Electronic System Design
Objectives:
- To enhance students’ interest in science and engineering
- To introduce to students electronic system design
- To enhance students’ creativity in design
- To enhance the involvement of community (professionals and university students) in the training of students in schools
Background Info:
The programme will be based on hands-on learning approach in which school students are engaged in design projects under the guidance and mentorships of professional and university student volunteers. It is hoped that school students through their involvement in such design projects will learn more about science and engineering through hands-on process.
Mentors will go to schools on average once a week over a period of 6 months to mentor the students on their projects.
