require students to understand C (typically learned during junior year) or requirepart of the course to teach coding syntax. In order to introduce robotics and cyber-physicalsystems earlier in the curriculum, we have developed an interface to allow students to remotelycontrol a wireless microcontroller (e.g., Arduino MKR 1010) using MATLAB. This interfacecomprises two halves: 1) a MATLAB class that abstracts UDP commands transmitted over Wi-Fi, and 2) a custom C++ library for receiving, parsing, and responding to commands over UDP,as well as streaming data back to the client. The interface leverages students’ existing knowledgeof MATLAB and bypasses the need for C programming, allowing students to get early exposureto hardware-software

Good communication, as well as good teamwork, are considered professional skillsthat are highly important and sought after in engineers working in industry [3], [4], butintegrating these skills into engineering curriculum can be difficult if engineering courses focuson technical content and do not integrate these professional skills into their courses.

Additionally, the integration of physicalexperimentation with virtual simulations has the potential to improve students' educationaloutcomes [3]. Introducing simulation tools like LTSpice from Analog Devices or Multisim fromNational Instruments is almost standard practice in ECE programs. However, this introductionusually happens at the earliest on the Sophomore level during the fundamentals of circuitanalysis courses.Introducing such powerful but also complex tools at the freshman level, especially for the firstengineering course, is problematic.

On the otherhand, some improvement has been made to enhance the learning of μC or μP such as what the article[2] shows with an experiment platform, but it again doesn’t discuss any information to let studentsdesign their own processors or controllers.
