Together, we found industrial donations of input and outputdevices such as switches, motors, valves, and pneumatic cylinders. The high school classreturned to campus, to develop ideas for their own automated cell to be built from theirnewly acquired components. Four more visits were strategically planned over the nexttwo months to provide the high school teacher and students with the skill sets needed toreplicate our automated cell lab projects on a smaller scale.The design and fabrication of the modules purchased by the high schools were college-based class activities in electronics and material processing courses. The only expensesto the high schools were the cost

Course selection and definition was a joint effort of the Industrial Advisory Board(IAB) automation sub-committee and the MMET faculty. Initially convened in spring 2002, theIAB automation sub-committee is comprised of a diverse cross section of local industry leaderscommitted to higher education. The IAB automation sub-committee is an integral part of theautomation concentration for the mechanical engineering technology program at ASU, providinga voice for industry, general direction for course content and potential equipment donors.Through their collaborative approach, the MMET faculty and the IAB automation sub

in October 2001, New Jersey residents stated thatwhile math and science play a critical in their lives, their children are graduating from NewJersey high schools with insufficient knowledge of those subjects. 3 Thus, the current declinein the number of students interested in science and math is of major concern, not only to thegrowth of New Jersey’s economy, but to the United States’ economy as well.Many higher education institutions have reacted to these projected shortages with aproliferation of outreach programs for students and teachers and recruitment efforts withstudents. Recent reports on student programs indicate an increased focus on providingengineering experiences and an introducing students to what engineers do. 4-7 Programs

Modeling with Simulink is required, following the simulationshown in this paper. Students are required to know Simulink previous to this project. Simulink istaught at the junior level in the “numerical analysis” course and the IEEE and HKN societiesoffer workshops on Matlab/Simulink every semester. BESS is not included in the curriculum yet,thus there is no data for us to use to assess this module’s effectiveness in student learning, assoon as we teach this material, we will have more information and will be able to identify

While a number of centers, such as Stanford University’s d-school and NorthwesternUniversity’s Segal Design Institute have existed for a long time, a significant number of otherengineering centers have recently been established and even more are in the planning phase.These centers generally offer a location, infrastructure, and support for the university communityto learn and work in a hands-on project-centered environment. Though each design center has aunique purpose relative to its home institution, the centers have all had a significant impactinstilling design experiences into the campus culture.
