DEVELOPMENT OF A MICROCONTROLLER LABORATORY TRAINER MODULE FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS

The knowledge of microcontrollers to engineering students is essential since it will help them in the development of their prototypes for their design projects. The idea of this study was to develop a laboratory trainer board using the Arduino microcontroller kit. The developed laboratory trainer module covers sensors, motor, Bluetooth modules, switches, and displays. The laboratory module evaluation was assessed through the finished projects using the trainer module. Students were given a survey questionnaire after performing experiments. Based on the results, the microcontroller trainer module was essential in helping students learn hardware programming and microcontroller interfacing.
