Other laboratories require physicaltesting and experimentation methods that cannot be conducted remotely. The first type might includecircuit laboratories like VELVET; materials laboratories would be examples of the third type.Mechatronics laboratories would be examples of second type(a physical laboratory suitable for remotemanipulation). Laboratories which can be virtualized or made suitable for remote operation, allow moreengineering courses to be offered through distance education, thereby increasing the availability ofengineering education.

In the previousyears, about 50- 60% finished at the end of the 3 hours of lab, and requiring much more guidancefrom the instructor, students showing rudimentary hardware and software debugging skills.ConclusionsThe results of this educational research study show that the early use of programmable logicdevices, starting in the freshman year, and the unlimited access to state of the art design tools andhardware systems improve: (i) the learning process; (ii) the attainment of Digital Systems specific knowledge and skills; (iii) the proper use of technological tools; (iv) decrease students’ and instructor’s work load; (v

functions of learningartifacts, especially those of educational software (Sherin, Reiser, & Edelson, 2004).Scaffolding enables the learner to achieve goals or accomplish processes normally out of reach(Jackson, Krajcik, & Soloway, 1998). One of the scaffolding techniques is supportivescaffolding. In this type of scaffolding, a learner is guided in terms of what to consider, how tocreate associations between ideas, and how these associations form a supportive scaffoldingstructure (Hannafin, 1999; Linton, 2000). According to Cagiltay (2006), supportive scaffoldingcan be accomplished by several methods and mechanisms, such as coaching comments,providing feedback, and provoking reflection.The use of feedback is a critically important attribute

This is in part due to the exposure to these fields I was given through workingwith Student 1, a computer engineering major. We had to find a way to communicate our ideaswith respect to our different educational backgrounds, and she taught me about both herhardware and software knowledge. For example, I had never soldered before or used amicrocontroller.Throughout my time working on the project, I was better able to picture myself as an engineer inmy professional career, and I become more confident in being able to share my ideas.”From these comments it is clear that the open-ended nature of

The need to use graphics and equations in the instruction and assessment increase the challenges of this type of instruction.

As an alternativeapproach, Python script language can be used in creating programs to control microcontrollers andprocessors. In this paper, MicroPython will be reviewed and studied as a potential use inmicrocontroller and embedded system education.
