Abstract

The paper outlines the views on effective implementation of project-based learning through microcontroller theory course. Project based learning imparted in microcontroller course has enabled the students to imbibe higher order thinking, problem solving ability, time management, leadership & teamwork. Through PBL students interact and learn by doing with others. It also offers teachers the chance to develop relationships with their students by serving as their facilitator for hands-on learning. The course project introduces students to the field of embedded systems where students will familiarize themselves with relevant technical vocabulary and learn about future opportunities in embedded design.
