Zorowski North Carolina State UniversityAbstract This paper describes an experiment in delivering a graduate level course in a pseudo–asynchronous manner using modern digital communication technology. The purpose of thiseffort was two-fold. One was to reduce the logistics and increase flexibility in an existingdistance educational delivery system for engineering graduate courses. The second goal was toimprove the efficiency and academic effectiveness of graduate course offerings for both on-campus

include not only problem solvingabilities, mastery of technical skills and the ability to produce innovative technologies, but alsoto have interdisciplinary skills such as, but not limited to, project management, communication,collaboration and life-long learning5. However, traditional lecture-based learning aids almostexclusively in the development of the technical skills. As a consequence, trends in engineeringeducation have surfaced recently that aim at incorporating design and other engineering practiceskills such as teamwork and project management under the supervision of the ABET engineeringcriteria 20006. Based on these trends, project-based learning has been widely adopted as acomplement to traditional lecture-based courses and enhance

compares planning a course with planning a research project. For TheAerospace Institute this analogy has been modified to an analogy between course design andsystems engineering, which is a concept very familiar to its instructors. This paper walksthrough this methodology and offers suggestions for implementation that should be useful in avariety of educational environments. Examples are provided throughout to illustrate theconcepts. INTRODUCTIONThe Aerospace Institute was established in July 1994 to integrate key corporate educationalresources toward The Aerospace Corporation vision to be the world’s leader in space technology,planning and system engineering.

The CIM course is asenior-level design-based course dealing with modern technologies such as automation, digitalcontrollers, programmable logical controllers (PLCs), computer-numerically controlled (CNC)machines, and robotics. The CIM laboratory curriculum includes hands-on experiences withsimple digital controllers, PLCs, CNC mills, and robots. PLCs are industrial grade computersused extensively in automation. In this study, we concentrate on the PLC experience. Laboratoryexercises are developed to enable students to learn and to enhance their problem-solving skillsusing familiar design situations.PLC Module DescriptionSince the

not a growth field, nothing new is being done, and other technology areas are moreexciting. This situation creates a potential for misfortune. An example can be found with thenuclear engineering field. In recent years enrollment has been down as many nuclear programshave closed their doors. At the same time the combination of a retiring nuclear workforce withthe extension of nuclear plant operating licenses and the possibility of future plant constructionleaves the nuclear industry with a potential shortage of qualified applicants for vacant positions.

portion of a mechatronics device intotheir projects.I. IntroductionMechatronic devices and products are characterized by the integration of sensors, actuators andelectronic control technologies in mechanical systems. The result is the potential for enhancedfunctionality and a degree of smartness and adaptability in the mechatronic system. Theunderlying philosophy of mechatronics is to incorporate the aforementioned elements at theonset of design, envisioning optimal functionality of the device in its earliest stages ofdevelopment.A unique program in mechatronics education at the undergraduate level has recently beenimplemented for mechanical engineering students at Kettering University1,2. The need to do sohas been clearly dictated by an emphasis
