The lab will help students staycurrent with the advances in fluid power technology and support capstone senior projects,elective courses, and undergraduate research. Additionally, it will reinforce the fundamentals ofautomatic control systems in the associated required senior level course. The main objectives ofthe lab pertaining to the automatic controls course are to: 1. Prepare students to work on real-world motion control applications by providing them with hands-on experiences applying control system design ideas and concepts. 2. Expose students to electromechanical and fluid power hardware. 3. Educate students about the benefits

Student record dataindicates that the program has improved retention in the engineering program but has hadminimal effect on achievement. Anecdotal evidence from follow-on teachers, however, suggeststhat the TIDE program may have soft skill carry-over effects. Upper-class engineering studentswho participated in the TIDE program may exhibit more confidence, better communication skillsand greater team skills than their traditional program counterparts. To test this hypothesis, engineering faculty who teach downstream design courses thatrely heavily on student soft skills were asked to rate past students on a variety of dimensions.Each rater
