This is a departure from the way this course has been run in the past inour department, where the school maintained a set of microcontrollers that were onlyavailable during the laboratory sessions. However, due to the desire to incorporate aquarter-long project and potentially longer laboratory assignments, restricting the use ofthe Arduino boards to laboratory sessions was not feasible, so students were required topurchase their own boards. Costs were kept in line with previous iterations of the courseby requiring a much cheaper textbook, however.The following

Engineering EducationUnfortunately, engineering educators teaching in developing countries often do not havethe resources to participate in such conferences. Travel expenses, conference registrationfees, and on-site expenses are typically beyond their means. This often leads to a steadydecline in their effectiveness as faculty members, as they fall increasingly behind newdevelopments in engineering education.Based on prior experience of the National Technological University, sufficient electroniccommunication technologies exist, at least in capital cities throughout the developingworld, to allow participation in an electronic conference, so that engineering educatorsthere are able to participate readily.

All students must take Chemistry I, which has alab component, for gaining the associated experimental skills. Students then may take the secondcourse in the sequence with or without the lab component. The latter option is for those, who areinterested in acquiring more laboratory skills. Further, as the courses with lab component areoffered every semester as opposed to the limited offering of the course without the labcomponent, several students prefer the latter sequence.Several courses in the major also contain the basic-sciences
