creative travel considerations can be very effective in keeping costs low. C. Time Many of our technical students participate in career related summer employment or internships. An exchange trip should not intrude excessively into this time. Central Michigan University (CMU) has many different types of international experiences available to the students. They range from yearlong residence programs to one-week visits. The CMU Industrial and Engineering Technology (IET) department has found that their students are most favorably inclined to a three-week experience, maximum. This gives them a solid feel for the culture they are visiting, the visit peaks before getting boring, and it does not consume too much of their summer employment

IntroductionThe course in Programmable Digital Devices covers devices from simple PALs TM (programmable arraylogic)/GALs TM structures to CPLDs(complex PLDs) and FPGAs(field programmable gate arrays). The courseoutline is found in Appendix A. The architecture of the most commonly used chips in each category is coveredso that the student can have a good understanding of the resources available inside of those chips, theirlimitations, and the need for a more complex architecture as the design to be implemented grows in complexity.The prerequisites to the PDD course

The course was intendedto be of interest to students from business, engineering, and industrial sciences. Within business,interest was strongest with students from computer information systems (CIS), and MBAs withan interest in manufacturing, quality, and/or technology management. Mechanical engineeringand industrial technology were the two areas outside business most frequently represented afterCIS and MBAs. The course was offered at the ‘500’ level meaning both undergraduate andgraduate students may take the
