note = "Funding Information: This studio is equipped with ten PC-based laboratory stations that serve groups of two to three students. Each computer is supported by MS Office (Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, Washington), as well as MATLAB, Simulink (The Mathworks, Natick, Massachusetts), and LabVIEW (National Instruments, Austin, Texas) software. These have been selected by NJIT as core technologies for undergraduate education. Each studio computer has a large-screen monitor, a National Instruments data acquisition card, two channels of Grass (Grass-Telefactor, Inc., West Warwick, Rhode Island) bioamplifiers, and two channels of strain gauge amplifiers. Laboratory stations have oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, multimeters, and small tools. The selection of Grass amplifiers instead of an educationally oriented system such as Biopac, provides access to research-quality instrumentation that is common in faculty and industrial laboratories (Figure 1). This facilitates a seamless transfer of technical Funding Information: The authors acknowledge the support of the Whitaker Foundation in the planning of the studio courses and the design of the studios, the NSF for studio course development, and the New",
