learning enhances the student’s education includingthe areas of: work ethic, critical thinking, problem solving, social issues, and reasoning.1,2,3 Onegoal of Purdue University, the College of Technology, and the Building ConstructionManagement Department is to infuse global awareness in both undergraduate and graduatestudents. A study abroad course is one way to accomplish this goal. International experiencesgive our students an edge over other students and allow them to apply their knowledge to solveproblems outside of their comfort zone. Understanding different materials and methods ofconstruction expands their knowledge. The overall experience adds to their marketable skillswhen entering the workforce. Most students in this department tend to
graduate program. Thechallenge has been how to present this broad set of material in an integrated fashion that createsa cohesive picture of what technical managers face in the work place. To address this challenge,EMEN 5010 has been built around the framework of the Baldrige National Quality programCriteria for Performance Excellence. The seven Baldrige categories provide the broad scopenecessary for such a course while the integrated nature of the criteria addresses the need for acohesive and integrated picture. Student response to this approach has been positive with respectto the format, presentation, and value of the course.BackgroundThe Lockheed Martin Engineering Management Program (the Program) is in its 13th year ofoffering a Master of

Session 1547 PLC Systems - University Course Material or Industrial Training Material ? Don Zeller Assistant Professor, Engineering Technology Department, Fenn College of Engineering, Cleveland State UniversityIntroductionIn the late 1960’s, a new electronic device made its debut, at the request of the automotiveindustry. It was called a programmable logic controller (PLC) and its function was to replace anexisting system of machine control logic. The existing system was based on an electro-mechanical device called a relay and the machine
Session 2520 Digital Filter Frequency Response and Eigenfunctions: An Opportunity to Reinforce Linear System Concepts Gregory M. Dick University of Pittsburgh at JohnstownAbstractUndergraduate EE and EET students often master problem-solving techniques at theexpense of the understanding of fundamental principles. Furthermore, they often seetheir education as the study of a set of unrelated topics rather than as the mastery of asingle discipline which encompasses several related areas. An eigenfunction-basedintroduction to digital filter frequency response can help to ameliorate these

Session 2659 Industrial Automation Using OLE Dr. Bruce E. Segee, Kevin S. LeBlanc University of Maine AbstractOften, industrial automation software is a single monolithic program that must handle all aspectsof control, data gathering, architecture, and reporting. Design of such software is timeconsuming and error prone. Furthermore, maintenance or modifications to the code is difficultand can “break” other functions. A more powerful approach is to use the multiprocessingcapabilities of Windows95 along with the
various playgrounds in the world, analyzingusers’ photos, interacting with various users, andreading playground engineers’ stories. DAY1: PHYSICAL FORCES Students rotate to three learning centers to investigate forces in playground equipment. Swing set: Discuss how gravity and inertia are involved in swing sets and calculate the rate of the pendulum swing. Slide: Investigate how different materials influence friction on the slide. Seesaw: Predict and investigate how a lever works. DAY 2: ENTER THE USERS’ WORLD Enter: Identify users and problems that they need to solve. Plan to understand the users’ experiences
opportunities as well as usagestatistics for the WKC that demonstrate significant audience response to such dissemination andproject activity.IntroductionWEPAN is leading an effort to develop a resource to meet the need for readily accessibleinformation and communication about women in engineering.
