68HC11 microcontroller is used toteach assembly language programming and to introduce the use of embedded microcontrollers insystem design. One of the most common challenges for educators who teach this type of courseis covering all desirable hardware and software concepts in a single semester. To help remedythis situation, we recently redesigned the course so each student must complete a single mobilerobot project with multiple “subsystem labs” replacing the previously unrelated lab sequence.We believe this more integrated approach improves the course for both educators and studentswhile facilitating the development of a systems design methodology.

The needs and opportunities for well-trained transportation engineers,technologist, specialists and managers are examined. The paper investigates the new career opportunities that will emerge for transportation technologists by the year2005 and that these new career opportunities will require higher levels of education and offer significant newchallenges for college graduates. Convergence in technology and information changes in the businessenvironment and markets, new government regulations and spending levels are explored as they affecttransportation industry careers.The paper explores the significant career opportunities that will

. Moderndigital communication teaching and research laboratories can use commercial test and measurementinstrumentation to simulate complex digital I-Q modulation scenarios. These full-featured instrumentsare great to use but it is easy to over-look the fundamental operational principles of creating thesecomplex waveforms at the physical layer of the system. In order to give students direct insight on theoperation of I-Q modulators, a laboratory exercise was created to teach the fundamentals of I-Qmodulator operation with a simple laboratory kit consisting of frequency mixers, semi-rigid coaxial cablewith connectors, and surface mount resistors. The schematic of the I-Q modulator is given in figure 1 asdrawn in the Keysight Advanced Design System

Educational design research seeks both tocreate practical interventions to improve learning and to develop theory explaining why thoseinterventions work; the process is iterative with successive cycles of design and analysis aimed atrefining both the intervention and theory [12]. The core of the intervention for this studyconsisted in the students interacting with and extending two ABMs co-designed by the authors ofthis paper. The ABMs and activities are described further in
