Our RET, Providing a Research Experience and Practicum in Cyber PhysicalSystems (PREP-CPS), aims to build a learning community that includes UTC engineering andengineering education faculty, graduate and undergraduate engineering students, and communitycollege faculty and their students. This learning community is designed to introduce communitycollege faculty to emerging engineering technology and evidence-based ways of applying thattechnology in introductory science and math coursework. The learning community is also a placeto exchange ideas about the learning needs of community college students and the professionallearning experiences sought by community college faculty, as well as research collaborationsbetween

student's academic career fosters early network building and canstrengthen their sense of identity within the major and the university. It's common for alumni tosay that they remain in touch with the friends they met during their undergraduate years incollege. Lastly, all accredited engineering programs must incorporate teamwork into theircurriculum since the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) mandatesunder Criterion 3 that student outcomes include "an ability to function effectively on a teamwhose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment,establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives."

MATLAB commands in conjunctionwith the teaching of the control analysis and design is undertaken in the ‘AppliedAutomatic Controls’ course offered to the Engineering Technology (ET) students at theUniversity of Toledo, Toledo. Due to the limitation of paper space, the discussion in thispaper will be limited to select MATLAB4,5,6,7 commands, and as to how it helps inimparting the mathematical analysis and understanding of the control analysis and design.There exist several difficulties both for students in terms of understanding the controlssubject and for the instructor in imparting the mathematical knowledge required incontrols to make students understand the subject within a semester time-frame. The 30hour time-frame is small for the
competition.But for each of these concerns, technology and its application promises to offer exciting solutions. It willrequire educators to innovate and adapt to changing times. The use of web sites and presentationapplications represent two recent changes that support the online classroom, or near-paperlessinstruction. We use the term near paperless because most engineering instructors use problem-basedassessment and that is difficult to implement online. Thus, tests require paper for students to demonstratetheir work and to receive partial credit. In summary, institutions that capitalize on this paradigm shift willtake advantage of the above opportunities and improve the quality of their educational programs.WebsitesThe educator may choose to use web

Riding trains and busses with Chinese people is educational in and ofitself for students not accustomed to large populated cities. Students were able to visit markets,restaurants, and simply experience very large modern cities. China is rapidly becoming a modernsuperpower in engineering and construction technology. Engineering excellence does not appearto be lacking within China, although construction execution and quality appear to be lessimportant. Finally, urbanization in China is incredible.

curricula has evolved to include instruction in thisfield. Virtually all engineering schools include instruction in computer-aided design to someextent. Design software has become so powerful that a novice can conduct sophisticated analyseswithout knowing very much about the details or limitations of the analysis process.While it is important for engineering schools to educate students about the use of computer-aideddesign tools, they must also ensure that the students have a basic understanding of the underlyingprinciples upon which these computer programs are based. Striking a balance between teachingthe fundamentals and giving the students hands-on experience with the technology continues to bea challenge. The real benefit in introducing the
