About

Edward Miiro is a dedicated educator and researcher whose work centers on innovative pedagogical approaches in engineering and technology education, with a particular focus on project-based learning (PBL) and robotics. His most-cited paper, "A Project-based Learning approach for teaching Robotics to Undergraduates" (2014, 10 citations), exemplifies his commitment to hands-on, experiential education. In this study, Miiro designed and implemented a PBL curriculum for undergraduate business computing students, guiding them through the fundamentals of electronics, robot construction, and Arduino programming. The course culminated in students developing and testing functional robot prototypes, demonstrating the effectiveness of active learning in bridging theory and practice. This work has been influential in shaping how robotics is taught to non-engineering majors, highlighting Miiro’s contribution to making technical education accessible and engaging. His research underscores the value of integrating real-world problem-solving into the classroom, inspiring educators to adopt similar methods. Miiro’s impact, though measured in modest citation counts, resonates deeply within the field of engineering education, where his practical, student-centered approach continues to inform curriculum design and teaching strategies.
