摘要
This Work in Progress presents a novel initiative in electronics education at Universidad Distrital Engineering Faculty in Bogota, Colombia, focusing on interdisciplinary collaborative learning between Digital Design with Microcontrollers (DDuC) and Analog Electronics 1 (Ele1) sixth and third semester students, respectively. The research aims to establish a student-centered collaboration and tutoring strategy through the design and implementation of simple electronics laboratory instrument projects, based on AVR and PIC18F Microchip's microcontroller units (MCU) and Arduino compatible development systems. Grounded in constructivist and project- based learning theories, the approach fosters active knowledge construction among Ele1 students, who use measurement instruments designed and mentored by advanced DDuC students, promoting early familiarity between disciplines. The research leverages technology-mediated learning, using embedded systems, and the MOODLE Learning Management System (LMS) to facilitate collaborative activities. It also addresses inclusive pedagogy, verifying the effectiveness of supplementary tutoring by advanced students alongside traditional instructor guidance. This approach accommodates diverse learning styles, contributing to a more equitable and effective learning experience. From an experiential learning perspective, Ele1 students can verify theoretical concepts outside the laboratory, deepening their understanding and DDuC students get familiar with design and implementation of real embedded system products under final user requirements and their support. In summary, this Work in Progress introduces an interdisciplinary collaborative learning model with the potential to shape the future of electronics education by fostering a holistic and inclusive learning environment.
