Abstract
  • This study investigates the necessity for enhanced teaching aids in the Embedded Robotics course at Politeknik Ungku Omar, with a particular focus on addressing the challenges students face in mastering programming and electronic circuits comprehension. Embedded Robotics, which combines the intricacies of software coding and hardware integration, demands a strong understanding of both programming logic and electronic circuit design. However, the complexity of these subjects often poses significant learning barriers to students, leading to a demand for more effective instructional tools. A quantitative survey was conducted with 68 students enrolled in the course to assess their satisfaction with the current teaching aids and to identify specific areas where improvements are needed. The findings indicate that while students are generally satisfied with the existing teaching resources, there is a pronounced need for more interactive, AI-integrated, and digitally accessible teaching aids that can facilitate a deeper understanding of programming and circuit design. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of incorporating practical, industry-aligned features into teaching aids to better prepare students for real-world applications. These insights underscore the critical role of advanced technological tools in enhancing students' comprehension and application of complex concepts in Embedded Robotics, ultimately contributing to improved educational outcomes and industry readiness.
