Student Engagement in Electronics through Microcontroller Experiential Learning
Aim: Provide a series of student led workshops based on the Arduino microcontroller board.
This is an opportunity to learn Arduino (not taught at the School of Engineering) and enhance students programming skills. The project involves student “mentors” (20%) with knowledge in microcontrollers and programming and student “learners” (80%). This student led teaching approach is expected to improve the student communication skills and their confidence in tackling unfamiliar problems. The project will enable them to identify more career/innovation opportunities in multidisciplinary fields.
