This workshop falls under a special topic course, "Instrumentation and Measurements," as part of the students' program requirements. Eng. Yousuf Faroukh from the SAASST CubeSat Laboratory conducted the workshop. This initiative by Prof. Tahar Laoui from MENE enhances collaboration between SAASST and MENE in training students.

The workshop introduced students to basic theories in analog and digital signals, microcontrollers, signal processing, and how instruments work and perform measurements. The students used an Arduino microcontroller platform to apply the theoretical knowledge gained inside the classroom to practical skills. The students experimented with light-dependent resistors to simulate attitude determination and control systems onboard many satellites, including the Sharjah-Sat-1 CubeSat. This workshop will be useful in their future career for building engineering skills.
