This course explores the use of real-world experience at a deeperlevel within the curriculum, with students engaged in team-oriented instructional methods. In recent years, strong interest has gained traction for the incorporation of project-basedlearning (PBL) in a variety of different engineering disciplines, e.g. [26-33]. These previous effortscan inform proposed curriculum. However, few prior efforts have occurred to implement PBLthroughout an entire engineering curriculum. One exception is the Iron Range Engineering (IRE)program, which started in 2010 and uses 100% PBL with no

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program’s faculty and graduate students were tasked to design a low-cost system that connects the theoretical concepts learned in class and real-world applications. This system was designed with a modular approach to develop new experiments using the existing system. The developed system is an integration of National Instrument’s (NI) LabVIEW software, NI’s myDAQ (a portable and easy-to-program low-cost data acquisition device), a DC motor with a built-in rotary encoder, and a PCB with the motor

The need for better integration of theory and practice, particularly inengineering and technology, has been an issue in education since the first cooperative educationprogram was established in 1906 [1]. The value of cooperative education is well documented.

It provides the students withtools where they can evaluate different control and monitoring strategies, either using thePLC or the computer as their primary control tool and it also develops the logical thinkingof the student.
