Summary

An instructor described student electrical-engineering projects using Arduino boards and C++ (and block programming for younger students), including basic robotic hands, temperature sensors and motor/sensor integrations as examples of hands-on CTE work.

An engineering teacher described to the board how students in a classroom project used Arduino boards to program inputs and outputs and build prototypes such as basic artificial hands, temperature‑triggered systems and other sensor/motor projects. The instructor said students used C++ for programming, with block‑style interfaces for younger learners.

The teacher said the projects required students to design a plan that used at least two inputs and two outputs and that the projects helped introduce basic engineering concepts and programming skills. Board members praised the class and the practical, hands‑on exposure for students; no action was required.
