Capacitors are used acrosseach resistor to filter out this noise, as shown in figure 1. This voltage represents the control positionand is fed into four ADC channels of Arduino to get corresponding digital values. The Arduino UNOADC has a resolution of 10 bit, means it maps input voltages between 0 and 5V into digital valuesbetween 0 and 1023; in other words, 4.9mV per unit.

, group learning, etc. However, one type of PL, group-to-group peer learning(GGPL) is not addressed in literature. GGPL can be defined as a learning method where two ormore peer groups interact to increase the knowledge of all members. Here, the scope of the workis limited to only classmates working in pairs on their lab design projects and receiving help onlyfrom other classmate pairs. This pair-to-pair peer learning (PPPL) represents the simplest form ofGGPL where group size includes only two members per group.This paper mainly addresses students’ experiences with a novel PPPL method as it is implementedin a lab setting during a lab design project encompassing two different engineering programs,mechatronics and industrial engineering.

many lab stationsclose to distance learners. The limited availability of instructors to verify students’ work hasmade it difficult for students to receive the help they need to complete projects. Multiplemethods, such as lab simulators or a remote laboratory, have been proposed and used toaddress these challenges based on the idea that simulators can replace the physicalexperiments. There are multiple software programs that enable students to design electroniccircuits. These programs contain virtual instruments such as oscilloscopes, function generators,and logic analyzers that can be used to simulate and observe the voltages and currents atvarious points of a circuit. However, no simulator can completely replace the actual hands-onlaboratory

The purpose is to educatestudents in learning the concepts of robotics. The robot will have a mixture of analog and digitalapplications. This project will help educate students on how robotics can apply in the marine and geospatialenvironments [2, 3].

) through activelearning than passive learning. Throughout our evolution, technology has been passed down bypupils imitating their mentors. This natural preference for learning is reflected in the genericlearning pyramid that was first proposed by National Teaching Laboratory Institute at theirBethel, Maine campus in the early 1960’s and the related work have been proposed by severalother researchers [31-34]. Though rightly criticized, the pyramid provides a measure of contentretention from lectures (5%), laboratory experiments (70%), and design projects (90%). Thisdisparity in content retention was recognized by the 5th century B.C Chinese proverb, “What Ihear, I forget. What I see, I remember. What I do, I understand.” ENDEAVOR harnesses

The other category of experimentsuses hand-held demonstrations or teaching aids to show qualitative behavior. The mainadvantage of these types of teaching aids is that they are inexpensive, portable, and can be usedwithin classroom lectures as a means of just-in-time reinforcement of concepts.

Indeed, as their studies delve deeper into upper division courses, matters evolvefrom conceptually straightforward (i.e., statics) to more sophisticated (deformable) andpotentially abstract (thermodynamics). Challenges can arise correcting mistaken preconceptions,and linking perceptually-abstract mathematical formulas to real-world examples. Indeed, studies[1], [2] show that students value real life applications of the material covered, and that suchapplications contribute to a deep conceptual knowledge.Western Kentucky University offers programs in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering,presented with a focus on project-based learning.
