Many Electrical Engineering Technology graduates are employed by automationcompanies where they are required to develop solutions to computer-based automatic controlproblems. Technology program curriculums typically do offer courses that provide significantdepth in solving classical control systems problems, but graduates working in the automationfield still need tools to solve control problems. Fuzzy logic is an effective control tool that can bereadily implemented in a technology program.1 Students with a fuzzy logic background cansolve many control problems as long as they know what the expected behavior is for variousinputs.

Engineering Technology program are required to take at least oneSystems Design course during the last year of their program. As part of the requirement for thiscourse, students are assigned to design a system or systems that require use of the knowledge thatthey have acquired in lower level courses. Sometimes they are assigned a group project if theproject is large enough.The Wheel Balancing Machine design project was assigned, during spring semester of 1991, toone student. He finished most of the mechanical design but did not return back after spring breakto work on manufacturing. The project was assigned to another student, in spring semester of1993, to complete the manufacturing of the project. When the first student returned to school infall

the curriculum and individual courses in engineering and technologyis continuing to be stressed. There has been a realization that design experiences need to bepresented throughout the curriculum, and are very important in the first years of a technicaleducation. Numerous papers have been written and presented on the importance of design andthe importance of including design projects in the curriculum.Upper division courses allow for easier incorporation of design projects because of the maturityand knowledge level of the students. These factors allow for the upper division design experienceto be either very broad integrating many topic areas or very narrowly focused in a specificapplication of a given technology.
