“…In recent years, hands-on learning techniques such as problem-based and project-based learning (PBL) have become highly sought after in the engineering classroom (Maskell & Grabau, May 1998) (Hamblen, Aug. 2008) (Kim & Jeon, Feb. 2009) (Kim J. , Feb. 2012) (Kumar, Fernando, & Panicker, Nov. 2013) (Hu, Li, & Chen, Feb. 2015). Since its introduction, project-based learning has shown to greatly impact students' knowledge of core concepts taught in the classes and takes this learning further by allowing students to apply this knowledge to real-world applications.…”

Exposing engineering students during their education to real-world problems and giving them the chance to apply what they learn in the classroom is a vital element of engineering education. The Embedded Systems course at Princess Sumaya University for Technology (PSUT) is one of the main courses that bridge the gap between theoretical electrical engineering education and the real-world. This paper presents the experience of applying project-based learning to enhance teaching the Embedded Systems course at PSUT. The feedback from students illustrated the effectiveness of this method in enhancing the understanding and the ability of students in applying embedded systems design concepts to solve real-world engineering problems.

“…Students are asked to make their own microprocessor control board by performing schematic & PCB artwork drawing and board fabrication & assembly. It seems like a significant amount of work, but students complete all the necessary circuit works from the microprocessor application course, developed by Prof. Kim at MJEE, in their junior year [10]. Transferring the circuit on a breadboard to actual PCB fabricated on their own is certainly an unforgettable experience for novice microelectronics engineers, and an example of student fabricated PCB is presented in Fig.…”

Microelectronic product consumers may already be expecting another paradigm shift with smarter phones over smart phones, but the current status of microelectronic manufacturing engineering education (MMEE) in universities hardly makes up the pace for such a fast moving technology paradigm shift. The purpose of MMEE is to educate fouryear university graduates to work in the microelectronics industry with up-to-date knowledge and self-motivation. In this paper, we present a comprehensive curriculum for a four-year university degree program in the area of microelectronics manufacturing. Three hands-on experienced-based courses are proposed, along with a methodology for undergraduate students to acquire hands-on experience, towards integrated circuits (ICs) design, fabrication and packaging, are presented in consideration of manufacturing engineering education. Semiconductor device and circuit design course for junior level is designed to cover how designed circuits progress to micro-fabrication by practicing full customization of the layout of digital circuits. Hands-on experienced-based semiconductor fabrication courses are composed to enhance students' motivation to participate in self-motivated semiconductor fab activities by performing a series of collaborations. Finally, the Microelectronics Packaging course provides greater possibilities of mastered skillsets in the area of microelectronics manufacturing with the fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and board level assembly for microprocessor applications. The evaluation of the presented comprehensive curriculum was performed with a students' survey. All the students responded with "Strongly Agree" or "Agree" for the manufacturing related courses. Through the development and application of the presented curriculum for the past six years, we are convinced that students' confidence in obtaining their desired jobs or choosing higher degrees in the area of microelectronics manufacturing was increased. We confirmed that the hypothesis on the inclusion of handson experience-based courses for MMEE is beneficial to enhancing the motivation for learning.

“…The survey was conducted on a voluntary and anonymous basis, using the electronic forms tool of Google. Based on the methodology employed in earlier work [3,5,11,14], the electronic form contained five statements (shown in to five levels of agreement. This format type, known as a psychometric response scale, is widely used in questionnaires where the interviewee is required to grade items according to their degree of importance.…”

“…A feature in common is the integration of one or more courses of the academic programme during the development of the project [1][2][3][4]10]. The studies presented in [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] describe various methodologies for the application of PRBL in the teaching of ES. The results of opinion surveys conducted in these works demonstrated greater motivation of the students as well as qualitative improvements in learning.…”

This paper presents a project-based learning laboratory for the teaching of embedded systems. The main objectives are to encourage students studying the embedded systems course in developing hardware solutions for real engineering problems and to include aspects of other courses studied within the academic programmes. One of the aims of project-based learning (PRBL) is to integrate different courses in the achievement of a common objective, within a multidisciplinary course of the academic programme. In the present case, this module is the final project of the embedded systems course. The project in question concerns a temperature control system for an industrial drier, equipped with a remote system for configuration and data acquisition. The design of the drier, as well as elaboration of the entire electronic system involving drivers and sensors, was undertaken by the students using a kit with a microcontroller specific for the development of embedded systems. The results of opinion surveys conducted with the students following implementation of the PRBL proposal were used to validate the procedure. Full details of the development and results of the project are provided, with the aim of assisting professors and students of similar courses.
