Full Paper: The Biola Uno Project; A cost-friendly and Experience-enriching Learning Module for Introductory Embedded SystemsAbstract:The purpose of the Biola Uno Project is to provide an engineering curriculum that bridges analogand digital circuits courses for pre-engineering students. In the engineering coursework, digitalcircuits and embedded systems are highly valuable subjects for many students and apply tofuture classes such as mechatronics or introductory robotics. In embedded system courses,students may usually assume a “black box” and make technical assumptions of an overall circuitdesign. Typical digital circuit courses fail to cover material that deals with the actual build of themicrocontroller, which is a
