The goal of this multidisciplinary project-based laboratory course is to provide instruction on data acquisition, system-level integration and design through a range of hands-on activities that complement the traditional classroom experience. This includes circuit prototyping, PCB fabrication, microcontrollers and C++ programming, networking, and data visualization. The main focus is on modular application development, algorithms, information management, control and actuation. In addition, emphasis is put on team work, presentation skills, time management, creativity and innovation.

1. Enhance engineering education by facilitating learning through engineering projects.
2. Review the basics of circuit building, programming concepts, computer-aided design tools, the fundamentals of microcontrollers.
3. Foster leadership and team work, with division of labor, complementary tasks, discussion and integration.
4. Develop the ability to bridge theoretical concepts and practical tasks.
5. Master elements of experiential learning such as abstract conceptualization, active experimentation, concrete experience, reflective observation.
6. Improve transferable engineering skills and the ability to integrate different concepts.
