to a CMPE(computer engineering) microcontroller course in spring 2018. Thisis a new learning system with three modules, which are based onevidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization and evidence-based research strategies. Those modules are working well sinceeach module has its own strategy, which is carefully designedaccording to each student’s learning capability, progress monitoring,and systematic approach. We examined and evaluated this proposedlearning model at the UTRGV in spring 2018 and got good studentsfeedbacks. Therefore, we believe that this new learning model issuccessful for students to learn new technologies systematicallythrough three modules and strategies.References[1] D. P. F.
