Even in the first year concept-based questions are necessary.Implementing an innovation --- the case for PBL (Problem Based Learning):1) PBL involves students working in teams on case studies in which realistic industrial problems are solved, the aim being: § to integrate knowledge and skills (multidisciplinary) § to acquire knowledge through self-study (learning to learn) § to teach students to work in groups § to improve communication skills § to improve problem solving ability.2) Every student is part of a small team (of approx six), supervised by a tutor. § Important that the tutor does not impose their own knowledge and standards

construction of a walking beam conveyor, combinedwith a parts feeder driven by a Geneva mechanism. Both the walking beam conveyer and theGeneva mechanism are examples of machinery used in automation that pre-dates electroniccontrol systems. While they can be operated as strictly mechanical systems, their application canbe expanded by implementation of electronic control. An industrial grade programmable logiccontroller (provided by the ET program) is perhaps the most desirable type of controller to usedue to its relevance to industry. However, a hobbyist grade microcontroller such as Arduino [4]may be desirable in some circumstances. As the project continues, it is foreseen that thesemechanisms can be integrated into a larger system employing modern

by instructors to meet their preferredobjectives. Therefore, while they may be prerequisites to second-year courses, first-yearengineering programs are not necessarily integrated into an engineering curriculum. Further,since they are often designed with little consideration for best practices in introductory coursedesign, overall outcomes and content vary widely. This leads to the issue of course developers“reinventing the wheel,” considering successful models are not adequately disseminated. Theproblem is further exacerbated by a lack of definition for first year models. Despite a developerknowing what they want in a course, he or she may not be able to find a course with similaroutcomes with nothing more than "first year engineering" as a

As an educational strategy, co-operative education provideslearning that is related to the students’ curriculum. From the standpoint of industry, it isimportant that students have the technical knowledge that their academic preparation provides,but it is equally important for them to develop workplace knowledge.” 4

By 1967, as reported by Evans, Steward, and Sprague4, six commercial computer-aided process design programs for steady-state operation, all written in FORTRAN, werereferenced in the literature. It was believed at that time that all large companies in the petroleumindustry and most large chemical companies were using computer-aided process designprograms.During the same period from the mid 1950s to the late 1960s, computers were also spurringrevolutions

Those attitudes are built over a lifetimeand are a function of role models, mentors and experiences outside the curriculum. They are verydifficult to incorporate into a CEPC that is restricted to curricular issues. Still, it could be arguedthat this topic is embedded in several existing requirements in both the general criteria and theCEPC.
