careers as well as the plans and suggestions to overcome those problems. The course outline along with laboratory experiments will also be discussed.Keywords: Problems and Solutions for PIC MicrocontrollerIntroduction At Northwestern State University of Louisiana, Natchitoches, we inducted a one-semester course on microcontrollers, obviously, for a multiple of reasons, for our undergraduatestudents doing majors in ‘Electronic Engineering Technology (EET)’. At the very start of thisventure, we found out that we were on a head-on-collision course to a number of challenging andmulti-faced problems. This was quite disappointing. But we pursued on to develop a reasonablygood course and our consistent efforts in doing-so ultimately

academic environment that satisfies not only a disciplines’ technological requirements butalso the demands of the marketplace. Consequently, engineering technology programs should beconceived, structured and implemented accordingly.The writer entered the teaching profession after a significant experience in industry and has beeninvolved since with the development of engineering and engineering technology programs thatwill directly address the needs of industrial practice. At the onset of his academic career, thewriter conducted a comprehensive industrial survey to determine if a particular company’stechnical expectations and requirements were being met with recent mechanical engineeringundergraduates. Following are a sampling of industry’s
