The universities,community colleges, and the public schools in this collaboration each have similar goals, since Page 24.27.2each of them teach robotics, embedded systems, and other supporting technology courses. Thisinstruction can teach a great deal of the same common material at the different levels. One of thegoals of the collaborative process is to build on what instructors at each previous level areteaching, and then further the students’ education without having to cover the same topics again.Figure 1 depicts the relationships between the technology platform described in this educationalproject in the

The measured mechanical properties through lab exercisesinclude temperature, pressure, strain, and frequency of dynamic systems.Since the outputs of the sensors/transducers used for the lab exercises are voltages, a digitalmultimeter or an oscilloscope is utilized as a readout device. Then, students convert the basic labexercises to computer-based data acquisition systems using their own LabVIEW programs tomeasure and calibrate the sensor/transducer outputs. LabVIEW is short for LABoratory VirtualInstrument Engineering Workbench.

www.slayte.com Changes of Project Based Learning Effectiveness due to the COVID-19 PandemicAbstract Project based learning (PBL) is an effective student-centered method to improve students’understanding. However, most PBL learning techniques rely heavily on a sequence of activitieswhich require interaction with other humans or components and equipment in the laboratory. Formany years, this method has proven effective and reliable particularly in STEM education. During the year when COVID-19 hit the world, PBL based education was implemented in thesame exact manner as previous years to teach a course in electronics to senior students in highschool. However, remarkable deterioration was observed in students
