Implementation of a Virtual Control Room in the Integrated Science, Business and Technology Program

Principal Investigator

June 2003 - June 2006

National Science Foundation - $66,417

Abstract:  La Salle University requests support to enhance student learning by creating a Virtual Control Room (VCR) through which students will gain experience in process design and control, integral components of the new Integrated Science, Business, and Technology (ISBT) Program. Initially, two courses will be impacted: Laboratory Informatics and Collaborative Software Development, both of which will direct students through the set up and operation of a control room. Interested students will have three opportunities to monitor actual processes in courses entitled Tissue Culture, Bioprocessing, and Biotechnology of Pharmaceuticals.  Funds will be used to purchase hardware, instrumentation, and equipment and to support faculty and curriculum development.

Project Outcomes: The creation of the Virtual Control Room (VCR) has impacted four (4) courses within the Information & Knowledge Management (IKM) concentration of the ISBT program, Laboratory Informatics, Collaborative Software Development, Intelligent Systems and Knowledge Discovery.  Each course utilizes the VCR as its primary instruction room and the equipment and software permit the students to examine a wide range of technologies utilized by modern research and production laboratories.  Instruments utilized in the courses Tissue Culture, Bioprocessing and Biotechnology of Pharmaceuticals have been interfaced between the laboratory and the VCR.  The VCR has also facilitated student and faculty research and it has become a collaboration venue for all students within the ISBT program.

Incorporation of Problem-Based Learning into Two Courses – Technology Foundations II-Materials and Bioprocessing -- in the Integrated Science, Business and Technology Program

Co-Principal Investigator

January 2002 - January 2004     

National Science Foundation - $111,537

Abstract: LaSalle University is enhancing student learning by incorporating Problem-Based Learning (PBL) into two courses that are integral components of its new Integrated Science, Business and Technology (ISBT) Program. Modeled after a very successful program at James Madison University, ISBT is an interdisciplinary, undergraduate major that draws on LaSalle's solid traditions in science, technology, and business education to develop graduates that are uniquely qualified to take active leadership roles in arriving at scientifically and economically informed solutions to real-world problems. Funds are being used to purchase two UTMs, one Gas Chromatograph with auto sampler, and two, 5-liter B. Braun B Fermentation Systems, and to support faculty and curriculum development for Technology Foundations II-Materials (sophomore-level) and Bioprocessing (junior/senior-level). Materials are designed around student use of a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) and students are learning to use the UTM to test ferrous and non-ferrous metals, polymers and elastomers, ceramics, composites, and adhesives and to perform tensile, compression, shear, and flexure testing. This laboratory-intensive approach affords the investigation of a broad range of material types within a one-semester course and permits each student to discover a valid taxonomy of material type and physical behavior. Bioprocessing is designed to integrate concepts introduced in previous courses and imparts an understanding of fermentation system fundamentals, knowledge of several different mammalian and microbial biochemical systems, and an appreciation of the unique requirements of each system. Students manipulate and use real-time data to keep fermentation systems under control. PBL is being delivered through facilitated small student groups and utilize the new equipment.

Project Outcomes: The purchased equipment was introduced into the courses described in the project abstract.  This support was used to provide instructor training in PBL methods and assessment through an on-campus Workshop that was attended by interested faculty from multiple departments.  In addition to providing a laboratory component to these courses and others, the equipment has also been used extensively for student and faculty research.

Post-Processing Imaging-Software Development for a Paint-Measuring System

Principal Investigator

January 1999 - September 1999    

The Ford Motor Company/Visteon Corporation - $75,078

Abstract: This proposed research effort involves the development of image post-processing software for a proprietary paint formulation developed by Ford Visteon. This software will be capable of acquiring two-dimensional-intensity images from commercially available CCD cameras and also controlling the light sources used to illuminate the painted test object. The pair of images collected will quantify the intensity acquired from the painted test object in loaded and unloaded configurations. The software will employ algorithms that take into account test-object deformation when obtaining the intensity ratio of I(load) / I(unload). The resulting intensity ratio will be converted into the desired quantity through the use of laboratory calibration values and in-situ measurement results acquired during the test. The two-dimensional calibrated images will be exported in a format readable by the SDRC-IDEAS and Pro/Mechanica software packages for texture mapping onto a three-dimensional model surface.

Project Outcomes:  Development of over 20,000 lines of code in National Instruments LabWindows/CVI to create a Microsoft Windows – based software application codenamed “SVARaTI: Sensor Visualization, Analysis, Registration, and Testing Interface.”  The algorithms and procedures developed during this project have been commercialized into a product called Strain Sensitive Skin (S3) being marketing by Lambert Technologies at www.lambertech.com.
