Development of Multi-Actuated Ground Vehicles: Educational aspects

Designing an Autonomous Vehicle System Design Course for COVID-19 Remote Learning under First Principles of Instruction Framework

“…The laboratory exercise is about developing communicative Arduino devices for AV systems. Upon analyzing these LOs in the draft laboratory notes, we found that they are written at an abstract level, which does not fulfil the "Show task" corollary in the FPI 1 . For example, the phrase "to use ESP8266 for network access" is ambiguous and could lead to several interpretations, and thus confusing learners (e.g.…”

“…• Students might be confused about what factors related to the performance of PV cells should be analyzed if no instructions are given at the beginning. Therefore, explicit instructions were included in order to follow "Show Task" corollary 1 : "To discover and address such dependencies, we will first: i) create a circuit with PV and the Arduino UNO, ii) inject Arduino codes to start up the voltmeter, and iii) take readings of the voltage (V) and current (I) by varying the resistance (R) with a potentiometer. "…”

“…INTRODUCTION Under the growing trend of developing smart city infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies (such as artificial intelligence and sensor systems) have been adopted to automate transportation. For example, autonomous vehicle (AV) systems [1] were empowered to interconnect with each other and move autonomously to serve requests from both human and machines. For sustainable development, the AV industry is training up more experts to participate in developing AV systems [1].…”

“…For example, autonomous vehicle (AV) systems [1] were empowered to interconnect with each other and move autonomously to serve requests from both human and machines. For sustainable development, the AV industry is training up more experts to participate in developing AV systems [1]. In order to cultivate the expertise in developing AVs and other related cross-disciplinary applications in the future, there is an emergence of modules and courses on AV system design for undergraduate engineering students.…”

“…Designing instructions for cross-disciplinary engineering project modules often aims to enhance student's creativity and develop their holistic engineering competencies. However, traditional project modules limit students' motivation to pursue a discipline due to inadequate learning hours for project development [2], lack of industrial exposure for more inspiration [1], and shallow coverage of self-reflection to substantiate students' learning experiences [3]. Some courses…”
