thestudents have a hands-on experience with the concepts covered in lecture. EE 302 is broken into two main components. The first component is a survey ofimportant aspects for the Professional Engineer. The topics covered include the following:  Different focus areas in electrical and computer engineering Page 22.852.2  Problem solving and the Engineering Design Process  Ethical behavior of engineers  Responsibilities of the engineer to society  Skills for continuing education and independent studyThese topics are covered primarily by a series of short reports completed throughout thesemester. The second component focuses on

problems, design solutions using theirunderstanding, consider the ethical implications of their designs, and interact with the customerthrough verbal and written communication means. Two of these assignments are discussed inthis paper: the design of a force transducer for medical rehabilitation, discussed in detail, and thedesign of an accelerometer based impact measurement system for a package delivery company.Load Cell Transducer MEA ExerciseIn this MEA, teams of two or three students are assigned to work as engineering consultants forthe owner of a fictitious company, “Rehab-o-Rama”, which manufactures physical rehabilitationequipment. The students are given a memorandum from the owner, requesting that the studentsdesign a class of load cell
