The Centre in Computer Engineering Studies at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has developed and built the Intel 8051 Trainer and Application Board that is used by the students at the faculty as a learning tool. This microcontroller is taught in the Microprocessor System course and is available in the Software Application Laboratory. This paper presents the major components of the laboratory exercises and describes each component used as hands-on experiments for teaching 8051 Intel Microcontroller System. Sample of student's output of hands-on experiment is also illustrated.
Programming is a core subject in many engineering courses. Improvement of programming pedagogy is an active research area with researchers exploring various angles to the issue. This paper presents some findings on Electrical Engineering students' opinions regarding the programming subject that they have taken in their second discover the programming background experience of the students, their interests towards the subject and their opinions on how the subject is conducted in university. The findings of this paper will be used to help improve the delivery and improve stud subject. Programming is a core subject in many engineering courses.
