The course project has four majorcomponents: a LabVIEW20 based closed loop control system design using the Modbus17 digitalcommunication protocol; hardware design to replace the Modbus slave with a PCB; softwaredesign for the Modbus slave; and system integration. The focus of this article is on the firstcomponent, i.e., LabVIEW based closed loop control using Modbus communication protocol.LabVIEW was chosen to be the tool for the course project because it can provide hands-onexperiences for students, which is particularly important for engineering technology programs.Another reason for using LabVIEW was that it was being used by several other courses in theEET program, as part of the curriculum

These workshops served multiplepurposes. First, it offered teachers an introduction to the research component of the project.Second, sample curriculum guides were shared with teachers and school administrators in orderto prompt discussion about how the day-to-day of the project might unfold.

The central tenet of STEM literacy is the preparation of people who are knowledgeableof the connections between the content and practices of the STEM fields. This is in contrast tothe silo method of education, which teaches the STEM disciplines independently of each other.When conceived as an integrative curriculum model designed around teamwork and problem-solving environments, Integrative STEM education is the ideal pathway for achieving STEMliteracy (Sanders, 20086, 20065; Wells, 20087).Research Design The purpose of this study was to begin to understand the impact of overtly teaching fortransfer on students learning Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

Integratingengineering standards throughout the curriculum can strengthen students’ understanding of whatstandards are and how to apply them effectively in senior design [1] and their careers.BackgroundIn 2014, an ABET review identified a weakness in the use of engineering standards in our BMEprogram.
