their capstone project.This is an exercise with multiple dimensions, technical and interpersonal. The teams have astressful time constraint: only a few lessons in which to demonstrate a prototype. A workingprototype requires both hardware and software components that must be appropriately integrated.Since the teams consist of students from different majors, most are working together for the firsttime. This initial exercise encourages the students to quickly bond as a team. Finally, this projectis distinct from their capstone project for two reasons: First, it gives the team a smaller-scopeproject to experience a full design cycle before embarking on their capstone. Second, if thisrobotics project is unsuccessful, it allows the team to have a

This was to help students see how the disparate topics for which theywould have taken classes, come together in its application to biology and the human system.

By exposing students to vibration measurement instrumentation such asaccelerometers and dynamic signal analyzers, and by allowing them to take experimental data,calculate frequency response functions, and identify system parameters and mode shapes, studentlearning and motivation is enhanced. One characteristic of the labs described in this paper, incontrast to other vibrations labs discussed in the literature, is the way each lab builds upon theprevious one and the fact students test real engineering structures. The initial labs in the courseuse Electronic Control Products (ECP) hardware and introduce the idea of frequency responsefunctions (FRFs) and system identification.

things a resident monitor does is perform all of the required MCUinitialization in its own startup code. This allows the student to write simple program snippetswithout dealing with startup code or reset vectors.For example, when using the 9S12DG128 MCU, the memory map and the oscillator PLL are notoptimally configured out of reset. The resident D-Bug12 configures the memory map and sets upthe bus frequency during its initialization. The code for doing this is fairly simple but not for abeginning student. Also, if code is being loaded into RAM, the RAM location must be movedbefore the program is even loaded. By using a resident monitor, the beginning student can besheltered from these added complexities and from the confusion of introducing
