Can the design approach based on the structured flow of steps illustrated in Fig.1be applied in areas other than control system design? The answer is probably not.

The engineering classes required for the major areoffered and transcripted by the Main Campus, but are taught on the Host Campus either astraditional classes or as distance education. The non-engineering classes (math, science, history,English, economics, etc.) are offered by the Host Campus. Engineering programs are composedof approximately 50% engineering courses and 50% non-engineering courses, so each campusteaches approximately 50% of the courses in the degree plan. The engineering degrees earned bythe students and the diplomas granted upon graduation are from the Main Campus. Teaching the

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
