribution Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-3367 fink@tamu.eduAbstractTexas A&M University offers a two course sequence in mixed-signal semiconductor testing. Althoughmost educational institutions offer courses in the utilization of electronic devices, very few have the state-of-the-art
and kinetic energy in a simple mechanical system. Laboratoryexperiments help alleviate the difficulties in some cases, but even a lab-based introductorythermal science course in the Mechanical Engineering Technology department at PurdueUniversity does not consistently improve student understanding of the basic principles. Thispaper describes the development and implementation of simple open-ended projects, used inconjunction with the laboratory portion of the course, as a means for increased studentunderstanding. Project topics have ranged from proving basic equations to investigating morecomplex problems, such as the effect of window treatments on cooling requirements or thefeasibility of alternative energy sources.

Internet technologies areinvolved with enormous amounts of intellectual products, including distributedalgorithms, databases, information theories, protocol engineering, software engineering,and more. It is not realistic to expect instructors to convey the broad range of Internetknowledge to students using only traditional classroom interactions; nor for students tolearn to operate, maintain, design and implement sophisticated networking systems.

Each project used a standardkit of equipment to design, build and test a robot that could complete a specific task. Theseprojects, conducted at three overseas locations in foreign languages with local faculty andstudents, were a tremendous success. In this paper, we describe our methodology for integratingmultidisciplinary and multicultural project members on undergraduate project teams andexporting this type of experience to distant locations while minimizing costs.

By havingdirect exposure to the facility the secondary school teachers will have a betterunderstanding of the processes required to develop the fundamental circuits used inmodern technology. This would be transferred to the student at an early age and instill adesire to enter the fields of science and engineering. This workshop will make use of thefacility during the summer months, when historically few engineering students registerfor courses and teachers seek additional education.

Introduction: Most technology-related undergraduate engineering programs struggle with the relentlessand rapid growth of the body of knowledge required by graduates. New technologies, newtechniques, changes in technology price points, new calls for students to master the ethical,social, and political dimensions of engineering and to work in teams, and various other factorsare a constant source of pressure to treat an ever larger array of topics in the curriculum. Yet theamount of time
– Fort Smith (UAFS) is an open admission institution with strongties to local industry; it supports many technology related programs. UAFS in conjunctionwith the University of Arkansas - Fayetteville (UAF) offers bachelor degrees in Electricaland Mechanical Engineering. The Fort Smith campus is responsible for the first two years ofthe degree and additional interactions with senior design students. In this arrangement,UAFS faculty members predominantly teach freshman and sophomore courses which canbring the trappings of monotony and deterioration of instructor’s cutting edge knowledge. Tohelp combat this issue, a sabbatical leave can be used to keep one’s knowledge up to date andbring new perspective to the classroom for both the instructor and

the fire-fighting robot contest. Freshman and sophomore engineer ingmajors at Penn State Abington have used the robot contest as design projects to satisfydesign components of coursework, and as a focus for undergraduate research in the areasof robot navigation and fuzzy logic. Overall, the robot contest has successfully served as a resource for undergraduatedesign, research, and K-12 outreach. Mobile robotics design competitions of this typeencourage creative problem solving, teamwork, project management, research, andpromote interest in careers in science, engineering, and technology. One of the positivefeatures of the Robo-TrailBlazers contest is that participants are encouraged to consider avariety of solution strategies, including

Furthermore,engineering students who choose to work in this exciting field should have enough backgroundin the atmospheric sciences to effectively communicate with the radar system users. Onlythrough such an interdisciplinary approach can true leaps forward in both technology and sciencebe achieved. To guide the development of the team’s university educational radar program [1],the following three overarching goals were created.≠ Provide a comprehensive interdisciplinary education in weather radar at both the undergraduate and graduate levels≠ Provide extensive hands-on experience≠ Combine the talents of faculty members from different departments across
