of apower jack, 5 Vdc regulator, RJ12 jack required to interface the Microchip ICD-2 programmingdevice, and an oscillator. It connects to a solderless breadboard with six pins. With six wires anda processor the student has a working single board computer for under $30.00. With some care atthe assembly stage this board should be serviceable for several semesters and is, in fact, used forthe subsequent capstone project course. The only capital expenditure is for the programmingdevice that connects the development software to the microcontrol unit. MCC purchasedMicroChip ICD-2s to support the class laboratory exercises.TextbookThis is controversial. The hard realities are that all of the available texts are expensive and, moreoften than not

responsibility to society and the environment. These abilitiesare contained within the program outcomes of ABETii.Undergraduate engineering programs now typically include a freshman design experience. There are anumber of modelsiii. Some examples of such courses are listed here. At Northern Arizona University,students are introduced to current design software such as CAD, equation solvers, and spreadsheets. AtDrexel University, the course focuses on the design process and its applications in engineering through aseries of lectures and projects. There are also linkages to freshmen humanities courses. At the Universityof Wisconsin at Madison, students work in teams to determine customer needs, propose solutions, anddesign and test final products.The

the desire outcome. 2learning journals and application to engineering 149 The teaching technique I selected is learning journals, where students write weekly journal entries(100-300 words per entry) discussing pertinent class topics and relating them to explicitly stated coursethemes. If desired, the instructor can provide leading questions or specific issues to be addressed inrelation to the overall weekly topic. The project will culminate in a significantly longer entry (minimum1000 words) tying weekly topics together by highlighting the common threads—the stated coursethemes—and using reason to make conclusions. Students
