, microprocessor programming and control is explored through softwarekernel creation and stepper motors. A vertical positioning system with human/machine interface,representative of a passenger elevator with drive motor and operator panel, is created using ascale bench top platform. The third experiment allows students to characterize and regulate thethermal behavior in electronic equipment through the application of thermistors, fans, and heatsinks. One common thread to all experiments is the close collaboration among student teammembers. Finally, to improve the overall course quality, a supplemental assessment tool has beenintroduced to gather student feedback regarding the experiments.1.

. First, we discuss the selection of the CI and the pre-classpreparation required. Next, we comment on how the CI was integrated into all classactivities. Finally, we provide an assessment of this approach in terms of a survey givento the undergraduate students who were taking this class.Co-Instructor PreparationIt must be noted at this point that the approach we have used here is not applicable for allstudents (and faculty, for that matter) and all courses. Hence, potential CIs must bechosen according to two minimal, yet necessary, criteria. First, the CI must have takenthe class already (or its equivalent) at some point during their career. Second, and mostimportant, is that the student must be interested in teaching with, perhaps, an eye
