iCar CE Workshop and Competition



The RP-Xilinx Programmable Logic Solutions Joint Laboratory and Electronics Hobby Interest Group (EHIG) have successfully conducted iCar CE workshops and competition.

The students from EHIG were trained to construct and program the FPGA-based microcontroller for vehicle navigation. These students in-turn, were amazingly good student facilitators for their peers who had signed up for the iCar competition.

We are very proud of the student facilitators from EHIG group. They are worthy representation of students, emerging with positive characteristics fostered by RP-PBL pedagogy. They were able to deal very well with ad-hoc situations, to manage the big group of student participants and to help them with their technical problems. These were achieved with minimal intervention from staff facilitators. Thumbs up for them! J

It is most heartening to witness that the students had enjoyed the learning process, which was evident from the smiles on their faces, and laughter heard throughout the event. The top winner team was awarded the Spartan 3A Development Kit and souvenirs, proudly sponsored by Avnet Asia Pte Ltd.
