Furthermore, we designed the course to be a mostly-flippedclassroom to maximize student engagement and support. Considering that it is a hands-oncourse, we went to great lengths to make sure that the student project kits would be easilyaccessible and not require the students to utilize a laboratory environment.Related WorksWhen we consider hands-on education using embedded systems, we stand on the shoulders ofgiants.

In this age ofsmartphones and face-books direct human communication is increasingly lacking in every sphere of ourdaily existence. On top of it, this COVID-19 emergency has put new barriers of communication byenforcing ‘educational distancing’. Educational distancing is not just ‘physical distancing’! It includes‘social distancing’ as well on a live college campus. Students in Engineering, those graduating this yearor in the next year, will not have the same preparation as those who graduated a few semesters earlier.For example, the laboratory experiments online do not have the same feelings of “touch and test

Inthe review, we found that most of the outcomes could be transitioned to the on-demand coursewithout modifications.
