RT Journal Article T1 Optimizing subject design, timing, and focus in a diversity of engineering courses through the use of a low-cost Arduino shield A1 Góngora González, Andrés A1 Fernández-Madrigal, Juan Antonio A1 Cruz-Martín, Ana María A1 Arévalo-Espejo, Vicente Manuel A1 Galindo-Andrades, Cipriano A1 Sánchez-Garrido, José Carlos A1 González-Monroy, Javier A1 Fernández-de-Cañete-Rodríguez, Francisco Javier K1 Microcontroladores AB This paper describes the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel circuitry that extends thepopular Arduino UNO microcontroller board to facilitate multiple educational activities in engineeringcourses. In particular, the aim of this board, the UMA-AEB, is to minimize the overhead that is usuallyimposed on the students before they can conduct the actual exercises, yet retain the valuableexperiences that could otherwise not be acquired with simulated experiments or inflexible electronictraining-benches.
