The financial support for buildingthe laboratory came from several sources. The primary support was provided by the MinnesotaCenter for Excellence in Manufacturing & Engineering (MNCEME). Significant funding wasprovided by the College of Science, Engineering and Technology and by the Department ofElectrical and Computer Engineering and Technology. Industry also provided strong support, forexample, the equipment from Rockwell Automation, National Instruments, etc., was giventhrough their education discount program.

Educationgenerated models using lecture and demonstration as their principal mode of instruction. Thischange occurred for many reasons, some of which were the cost of upkeep on laboratories andthe lack of support given to instructors who focused upon the basics of practical engineering.Also, there had been an ongoing change in faculty where instructors of design and applied topicswere replaced with those who were more focused upon basic research of cutting-edgetechnologies while the basic engineering technologies were neglected1. Luckily, UW-Stout wasable to avoid the trend of eliminating laboratories, so we continue to have a strong history ofapplied knowledge in education.

To be considered for accreditation, engineering programsmust prepare graduates for the practice of engineering at a professional level.The major changes in ABET 2000 from previous ABET requirements is contained in theBasic Level Accreditation Criteria1, specifically the first 3 criterion, which are given below Criterion 1.

Session #1432 Rethinking Embedded Microprocessor Education Wayne Wolf Department of Electrical Engineering Princeton University wolf@princeton.edu Abstract This paper considers the changing role of microprocessor-based systems courses in the curriculum and in practice. Advances in microprocessor and VLSI technology have greatly expanded the role of the microprocessor in a variety
machine and product design, the need to have knowledge inthe application of the electronics, sensors, control strategies, computing capabilities andactuating technologies inherent to mechatronics is absolutely critical. The expectations anddemands of today’s consumer clearly dictate that. However, in developing an educationalcomponent of mechatronics at Kettering, it was kept in mind that the rigors of electrical andmechanical engineering education represent only the beginning of the integration ofmechatronics.Undoubtedly, the explosion of mechatronic devices can at least be partially attributed to theplentiful, inexpensive and functional microcontroller. Indeed, in an earlier experiment inmechatronics education at Kettering, a 1994 Buick LeSabre

objects. This mediational role was visible in the teachers’ activity but it couldalso be visible in students’ mathematical activity. Understanding the mediational of VMTwG inlearning mathematics can inform our understanding of how learners interact with othertechnological tools for doing mathematics and how learners build their knowledge using thetools. This understanding can be extended to engineering students. Their learning’ activities canbe mediated epistemically, pragmatically, or pedagogically by technological tools. The differentmediations of tools in students’ learning activity allow us to see clearly how students engage inan activity, which helps educators to support students’ learning
