Container: A container integrates all the constituent elements and makes them aware of each other. In order for this to be accomplished, all contributing objects have to be registered with the container. The container defines how these objects collectively cooperate in any application. In addition, the container provides the placeholders for all participating objects in an application. A person well versed in the subject area of the educational applet (e.g., in our case photonics) should be responsible for the design the container.The framework moves the responsibility, for the

Objectives of this course are thefollowing: • Hands-on experience in circuit analysis, • Signal conditioning, • Integration of sensors into electro-mechanical application, • Integration of digital circuit and microcontroller into electro-mechanical application, and • System-level design experience using electronics, sensor, actuators, and microcontroller.Mechatronics is a 4-credit course and is taught in an integrated lecture-lab format. In this format,there is no separate laboratory time. Class meets three days a week for two hours each day. Theinstructor

Yet, more than ever it is essential thatacademia match industry and the consumer in keeping up with the technology.One way to update and improve the technician-level electronics curriculum is to adopt a systems-oriented rather than a component/circuit analysis approach that most schools still use. Thanks tohigh density integrated circuits, fewer and fewer discrete component circuits are in use today yetmost two-year schools continue to teach the analysis and design of discrete component circuitsthat few technicians actually encounter today.

The result showed thatSolidWorks was most widely used and was gaining popularity in the markets of our constituents.The decision was quickly made to utilize SolidWorks throughout the curriculum for design andanalysis. This change prompted the university to purchase a larger license agreement which alsoallowed unlimited certification exam vouchers for students and faculty.In 2011, after becoming more confident in the ability of the students’ use of SolidWorks, the firstcertification exams were given.

Writing technical information appropriately tocommunicate with others is essential and needs to be developed in technical subjects withstudents who study engineering.

This skill represents the ability to identify and fixa problem within an engineered system by strategizing the approach within a time-constrainedsetting. To address this weakness, our group of five Engineering faculty members formed alearning community to devise an initiative to better prepare students for troubleshooting tasks. Itis expected that this should help them not only achieve greater success in their senior designproject, but also better prepare them for the workforce.

To streamline the articulation and joint curriculum development process, the team utilizes thestudent-centered Wiggins and McTighe curriculum development model [19]. The Wiggins and McTighemodel employs a “backwards design” that bases curriculum development on desired learning, or learningoutcomes. It is an appropriate model, since course articulation is being based on common learningoutcomes. Students transferring from Ivy Tech to Purdue are granted credit for articulated courses basedon shared learning outcomes. This model focuses on
