Practice and application-oriented approach in education is important and some research on active learning and cooperative problem-solving has shown that a student will learn faster and understand subject in depth. This paper describes our experience in effective teaching of 8051 Microcontrollers through course project. The course project is designed to improve students' practical thinking, logical ability and to make students, work in team. The course project is aimed at exposing students to the field of embedded systems, and will provide a knowledge foundation which will enable students to pursue subsequent courses in real-time embedded systems software and computer design. Students will become familiar with the associated technical vocabulary and will learn about potential career opportunities in the field of embedded system design.

In this paper we present our experience in using a new approach for teaching 8051 microcontroller course and it's associated laboratory.

Abstract


Practice and application-oriented approach in education is important and some research on active learning and cooperative problem-solving has shown that a student will learn faster and understand subject in depth. This paper describes our experience in effective teaching of 8051 Microcontrollers through course project. The course project is designed to improve students' practical thinking, logical ability and to make students, work in team. The course project is aimed at exposing students to the field of embedded systems, and will provide a knowledge foundation which will enable students to pursue subsequent courses in real-time embedded systems software and computer design. Students will become familiar with the associated technical vocabulary and will learn about potential career opportunities in the field of embedded system design.

In this paper we present our experience in using a new approach for teaching 8051 microcontroller course and it's associated laboratory.
