We present work in progress which describes the development or redesign of two courses in the manufacturing engineering curriculum which was founded at Southwest Texas State University in the fall of 2000. Digital electronics and control systems now play roles in manufacturing that are on average as important as traditional mechanical-engineering-based subjects. In this paper, we report results of the first step of a two-step redesign of a Digital Electronics course and plans for a new course in Control Systems and Instrumentation. Student response to the use of new computer hardware and MultiSim® software in the Digital Electronics course is positive, as measured by an independent evaluation.
