Work in Progress: Development of a Modular and Integrated Electronic Kit for First-Year Engineering

This paper presents the Portable Engineering Experimenter Board (PEEB), a custom-designed laboratory kit developed for first-year engineering students to foster foundational engineering skills. With an integrated, modular approach, PEEB empowers students to explore digital logic, analog and digital sensors, breadboarding, and programming in a cohesive learning environment. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the design and classroom integration of custom-built technology within a spiral curriculum framework, enhancing concept reinforcement over time. Findings provide insights from a teaching perspective on its effectiveness in promoting hands-on learning and achieving learning outcomes.
