electrocardiography (ECG) and electromyography (EMG)signals. With the advent of real-time data acquisition and signal processing technology, it is nowmuch easier to develop instrumentation lab experiments for student use. The current hardware andsoftware enables our students to achieve highly accurate measurements, perform time domain andfrequency domain analysis, and store the data for subsequent use, analysis, and design. This paperdiscusses some of the methods developed for implementing these labs. We believe our techniqueshave greatly enhanced the ease of teaching and learning these important topics in instrumentation.1.

Industrial Engineering Technology. When these programs were initiated,little effort had been made to determine the need for the programs.II. The next stepThe exponential increase in the number of computer systems of the 1980’s and 1990’s suggestedthe need for computer hardware maintenance technicians. The tendency toward networking ofcomputers, be it intranet or the Internet, also required a support technician with the softwareskills necessary for maintaining, updating and modifying a computer network. That personwould also need skills in multimedia software and hardware. A global need for engineeringtechnologists with this training was apparent
