microcontroller course has a broad rangeof sophomore-level prerequisites, it can serve as an integration point of these prerequisites andshow students how these prerequisites are inter-related so that students will hopefully organizetheir previous compartmentalized knowledge into a coherent structure. This course alsoimproves the progression of the students’ laboratory experiences. In particular, theprogramming, instrumentation, component, and circuit experiments of their sophomore andfreshmen years are now followed by the system- and design-oriented experiments. We also hopethat, by engaging students from distinctive backgrounds, students will communicate with eachother and appreciate the diversity and merits of each other’s disciplines.IV
