Arduino kits were used in place of general microcontrollers in a mechatronics course. The hand-on learning environment were mostly self-learned with provided learning kits, tutorials and examples from online resources with lecturers as facilitators. Efficient learning could be achieved with 20-30 students in groups of 4 or 5 against 1 lecturer. The theory was assessed by a written exam from which comparable performances to previous years were observed. The learning kits were also used for the semester project in which students had a limited budget for parts and access to a small-scale manufacturing facility.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
