For cell biologychromatographic apparati are essential to support fractionation. The following chromaticapparati are needed: (a) partition (paper), (b) thin-layer, and (c) column.Instruments are needed for use in chemistry to prepare materials and process samples. Topromote laboratory safety, eye wash stations, chemical storage cabinets and exhaust hoods withutilities are needed. Stills are essential to generate laboratory grade water for use in bothchemistry and biology.Models and PC software are needed for geometry courses so students can better grasp three-dimensional geometry for their pre-calculus

A.C. Motor Drives in an Introductory Power and Controls CourseAbstractThe induction motor is generally cheaper and more rugged than a dc machine. Thus, ac variable-frequency drives (VFD) have made induction motors the first choice for variable-speedapplications in industry. As a result, ac motor drives are an important topic for introductorypower or motors courses. The newest generation drives offer the ability to program the drives,either with a human interface module or via a link to a computer. One difficulty withincorporating variable-frequency drives into a laboratory portion of the course is the expense.“Name-brand” drives can cost more than $2,000, even for fractional horsepower motors, andsoftware to

This new approach will increase student enthusiasm and provide closer alignment of classroom topics with today’s standard industry practice. This paper will deal with a unique application of the research/teaching method used at the undergraduate level, using a hands-on laboratory approach in conjunction with classroom lecture. The approach can be tailored to all levels from introductory freshman to senior-level classes. An open-ended project is utilized, requiring a creative approach for its solution.

In thecurrent paradigm, there is little link between advanced theoretical algorithms designed within laboratories andtheir final implementation to meet an application-specific need. The curricula of the early 1980’s reflected thelevel of digital design complexity of the late 1970’s. At that time the need for shorter design times, the needfor hardware/software codesign, and life cycle cost issues, brought on by increasing design complexity, had notbecome apparent.
