students useful skills that will help distinguish themfrom other job candidates. Microcontroller technology is new enough that recent graduates cansuccessfully compete with more senior engineers who have never learned to design withmicrocontrollers.Microcontrollers are becoming ubiquitous in many modern products and machinery, due to theirability to perform complex electronic functions for low cost, and understanding how to use thesesystems is a valuable skill set for any engineer. While some projects will require an electricalengineer to implement the microcontroller design, having the ability to design simplemicrocontroller systems will give a mechanical engineer the ability to be responsible for theentire design of many mechatronic devices, as
