Abstract :
Industrial Microcontroller is an area which is widely used worldwide particularly in the industry. The Microcontroller is also one of the subjects offered at universities and colleges of Science, vocational, engineering and technology. Normally, the learning method practiced in this subject is by referring to the related handbooks and textbooks. This method requires the students to memorize the tough technical terms, and typically students neglect the actual purpose of the terms used in Microcontroller subject. The aim of this paper is to observe the implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in engineering field in order to promote lifelong learning in conveying knowledge about engineering.
