Applied STEM

Many people start learning electronics by watching videos or reading tutorials, but real understanding only comes from building, testing, and experimenting. This Introductory Electronics & Mechatronics Program gives you that essential hands-on experience right from the start.

Instead of passively learning theory, you’ll create real circuits, explore how components work together, and bring simple systems to life. Whether you’re completely new to electronics or just curious about how everyday devices work, this program helps you turn curiosity into practical skills.

Throughout the course, you’ll work with the Lab-On-The-Go hardware kit and a set of guided projects that introduce you to the core ideas of electric circuits, sensors, actuators, and microcontrollers. You’ll learn not just to connect wires, but to think like an engineer—experiment, observe, and solve problems creatively.

As you build, you’ll also learn how to document your projects like a real engineer. You’ll practice writing short technical reports, organizing data and results, and even presenting your creations through media posts or digital portfolios.

By the end of the program, you’ll have more than just technical knowledge. You’ll have a full set of practical, creative, and communication skills that prepare you for deeper studies in electronics, robotics, or engineering.

Program Duration & Certification

• Total estimated time: 80–120 hours, depending on your pace.
• Certification: Completing the full program earns you a comprehensive certificate.

The program is organized into several key domains:

•  Circuit Basics – Learn the fundamentals of electricity, voltage, current, and resistance through hands-on circuit building.
• Sensors  – Explore how electronics interact with the environment using light, sound, and motion sensors, plus motors and buzzers.
• Microcontroller Introduction – Learn simple programming to control circuits and understand how hardware and software work together.
• Mechatronics Foundations – Combine electronics and mechanics to create small systems like robotic hands or smart devices.
• Project Design and Documentation – Apply your knowledge to a mini project while learning to record data, analyze results, and present your work professionally.

Achievements Along the Way

As you progress through the program, you’ll complete three key stages of learning and creation. Each stage focuses on building both your technical and communication skills, helping you grow from a beginner to a confident maker who can present ideas professionally.

Stage 1 – Circuit Builder
• Learn basic electronic concepts and build simple circuits on a breadboard.
• Create your first mini project using fundamental components.
• Share your work publicly — we encourage students to post their projects on LinkedIn, where you can start showcasing your skills early and build a professional presence.

Stage 2 – System Designer
• Develop more complex projects that involve sensors, actuators, or a microcontroller.
• Learn to organize and visualize your work by designing a project poster, similar to what’s used in science fairs or research conferences.
• Practice presenting your design process, results, and what you’ve learned.

Stage 3 – Innovator
• Apply your skills to create a comprehensive project aimed at solving a real-world problem or refining an existing design.
• Develop a functional prototype, supported by data and testing.
• Write a technical report that documents your methodology, results, discussion, and potential improvements — just like professional engineers and researchers.

By the end of the program, you won’t just have built circuits — you’ll have developed a complete set of engineering, communication, and presentation skills that prepare you for future studies, competitions, or career opportunities.
