The Smart Systems Engineering
Laboratory (SSEL) in the Electrical Engineering Program at the College of
Engineering at Prince Sultan University held a two-day training workshop for
students presented by Dr. Halim Farman, a researcher in the SSEL Laboratory. The
hands-on training aims to impart practical skills to the students who can start
building their prototypes. Around 25 college students, including 15 females,
participated in the hands-on training. In this workshop, participants learned
about the basics of Arduino, microcontroller, installation, and configuration
of Arduino, conditional statements, digital and analog inputs, and some small
projects such as reading room temperature, checking water level using water
sensor, and object detection using Ultrasonic sensor, enabling students to
build prototypes. At the end of the workshop, the students praised its
scientific depth and the added programming and practical capabilities,
expressing enthusiasm for future workshops.
