This allowed for re-visioning of the traditional educational model by including co-teaching and group reflections as a core component of the experience.

Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and

Duringacademic terms, students have the option of enrolling in a student leadership program15 (thatencompasses teamwork skills), but, again, only a small portion of engineering students choose todo so. For a majority of students, a
