Research and identify a contemporary issue where microprocessors (not Personal Computers) are used to deal with the issue, and 2. Explain the impact of the microprocessor technology on the issue in hand (the application / solution).Here the contemporary issue was defined as (1) Recent issues in healthcare, environmentalprotection, homeland security, electronic voting systems, etc., or (2) Emerging technologies,such as using microprocessors in a new automobile design to eliminate blind spots in the outsiderear-view mirrors.

First, there was a trend that asage and time in the industry increase, the belief that being more proactive about safety increasessafety performance. Second, as age increases, the belief that safety interferes with workdecreases. Third, as age and experience increase, the belief that safety and production are non-compatible goals decreases. According to their research, “experience and age positively impactattitudes.”5 This realization prompted additional research, resulting in the evidence that thenumber of incidents (accidents) vs. age was 0.57 for the under-30 age

information isacquired through student research with the instructor acting as a facilitator. The goal of theactivity is to acquire new skills and collaboratively build knowledge about a topic. Collaborativeknowledge building occurs when team members work together to construct, improve, andexpand knowledge.3 This type of activity requires an engaging topic along with student directedresearch and discussion. As knowledge building proceeds, questions and proposed answers to theproblem emerge within the student teams.4Learning ObjectivesThe learning objectives for this activity exist in two domains: 1) developing collaborativeproblem solving abilities, and 2) developing a working knowledge of language and skills of thetopic.

We ask students to informally sketch a few diagrams: functional block, me-chanical and/or electrical, and user interaction.
