October 9-11, 2003 Ames, IowaFunding from a private grant made it possible to initiate a new program within the College ofEngineering in 2000. This faculty-focused program was developed to support the college’sinternational education and experiential learning program, and has made a step-functionimprovement in our ability to attain our international program goals. These goals state that over60% of our faculty and 33% of our students will have an international experience. (College ofEngineering Blueprint, n.d.)The International Multi-Partner Action (IMPACT) program (see Appendix A) was created to utilizethis grant. Under the IMPACT program, grant funds have been used to support approximately 60faculty who have visited 36

Quality tools are generally taught as a series ofdiscrete nonintegrated units. Each tool’s use is taught separately from the other. Learning to use these tools inthis way is similar to someone trying to learn to speak a foreign language by memorizing a dictionary. Itrepresents an impossible task. The

AbstractOften, engineering departments are faced with the need to update laboratory exercises andequipment. However, adequate funds do not always exist to accomplish these upgrades in atimely manner. Another challenge faced by departments are satisfying Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements for a major design experience within thecurriculum. ABET guidelines state, “Students must be prepared for engineering practice throughthe curriculum culminating in a major design experience based on the knowledge and skillsacquired in earlier course work and incorporating engineering standards and realistic constraintsthat include most of the following considerations: economic; environmental; sustainability;manufacturability; ethical

It isapparent that all areas of industry are changing to modern computer-based data-acquisition andcontrol systems.It is important that engineering and technology graduates obtain proficiency and confidence withmodern computer-based data-acquisition systems. According to Steve Lekas, Vice President ofNew Products at IOTech, companies no longer have fully staffed departments to develop testsystems and programs, hence technical employees need to “put their own test system together”[5].
