Many more are entering the job market in pharmaceuticals, specialtychemicals, biotechnology, and microelectronics. The programmed-logic controller predominatesin these sectors. Yet the typical process control course today still reflects continuous processingand PLC’s are largely ignored. This situation calls for change.At the University of Colorado, we have introduced a module in our control course(Instrumentation & Process Control, CHEN 4570

Real Life High Voltage Accident Cases – Teaching Electrical Safety Navarun Gupta1, Sarosh Patel2, Manan Joshi3, Bhushan Dharmadhikari4, Lawrence V. Hmurcik5Abstract – We discuss the engineering principles of Hi-voltage (any voltage above 600 volts). We cite 4examples that typify some of the problems facing the Engineer and technician working with Hi-voltages, includinggeometry considerations, the need to follow proper protocol and the laws (both scientific and political) governingHi-voltage. Poor design considerations in capacitor construction is the first case we consider, as well as the lack ofproper protocols in discharging same. In the second case, a warning can be

The system is comprised of amotorized cart and sensors which will allow it to navigate around obstacles and arrive at thespecified location. While the prototype does not yet fully meet all the objectives specified, it hasmost of the functional requirements and will successfully drive and avoid obstacles. Theprototype will be demonstrated.Introduction Current lifestyles have made certain home chores more of an inconvenience than theyneed to be. One such task is the taking of the garbage to the curb for pick up. The design is anautonomous vehicle which will automatically

There are not many practicalsuggestions or related training courses for scientific applications of such theories.

-the-envelope” calculations. The choices made about whatvariables to consider and how to assign values to them have considerable impact on the solution.In Introduction to Civil Engineering at the University of South Carolina, students practiceestimation skills with Fermi questions, which can be likened to real engineering problems. First,students learn to make assumptions and approximations while understanding how to differentiateone from the other. An assumption is an estimate of the existence of a fact. An approximation isan estimate of the value of some quantity to a desired degree of accuracy. Assumptions arequalitative statements that often answer a “Yes” or “No” question. Numbers should not appear inan assumption, although there are some
