This show a recent version of the laboratory kit, andits name is BH EDU board kit9. Students can mount their MSP432 launchpad boards on the BH EDUboards. Students will learn about various aspects of the MSP432 applications using this BH EDUboard kit. After the completion of the Fall semester of 2019, to provide better education for thestudents for the following semester, the author decided to compile the lecture contents and to publisha book regarding this MSP432 application course.

Industry–Student Partnerships in Development and Sharing of Educational Content Involving LabVIEWAbstractThe biomedical engineering (BME) students at our university often need hardware and softwarefor data acquisition, automation and data analysis for their instrumentation laboratory classes andopen-ended design projects every semester. We have teamed with the Education Division atNational Instruments to form a collaborative partnership for the necessary resources and to createteaching material to facilitate students with their design projects. National Instruments havedonated NI ELVIS system instrumentation equipment during the 2007–2008 academic year aswell as continuous support to help students with their learning objectives
. For example, basics of grantwriting, the importance of maintaining a laboratory notebook, writing a technical report,chemical safety demonstrations or academic integrity are not addressed. At our University, wehave incorporated these topics into the seminar series in addition to presentations dealing withcultural aspects. Most of the speakers are from different departments within the University.Each seminar also included a critique (homework) submission to get the feedback on their likeand dislike about the presentations. These responses have been very positive and encouraging.Students have also expressed interest in many other topics such as time management, educationalresearch and interpersonal management. Thus, there are a number of
