students learning about course outcomes (Figure 1). The overall structure of this approach to PBL is that students are presented with a problem and consider what they know and what they need to know in order to address the problem. The students’ questions then drive the readings as well as lecture and laboratory content. Students then integrate what they have learned to propose a solution to the problem, communicate their result, and the cycle begins afresh. The course was designed using suggestions from “Small Teaching Online” [9]. For example, because it is easier to be isolated from classmates in an online course, a number of practices were used to support student

The project not only succeeded in adapting to theconstraints of remote learning but also demonstrated a forward-thinking approach to embeddingpractical, real-world skills in the curriculum, serving as a model for future education strategies inembedded systems and other hands-on disciplines.1. 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.

This challenge stems from the complexity of thesubject matter, limited resources for training and equipping project-based learning labs, andmisconceptions about the actual work performed in the Electrical/Electronics Technology industry.This project addresses these challenges by recognizing the importance of classroom and academicclimate in student retention [2], and the established benefits of active learning over traditionallecture-based instruction [3].
