INTRODUCTIONThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 fundamentally disrupted educational systems worldwide,forcing a sudden shift from in-person to remote learning. For engineering disciplines likeembedded systems, which rely heavily on hands-on laboratory work and real-time hardware-software integration, this transition posed unique and significant challenges.

However, theory is alsoemphasized in order to allow students to adjust to whatever tools a company or laboratory maydemand. Furthermore, the class emphasizes the theory behind “rules of thumb” in order to allowstudents to make educated decisions in the design process.

While often simply defined as "learning bydoing," experiential learning encompasses a rich variety of approaches including project-basedwork, community engagement, design challenges, laboratory investigations, and problem-basedlearning. What distinguishes these educational experiences is their open-ended, authenticnature—they provide structured scaffolding but lack predetermined solutions or pathways,mirroring the complexity students will encounter in professional practice.The impact of experiential learning in engineering education is particularly significant, as itbridges the persistent gap between theory and practice.
