Session 0458 Workshop on Web Access to Controls and Measurement Paul I-Hai Lin lin@ipfw.edu Indiana University-Purdue University Fort WayneAbstractThis workshop addresses technological issues in building a Web-based real-time systemfor instrumentation and control applications. A Web-based real-time system, in general,incorporates Internet, Web clients and servers, CGI scripts, and remote access devices.This workshop covers World Wide Web, TCP/IP applications, HTTP (HyperTextTransfer Protocol), Web clients and servers software, HTML (Hypertext
traditional group work, the benefits to students and teachers, and how it fits into thelarger picture of active learning.To Infinitv and Bevond --- Alisha A. Waller and Barbara OldsGiven such a rich history and active present, what does the future hold for ERM? What are thefrontiers of engineering education that are left to be discovered and explored? How can we best Page 2.181.2take advantage of the current changes in engineering education and the technology of the 2 1 stcentury? What additional services should we be providing to the engineering educationalcommunity? Come and explore these questions with ERM - an active, exciting, andadventuresome
of Mechanical Engineering (ME) seniors at Rochester Institute of Technology(RIT). Students commented that more hands on data acquisition and open ended projectsthroughout the curriculum would be extremely valuable in preparation for their capstone seniordesign course.Laboratory courses, which are often used simply to demonstrate theoretical material, are anexcellent opportunity for students to learn and practice problem solving skills. However, we mustmove away from traditional canned experiments, with step by step instructions and knownoutcomes, to open ended experiments that challenge students intellectually and encouragecreativity. This experience is consistent with the Kolby Learning Cycle, 3 which is completed byasking the questions
not been determined. A secondreason that sunflower oil is not now recommended for fuelis its high cost. Engineers at NDSU have initiated enginetesting programs using sunflower oil for fuel., and farmoperators will be advised when results of the tests areavailable. Technology for commercial extraction of oil from seedis well developed. Processes are largely mechanical andinvolve types of equipment familiar to farm people., so on-farm production of the oil is conceivable. A secondsuggested concept is to locate processing plants ascooperative or privately-owned businesses in communitiesclose to the region where the oil will be used. Approachesof this kind would keep transportation problems at aminimum. Most existing oil extraction plants

Using Learning Objectives for Course Design and Curriculum Improvement Donald D. Carpenter Civil Engineering Department Lawrence Technological University, Southfield, MI 48075AbstractLearning Objectives are statements of specific observable actions a student should be able toperform after an established period of time (a lecture, course, or curriculum). LearningObjectives, which are also commonly referred to as Instructional, Teaching, or EducationalObjectives, clarify the expectations of faculty in terms of measurable or observable studentperformance. In other words, these statements describe the ability of
paper.Students like using the laptops in class. The assignments allow them to make connectionsbetween engineering and computer applications. It is not uncommon to hear a student commentthat he/she sees how to apply some of these new computer skills to other courses or to apart-time job. Laptop use in class by students has definitely added to the technological literacyof our students.VII. References1.

Program to StimulateCompetitive Research (EPSCoR) and RU/H institution.The CourseThe course focuses on the fundamentals of the three families of prevailing AM processes:extrusion-based, powder-based, and liquid-based, as well as learning about practical solutions toadditive manufacturing of common engineering materials including polymers, metals and alloys,ceramics, and composites. It has a lecture plus lab format, in that students learn the fundamentalsin a classroom, but then apply and broaden their knowledge in lab projects and independent studies.By the end of the semester, our goal is that students will: • Understand the core concepts and evolving technologies of different additive manufacturing processes. • Create

Students are taught in this course how to design a structure by using reinforcedconcrete. Students are also trained to follow the building code (Code by ACI, AmericanConcrete Institute) into design 11. Because the building code is a very complicated collectionof rules, students are easily
effective examination is to determine the test plan and objectives.The next step is to create the questions. These questions should be reviewed. During and after theexam, observation and feedback should be used to improve future examinations. Examples andtips will be presented throughout this process to illustrate the concepts. Finally, the application ofthis process to an engineering technology course is discussed.Test PlanThe foundation of an effective examination is a test plan containing test objectives organized in ahierarchical manner. Each test objective should have a clear relationship with mastering aparticular topic2. Test objectives may be drawn from course objectives or outcomes. A testobjective should be measurable or observable. The

As a result of this research, NEEDS is experimenting with a variety ofon-line services that can develop and support emerging communities among the faculty who areinterested in interacting with one another in order to better use instructional technology and newpedogogies in their classrooms.In this paper, we discuss research on the potential impact of Web-based learning communitiesfor faculty who are interested in engineering education. This research has been used in the designof the architecture necessary for NEEDS to provide and support this service.I. IntroductionOne result of the exponential growth of the Internet and World Wide Web is that faculty (likeother users) are no longer satisfied with dealing with
preparing them forthe situations they may encounter as officers and as engineers after graduation. Just asany space mission is multi-disciplinary, select students from the Management,Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and PhysicsDepartments; participate with the Astronautical Engineering majors in the program. Thisprogram uses an evolutionary design approach in which cadets employ or refine cutting-edge technologies and procedures developed by their predecessors. Lessons learned arethen captured and help USAFA build a catalog of technical procedures for futuremissions. Because there is almost a 100% turnover every year, documentation is crucialto the success of the program[1].After a brief history of the program, this
