example, Arlington will continue todevelop high school projects and curriculum on the benefits of recycling. Other benefits tostudent learning include:1. Students are forced to recognize that engineering and non-engineering aspects in solving societal problems are important.2. Students are forced to “think outside the technical box” to develop appropriate and realistic solutions.3. Students come to realize that professional and social responsibilities go together.From the perspective of the course or program administrators, inclusion of CSL projects providesa successful way to have students recognize the importance of soft constraints in developingsolutions to what is perceived a technological problem. This is important since engineers

mechanical measurements as a part of their curriculum. There is anincreasing demand for mechanical engineers to work with microcontrollers for automated dataacquisition and control. A microcontroller applications course was developed at the Universityof Nevada, Las Vegas, to meet this need.I. IntroductionEngineering curricula change with the needs of local and regional industry. During the pastseveral years, the mechanical engineering department at the University of Nevada, Las Vegashas been contacted by local companies and government agencies to assist in the development ofproducts that require the integration of sensors and actuators with microcontrollers. Theseprojects are often ideal for senior design, however, undergraduate mechanical

In these systems most signal processing is done digitally at lowfrequencies. However, the small number of unavoidable high frequency analog circuits are thedesign bottlenecks of an entire system. Three reasons have contributed to this bottleneck. First,the high frequency analog circuit design requires a good understanding of several core courses inthe electrical engineering curriculum such as; electromagnetic field
