Both theoreticians as well as empiricists have shown thatthere are definite benefits from this type of education1.WIL is defined as an educational approach that enables students to experience relevant andauthentic work-based learning through engagement with industry and/ or community partnersas part of assessed university coursework2.WIL, as a structured education model, was started in 1904 by the University of Cincinnati incollaboration with a steel mill in the neighbourhood to meet the employability needs of itsgraduates3.

IntroductionThe increased use of microcontroller systems in solving industrial control problems has led to ageneral acceptance of microcontroller knowledge in other areas of engineering such asmechanical and biomedical engineering. An area that has normally been reserved for electrical orcomputer engineers is now multidisciplinary [1], integrating digital electronics, communications,and computing with a variety of systems ranging from medical to biological. With these newenhancements, microcontroller-based teaching has evolved over the past few decades. Thesechanges range from project-based microcontroller teaching that emphasize real worldapplications to the introduction of new educational tools such as robot kits.

In mostsections of the class, a typical class meeting consisted of a lecture in which the instructorintroduced a type of differential equation and showed the students how to identify and solve thattype of differential equation. The students then completed a worksheet that had them repeat theprocess that the professor just demonstrated on one or more examples of that type of differentialequation. In short, students were trained to be good at mimicking a process and identifying whento use that process.

Worse, some commercialequipment lends itself to cookbook type experiments that require limited student interaction, orhave little flexibility.
