Currently, prototypes of chatbots have been tested on smallscales in the education sector where various chatbot programming platforms such as GoogleDialogFlow, and Amazon’s Alex Skills were utilized [3]. However, the frequency of use of suchchatbots has not been conclusively linked to improvement in student learning due to the lack ofcomprehensive question-answer databases [4]. 1ChatGPT is another recent advancement that looks promising.

the process of designing application programs startsfrom the individual module development through extensive testing, verification, andmodification. Applying these developed modules in a useful manner requires the links andintegrations that lead to the practical project implementation. Frequently, in students’ seniorproject designs and faculty’s research plans, the microprocessor/microcontroller resourcesbecome scarce or cause conflicts during the modules’ integration stage. To accommodate the shortfall of the resources and resolve any conflict state, severalchoices must be considered, such as the need to revise or totally rework the module, or apply themodule with additional circuit design.

many in the field are yet to be convinced of the value ofreflection methodologies in the first place. To that end, more research on the academic impact ofreflection – such as the suggestion by Turns et al. [20] mentioned above – will also be essentialto the widespread acceptance of this methodology. This need can also be inferred from the astuteobservation made by Mann et al. [12] that “the evidence to support and inform these curricularinterventions and innovations remains largely theoretical and it is unclear which approaches mayhave efficacy or impact (Andrews 2005).”The present paper seeks to offer an initial framework for obtaining data on the impact of criticalreflection strategies.
