and Villanova engineering students. The first course in thesequence was to be focused on providing the contextual background for students, especially atVillanova University, and orient them towards how to identify technology-based, entrepreneurialprojects suitable for rural Nicaraguans. The second course was to be focused on the developmentof sustainable business models for the base of the pyramid customer. In addition, students wouldprepare a proposal for their capstone design project in the first semester course and then executetheir design work in parallel with the second course on sustainable business model development.The projects were to be worked on jointly by teams comprising Villanova students and UNIstudents.

offer courses on Eclipse-based MBD of embedded system, only the graduate school in Chinese Science Academy hasopened a research course recently as far as best knowledge.5. ConclusionMBD is cost effective for developing complex and reliable-critical embedded systems. Thispaper presents our teaching experiences of integrating this new MBD paradigm into a system-level Programming Tools course for CE and EE students. It mainly describes two new topicsintegrated to this PT course: MBD concepts and eclipse-based software tools supporting MBD,from the course materials preparation and instruction approaches two aspects. In the future,students and our teachers will together create and gather more capstone projects related to MBDby means of eclipse-based

. Page 20.5.4Remote Robotics Laboratory Workstation System OverviewThe remote robotic laboratory workstation is an instructional system designed and developedmainly by the students of the program as part of their senior design capstone projects.The system uses World-Wide-Web to enable distance students access an industrial robot armmanipulator located in one of the laboratories on campus. The robot arm manipulator used forthis project is a five-axis Mitsubishi Movemaster RV-M1 robot with 1.2 kg lifting capacity 11.The control device of the robot is equipped with the card containing 16 binary inputs andoutputs. It also connects to a personal computer, using Centronics or RS232 port. Despite itssmall size, the robot constitutes a typical
