This tool allows students to use it for the development of an embeddedsystem with various other MCUsThis course begins with learning data types, syntax, and displaying output and reading input viaa console terminal. A laboratory template code is given to students to redirect printf and scanffunctions. This allows students to use the MSP432 Launchpad in learning C, as they figure outthe basic read and write functions via a console terminal. As students become comfortable

is that “the population of individuals whoare involved with or affected by technology…will be increasingly diverse and multidisciplinary.”This highlights one of the biggest pushes in recent years, which is for engineers who are able tofunction effectively on multidisciplinary teams.Often in engineering, when the term multidisciplinary is used, it refers to different branches ofengineering. A multidisciplinary team might have electrical, mechanical and industrial engineerson it. However, when students become practicing engineers, they will no longer be workingsolely with other engineers. Quite often, they will need to work with peers without a technicalbackground. For instance, their coworkers may have a business or management degree

Instructionaldesign that is aligned with the learning model is a much more complicated process. Instructionhas to account for students’ prior knowledge and develop customized curricula, emphasizingexperiences, expeditions, and inquiry. Open-ended questions, problems, and dialogue amongstudents are encouraged, while grades and testing are replaced with self and peer assessmentallowing students to negotiate their own progress.In addition to these two dominant models, various other models have also entered the discussionunder different designations

, engineers do not try to find the root of theproblem, but concentrate efforts on optimizing existing solutions which may not be based on themost suitable principles. That seems illogical, since using correct physical principle tends to givea simple and robust solution 12, 4, 6, 15, 19. On the other hand what could be the right solution isoften beyond the reach of the particular problem solver working on it, or it is deemed too costlyto pursue or implement.
