This paper discusses the planning and development of student training and activities for the Powerline Communications Laboratory at the Technical Education Institute (TEI), Patras, Greece. Powerline communications is currently an active area of research and development that combines three separate specializations from the standard training of…

In this paper, a course on applied superconductivity is described. The course structure is outlined and the learning objectives and the learning activities are described. The teaching was multidisciplinary given by four departments each contributing with their expertise. Being applied superconductivity, the focus was on an application, which could…

This paper describes the goals, pedagogical system, and educational outcomes of a three-semester curriculum in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The sequence takes engineering students with no formal MEMS training and gives them the skills to participate in cutting-edge MEMS research and development. The evolution of the curriculum from…

A FIELD STUDY OF THE ELECTOMECHANICAL TECHNICIAN OCCUPATION WAS CONDUCTED IN TWO STAGES. IN THE FIRST PHASE, PERSONAL INTERVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED IN 26 INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS SELECTED BY SIZE, PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY, AND GEOPGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION. IN THE SECOND PHASE, A BRIEF QUESTIONNAIRE WAS USED TO OBTAIN A BROAD SAMPLE OF THE QUANTITATIVE NEED…

A description is provided of the Automated Manufacturing/Robotics program to be offered at Delaware County Community College beginning in September 1984. Section I provides information on the use of reprogramable industrial robots in manufacturing and the rapid changes in production that can be effected through the application of automated…

A two-day conference was held in 1969 with industrial representatives and COSINE members to examine the impact that computer technology has had upon the practice of engineering in industry and to assess the meaning of these changes upon the structure of electrical engineering education. The major conclusions and recommendations of the meeting may…

An upper-division two-year program in electrical power engineering technology developed at Oklahoma State University is described. The typical two-plus-two program in mechanical, electronics, electromechanical, or other related technologies consists of two years of study at the associate level followed by two years at the bachelor's level.
