At the same time, the serial and parallel portscontinue to enjoy significant application in industrial control and embedded computer systems,in situations where low cost, low speed and single device communication is needed. Thissituation has given rise to the challenge that we not only need to continue teaching the paralleland serial port concepts, but also introduce the USB and Bluetooth interfacing andcommunication concepts in our courses.In this paper we present a survey of the teaching material (section 1), hardware considerations(section 2) and laboratory project demonstrations (section 3) that we have developed and used inour capstone course, to
