American Society for Engineering Education, 2016Restructuring Digital Design Courses in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Programs, Preparing the Engineer of 2020AbstractAs the complexity of microelectronic systems is steadily increasing, universities must updatetheir curriculum to cope with the increased demands of the industry. New technologies and toolsare frequently introduced into the engineering workplace, and educational programs must find away to integrate many of these into their offerings. In the areas of digital system design, theindustrial use of programmable logic devices (FPGA, CPLD), associated EDA tools and HDLlanguages is increasing rapidly and consequently the demand for highly qualified engineers withthis

One common theme in most of these projects is that the courses are designed forsenior students enrolled mainly in engineering and other disciplines 6 - 9). While theseprojects are multidisciplinary, synchronization of course syllabi across the disciplineswas not made.In the above context, the Interdisciplinary Design Studies (IDS) project undertaken atRobert Morris University (RMU) in the spring of 2006 was a unique experiment by virtueof two features: Firstly, because the course was offered for mainly junior (along withsome sophomore) students and not for senior or graduate students as is usually

Because the public Internet is open to all, it ispossible that a message may be intercepted and altered. Therefore, the need to ensure theintegrity of data exists.

We plan to build a process bench wheremany of the above mentioned experiments may be conducted and principles demonstrated.Additionally, the program as a whole would benefit from an installation where a series ofequipment are interconnected as one sees in an industrial situation.

The damping in these could be seen as a separateentity as in the case of an automotive shock absorber or it could be an integral part of the systemsuch as the internal/external friction as in the case of a vibrating hack-saw blade, for example,mounted as a cantilever. It is not easy to find a pure spring-mass system because damping isalways present in some form. However, there are some devices in which the damping isnegligibly small and they can be approximated as pure spring
