havestudents achieve competency in business practices equivalent to the proficiencies realized inengineering subject areas. One method for achieving this is to ask students to respond to"Request for Proposal" (RFPs) in which inter- and multi-discipline design teams "compete" withalternate solutions. Corporate representatives provide realistic scenarios through activeparticipation in such courses. These "clients" require the students to use realistic projectmanagement tools and reinforce planning and economic aspects of a design without neglectingthe technical aspects of the project. While such approaches have proven successful, they neglectan important element of leadership development - the "entrepreneurial" aspect. To this end, wedescribe an

Onthe other hand, 8-bit microcontrollers from other vendors also gain significant marketshare in the last few years. The Microchip 8-bit microcontrollers are among the mostpopular microcontrollers in use today. In addition to the SPI, USART, timer functions,and A/D converter available in the 68HC11 [6], the PIC microcontrollers from Microchipalso provide peripheral functions such as CAN, I2C, and PWM.

Calibration of an orificemeter requires use of a manometer that allows us to measure the difference in fluidpressures. The differential pressures are transduced into the current signals that canbe easily interfaced by the computer through the acquisition board. The foundation of flow rate measurements is pail and scale method for our waterflow system. The water-receiving tank is sat on a built-in accurate electronic scale sothat the precise flow rate can be measured with a stopwatch.
