In particular, they have alreadyseen the topics of modeling using transfer functions, state space and simulation diagrams,frequency response, and the rules for sketching Bode plots, and typical response of first andsecond order linear systems. With this in mind, the author has developed a series of laboratoriesto foster understanding of control systems topics. In particular, labs 2 and 4 seek to enhanceunderstanding of the Bode and Root Locus plots respectively by requiring the students togenerate these plots from experimental data. The sequence begins with time and frequencydomain system identification, segues through basic control actions, experimental determinationof the Root Locus

theirunderstanding of design itself: To focus the design process on the needs of the user and customer rather than on the capabilities of technology requires a change in mindset, one often resisted by engineers. We were surprised to find that the journals helped to change their minds. Journals actually gave the students a place to think through their objections to the principles of user-centered design, allowing them to convince themselves of the value of these principles. 8These practical studies of the ways in which students benefit from writing that takes placeduring the “thinking” phases of projects give credence to the concept of invention, whichhas been dismissed by some as a romanticized mystification.

Students learn that just because a solution mayappear better for a context they are familiar with doesn’t mean it actually is better for the contextin which the product will be used. By learning about and engaging with the difficulties ofdesigning medical devices for a low-resource hospital, students must also reckon with the rolethat engineering plays in social and economic inequalities, both globally and domestically.Products like medical devices tend to be designed for communities with the most money to payfor them and the most resources to build them, and therefore often can’t meet the needs of thosewho need them the most.With these ideas in mind, the surgical

Out of these,resource based approach is identified as the one close to engineering students. Engineeringstudents need to realize that they can easily identify the opportunities if they keep their minds inthe ‘Polling Condition’ (refers to basically anything that periodically checks (polls) for data or acondition).
