New microcontrollers continue to get more powerful – or, in somecases, less powerful – with increases in memory, on-chip resources, and bus speeds.We have traditionally used Motorola (now Freescale) microprocessors and microcontrollersincluding the 6800, 6809, 68HC11, 68HC12, and now, the 9S12 family of microcontrollers.Because of this, we will focus on the 9S12 family in this paper, though many of the newtechnologies apply to other manufacturers as well.We have found that the 9S12 family is a very versatile family of parts.

Effectivecommunication skills are inherent to all the skills in the professional domain (BOK 7, ABET g).These skills are commonly addressed in engineering programs in separate courses and/or an end-of-program team project design course, i.e., capstone course. However, simply having arequisite capstone course with these skills included does not guarantee successful developmentof these skills, and potentially a negative experience could be detrimental in an individual’sprofessional development. Many programs recognize this challenge and try to address thedevelopment of these skills through passive knowledge infusion within the capstone course.Several techniques commonly used to provide information to the students include lectures by

Recently there has been a move towardbringing laboratory-based activities into content area classrooms to enrich learning. Thepurpose of this paper is to investigate course design in view of student goal orientationand the attributional theory of motivation. In social cognition theory, an individual’s goal orientation is seen to greatlyinfluence his willingness to accept a challenge and to persist when faced with difficulties.The types of team activities employed in a classroom foster either a performance-goaloriented or learning-goal oriented learning environment.
