of an instrumentation and dataacquisition course2. Students have had courses in electrical circuit analysis, electrical machines,and analog and digital electronics before taking this course. The first three weeks of the fifteen-week semester are primarily devoted to LabVIEW programming. During the next eight weeks,the concepts and integration of sensors and actuators, interface electronics, and data acquisitionand instrument control hardware/software are covered. The final four weeks are dedicated tostudent-initiated laboratory design projects3-6. This paper focuses on some of the instrumentationprojects implemented by students during the spring-2005 semester.Early in the semester students develop project topics with appropriate feedback

the process of designing application programs startsfrom the individual module development through extensive testing, verification, andmodification. Applying these developed modules in a useful manner requires the links andintegrations that lead to the practical project implementation. Frequently, in students’ seniorproject designs and faculty’s research plans, the microprocessor/microcontroller resourcesbecome scarce or cause conflicts during the modules’ integration stage. To accommodate the shortfall of the resources and resolve any conflict state, severalchoices must be considered, such as the need to revise or totally rework the module, or apply themodule with additional circuit design. This article presents a proven concept that

Visualization enables getting a better insight into thedata and also aids effective presentation of the results of the analytical process. Visualization isalso a very powerful tool that motivates students. In ET courses, especially in the introductorycourses that teach core foundational aspects and principles of engineering and technology tostudents, motivation is an important factor to be considered.

The term groupimplies a somewhat more than a collection of individuals but the team implies much more [2].The curriculum in any specific area of study tends to narrowly focus students on that area,whereas real-world multifaceted systems tend to incorporate components from multipledisciplines. The development of such systems has shifted from designing individual componentsin segregation to working in cross-functional teams that include the variety of proficienciesneeded to design an entire system [1].The counter design provides an opportunity for studentsinterested in electronics, design, application and troubleshooting to combine their interest

In light of those recommendations and issues discussed at aNSF/CSS workshop, the author raises the question of appropriate contents for a control systemcourse as taught in a typical first course ET program. Presently, the majority of electrical, somemechanical and almost all electromechanical engineering technology programs have a course intheir curriculum called control systems. Even though they carry the same name, most often theircontents are drastically different. In many programs the focus of the course is on the applicationof typical classical control.
