Although, theentire activity from start to finish is carefully monitored by the instructor with continuous feedbackand grading of team-performance, independent team work and individual responsibility are alsoemphasized. This activity can be replicated in other CGT courses as well other disciplines. The resultssuggest that it can be an effective means to strengthen CG course pedagogy. This approach willfacilitate assessment of tactile learning methods in CGT course curriculum and help with a continuous‘Course Improvement Plan’. Ultimately this

inspired by theneeds of creating meaningful hands-on DSP lab experiments in the allotted one term period (tenweeks) and by the goal of improving student success in implementing DSP-based culminatingprojects that meet desired goals within realistic constraints. The benefits of integrating the MCUtools in the DSP course are very promising. It permits more practical DSP laboratories and DSP-based capstone projects that render richer design experiences and makes meeting realistic designconstraints feasible. Furthermore, it provides an integrated laboratory curriculum structurebetween embedded microcontroller and DSP courses which reduces students’ unnecessary effortof learning new tools in different courses. Consequently, students can focus more on

Triple axes accelerometers areattached to the trusses of the bridge such that the vibrations due to the bridge movements can betransmitted wirelessly using 2.4 GHz signals. The system then collects and analyzes the signalswith a receiver attached to a computer. Data logging of the bridge vibrations is implementedusing a multi-sensor data link to routinely collect the normal waveform patterns when an impulseimpact is applied to the bridge. Using the Fast Fourier transform MATLAB program, analysis ofthe waveforms yields a definite shift in the characteristic signature, when one or more of thebridge truss joints are intentionally compromised.
