Students demonstrate Arduino projects in electrical engineering class
Summary
An electrical engineering class showcased student projects using Arduino boards and C++ programming, with examples ranging from simple robotic hands to temperature sensors and motor control.
An instructor described an electrical engineering unit in which students learn basic electrical concepts and then program Arduino boards in C++ (or block-style code for younger learners) to control sensors, motors and other inputs and outputs. Student projects included simple artificial-hand prototypes and temperature-sensing devices.
The presenter said the class required students to design a project using at least two inputs and two outputs and emphasized the applied, project-based learning benefits of hands-on CTE instruction. Board members praised the work and noted the value of offering programming and engineering exposure to students at the secondary level.
