Workplace experience“brings home” the pressures of salary and career growth. The adult student’s experiences countfor as much as the teacher’s knowledge. As an example, there was an instance when I wasexplaining a piece of electronic equipment in the laboratory, only to have some students explainthat they have more modern equipment at their workplace. This encouraged me to update myknowledge base on that type of

Whenever energy efficiency and conservation curb the use offossil fuels, a reduction in CO2 emissions will follow as well as other pollutants contributing toacid rain and urban smog. Energy conservation must interface with a facility’s pollution controlprogram along with the energy savings steps. Care must be taken to use conservation measureswhich do not create local pollution problems. Installation of energy efficient technologies canreduce pollution and the cost of environmental protection by lowering energy bills and

Acceptance TestingEach team was required to demonstrate the performance of their design for the “customer.”Course faculty played the role of the customer. The faculty emphasized that it does not matter ifthe prototype worked previously, it must work at the time of the demonstration.Customer acceptance testing was performed with the protype mounted to the computer-controlled test fixture that was used to test both static and transient performance. The fixturecould be driven one step at a time (0.9°) to test the static performance of the tilt sensors.Stations were set up in the laboratory for various other required tests to be witnessed by thecustomer.

In addition, the research experience improves thestudents’ problem-solving and communications skills, enhances their self-confidence and gives them a sense of accomplishment beyond classroomlearning. Furthermore, it gives them a sense of wonder and discovery, ayearning for more discoveries and learning, and the skill of self-motivating andself-teaching.
