Improving the Performance and Satisfaction of Students in Embedded Systems with PBL Approach

In the under graduate studies, teaching the concepts in the course on Embedded Systems has been always challenge for the faculty. Performance of many students is not up to mark as well as the joy of learning is also not observed in them. This paper is based on the experiments carried out with Project Based Learning (PBL) approach with Rubric’s reviews. The study developed a method of self-learning to apply core electronics knowledge to increase student performance and keen interest in Microcontrollers and its applications. The new design method consists of eight-week PBL strategy to work in group of three students to solve real-world problems. The student’s quality results were improved by 8 % and overall performance in scaled up by 29% as compared to successive previous two years. Also, the feedback from the students shows satisfaction as well as joy of learnin

Project based learning curriculum in microelectronics engineering

In this paper, the student-centered pedagogical program used in the School of Electrical Engineering with a case study illustrating and describing the project-based curriculum in microelectronics is described. A case study project also described in the paper shows that the project-based learning method engages students in a deeper learning where not only emphasis is given to the final product, but also the process to get there
