techniques of systems analysis from systems engineering or industrialengineering. Today, because of the rapid growth in computer technology and the widespread useof the term "systems analyst" in the computer industry, most people associate systems analysis withcomputers and information systems. However, the basic concepts of systems analysis areapplicable and quite useful for anyone facing difficult problems involving a variety of people andthings.There are three basic concepts from systems analysis that would be particularly useful indeveloping urban microenterprises using appropriate technologies. The first concept is to identifyall of the stakeholders (i.e., the people that could be impacted by the urban microenterprises) andinclude them where
Session FA4-4 Innovative CAD/CAM Curriculum for Industrial Technology Programs Dr. Farzin Heidari Industrial Technology Department, Texas A&M University--Kingsville AbstractThe CAD/CAM process integrates the geometry, toolpath and the G-code program to create apart on a milling machine. Three different steps are taken for a CAD/CAM process. First thegeometry for the part is created as a CAD file. The second step is to create a toolpath byassigning a cutting option to a section of the drawing. Each selected toolpath has its ownparameters. The result
Teaching Finite Element Analysis in Undergraduate Technology Curriculum Ali R. Moazed, Richard Roberts, Xiaobin Le, Anthony Duva Session: Tools, techniques, and best practices of engineering education for the digital generationI. AbstractTypically, FEA courses are offered at a graduate level, covering the theoretical basis with littleor no effort to apply this technology to real problems. In some institutions, this course is offeredto seniors, but the content is also mostly theoretical. At Wentworth, we have designed an FEAcourse based on our industrial experience which could be labeled “Applied Finite ElementAnalysis”.

Clermont currently offers courses in electrical engineering technology, computer systems support, physics, chemistry, biology and computer information systems. Associate degrees and/or certificates are available in several of these areas. While a technology club would obviously serve these disciplines well, technology really knows no boundaries and can be useful to students in business and humanities too. The club should have something for anybody who has an interest in being involved.II. An Idea is Born In traditional technical courses students frequently express interest in topics outside the existing program. For example a couple

Such is the approach in Principles of Particle Technology , a junior-level 3-credit class inChemical Engineering that has two lecture periods and one 2-hour laboratory period per weekduring a 15-week semester. Particle technology is particularly amenable; key basic experimentscan be done within the laboratory session and the apparatus can be simple. In addition, thechronologies of the lecture and laboratory sessions are arranged to be in step with each other.Students work in pairs on the same experiment in a single laboratory session; each experiment iscompleted within
