demands of increasing number of student applications12.Between early 1960’s and 1971 a number of private higher education schools were opened onprofit motive which was found to be against the constitution therefore they were transformed intopolytechnics in 1971 which later were restructured into universities together with other highereducation schools and establishments. In 1992, 21 new universities and two advanced technologyinstitutes were founded. Additional universites were founded along the policy of spreadinguniversities all over Turkey. The total number of Universities reached to 53 at the end of 1992.In 1984, a new brand of university is introduced to the Turkish Higher Education System,namely Bilkent University.

Session 1526 Learning Process Control with LEGOs® S. Scott Moor, Polly R. Piergiovanni and Matthew Metzger Lafayette CollegeIntroduction One of the key challenges of undergraduate engineering education is providing studentsan experience that includes both solid theoretical underpinnings and a clear connection toindustrial practice. This is especially important for process control, where students often find itdifficult to connect the mathematical analysis with a practical application. Over the last 18 months, we have developed inexpensive and flexible

Students had towork closely with members of the sensors team to understand the meaning of incoming signals.Some were analog signals, some were pulses, and some were variable frequency signals. Thesignals were converted to "real world" units and then stored in memory. Once the individualprograms had been written and tested, they were combined into a single program. The overallprogram was a simple loop that continually updated the values in memory and checked for arequest from the host. The student working on the protocol design was also responsible forconstructing the final program from the subprograms developed by other students.
