, and the “manager” was available only via email for five of those days.Students were given one laboratory session to work on their designs, but as a few groupsdiscovered, they needed time outside of class to fully implement the design, including designing,programming, and testing the design. Some design teams, especially groups who did not have amember with experience in industry, thought that their circuit would certainly work once it wasprogrammed into the chip. They had the experience of demonstrating a circuit that did not workto their customer. This gave the opportunity to discuss differences between a typical laboratoryproject (if it doesn't work, continue with assistance) and an industrial project (with a firmdeadline).After the

for any system they are asked to design,they will be expected to interact effectively with people of widely varying social and educationalbackgrounds. They will then be expected to work with people of many different technicalbackgrounds to achieve these goals. They thus need educational experiences that can help themdevelop these skills.Community service agencies face a future in which they must rely to a great extent upontechnology for the delivery, coordination, accounting, and improvement of the services theyprovide. They often possess neither the expertise to use nor the budget to design and acquire atechnological solution that is suited to their mission. They thus need the help of people withstrong technical backgrounds.Service learning

Wales and hiscolleagues believed this philosophy contained five basic principles of teaching: (1) Guide thestudents’ learning by providing them with a series of experiences that build on each other, (2)Provide opportunities for students to apply and practice skills, (3) Evaluate responses andprovide feedback, (4) Motivate or reinforce the learner, and (5) Individualize to the learner’sstyle. The goal of guided design is not to get the correct answer, but to know the process bywhich one gathers information, processes information, and arrives at an acceptable solution.8Service-learning as a curricular educational approach has existed for years in higher educationand has been embraced by the engineering field as containing the benefits of

Additionally, eachproject involves a complex laboratory experiment and use of process simulation software(HYSYS) problems.

The circuit brought additional functionalitiesto the system so that it could directly communicate with a computer and could be programmed tomove the microscope stage and lens on a pre-defined path. This circuit was developed usinginexpensive discrete components. The modified microscope required no direct hardwareintervention by the user to move the stage and the lens.
