Abstract
Robot design integrates concepts and techniques borrowed from a diversity of subjects such as mechanical
and electronic systems, algorithms, and programming. In addition, most students find designing robots an
enjoyable motivating activity. In this paper we report our experiences in supervising sophomore
undergraduate students during project development in the subject of embedded system design within the PBL
education at Aalborg University Esbjerg. We have found that the PBL approach in education is especially
suitable to teach embedded system design at sophomore undergraduate level. In addition, adapting the
contents of some key courses may have a significant impact on the proficiency level achieved by students on
embedded system design. Finally, challenging interesting problems, providing adequate motivation to
students, play a foremost role at improving the final outcome of their projects.
