Spring 2009, AHC received its first SMC MAP-205 manufacturing assembly minicell.  It uses electro-pneumatic technology and i is used by Mechatronic students for hands- on study and experimentation.

Introduce Technology into Your Classroom!

The purpose of this website is to help develop strategies that implement science, engineering, and engineering technology applications into the classroom and to also offer online courses in basic electronics for students entering technology related careers.  A goal is to provide students with the why (or "what is it good for") of mathematical processes. Activities are available that will excite and promote student comprehension. Many activities are computer based using spreadsheet and simulation software, others will require inexpensive electronic components for laboratory exercises. All are designed to introduce technology to the student with the hopes of presenting possible career choice options.

Free hands-on workshops are available illustrating material usage in the classroom. Online electronic courses and tutorials are also available; receive college credit for lecture and laboratory courses in DC, AC, and Digital Electronics.  MultiSim's Electronic Workbench is used to simulate laboratory exercises.  Courses are textbook based to facilitate a broader understanding of the basic fundamentals of technology. Any basic technology textbooks can be used with these courses, but this site uses textbooks authored by Thomas Floyds. NIDA computer-aided-instruction (CAI) study materials are now incorporated into each online course. The NIDA materials requires a key-disk, available free after enrollment into any of the online courses. NIDA is the primary supplier to the U.S. Armed Services for CAI technology training and materials.
