Surveys showed that thiswas due to the fact that the laboratory experiments were topic specific and did not present asystem design approach which made it difficult for students who attempted to use thismicrocontroller [1]. A new platform, the C-Stamp microcontroller, was introduced as analternative for their design. This development boards provide a pre-assembled hardware platform,which include common peripheries in addition to programming libraries. These benefitsencouraged some students to implement the C-Stamp microcontroller in their senior designprojects with fairly successful outcomes [1]. The

This objective has been established as aconsequence of repeated curriculum reforms since 1997.Before 1997, these laboratory courses were targeted on letting students experience the mainengineering phenomena and to teach them how to use instrumentation. Instructors designedan experiment and prepared everything for it prior to the classes, and students studied witha textbook beforehand and conducted the arranged experiment in class. This method helpedstudents to experience various engineering phenomena efficiently but did not build theirability to update their knowledge and seek new knowledge and

The first area is toprovide engineering consultations by members of the teaching staff to the industry (mainly in theprivate sector). In addition, the College has established industrial advisory committees for theindividual departments and the College at large to get continuous feedback from its stakeholders;the members of these committees are selected from both the governmental and the industrialsectors.
