required for all Civil Engineering students in Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE)at Michigan Technological University (Michigan Tech). Typical enrollment is 60 students.Many students have had limited exposure to construction so their understanding of industryterminology may be limited. In order to bring students to some level of understanding there hasto be some terminology introduced. In addition to the Civil Engineering students taking theclass, there are usually some students from other areas such as, Environmental Engineering,Geological Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineeringand Business. Many of these non CEE students take the class because they are interested inconstruction, have worked in

Applications of digital systems in areas such as signal processing,telecommunications and high-performance computers represent plausible design problems,however, the control problems in which physical systems interact with digital systems toaccomplish certain tasks, offer in our opinion more exciting hands-on design projects than otherapplications.
