The explosive growth in the capabilities of personal computers has helped bring thecomputer into nearly every facet of the operation of a business. Manufacturing educators haveused computers as tools to solve industrial problems for years. Computer instruction onprogramming and the use of software packages is a major element of accredited programs inmanufacturing engineering technology.

Teaching assistants always work in pairs or threes, and as often aspossible, experienced teaching assistants are matched with new ones. Unlike in many othercourses where teaching assistants simply work problems and review material in tutorials, theteaching assistants in the engineering courses are assigned new material that must be covered forthe students to succeed. The TA is given the task of teaching students new material not coveredin lecture, and is responsible for answering questions in class and on the web, and

First, students must be in the laboratory todebug real-time code and physically connect peripherals, leaving little opportunity forextracurricular experimentation. Second, treating only the microcontroller distances thestudent from the ubiquitous PC and its standards. A new approach to teaching computer systems and assembly language for sophomoreelectrical engineering students is being investigated at Auburn University. Due to curriculumrestrictions, the sophomore level course has no formal hardware laboratory. From the outset,four issues were addressed: treating PC-related issues via the 8086 microprocessor (ourtraditional approach), introducing embedded systems with simple

the conventional machine tools that populate the typical manufacturing engineering laboratory. Many processes require quite different machine tools (e.g., manufacture of electronic devices or nano-scale products). Others at least require resolution, tolerances and control well-beyond the traditional norms (e.g., micro-manufacturing). A simple or universal solution to the equipment challenge does not seem to be available. University budgets everywhere are under great pressure, and coaxing out the significant new investments necessary will likely be at long odds. There are very few opportunities to compete for grant funding for teaching apparatus -- not nearly enough to serve the needs of even a significant fraction of

The lecture-based format of teaching, which predominates inengineering education, may not be best to achieve these technical learning goals2.Through the lecture method, an instructor introduces students to course work byproducing notes on a chalkboard or overhead projector.
