NEW! 2-DAY PIC Microcontroller:Hands-On.
This two-day course aims to equip participants with the fundamental understanding and skills needed to construct and program a microcontroller. During the hands-on session, participants are given opportunities to build and program their own PIC circuits from scratch, sharpen their programming skill in Assembly and C languages while unleashing their creativity in developing variety of programs. Elementary to intermediate projects such as motor control are introduced. Participants are also guided in datasheet interpretation, circuit troubleshooting and components selection. This course is one of the popular short courses in UTM conducted by an experienced roboticist, Dr Yeong Che Fai. The course has previously been organised since 2003 for lecturers, researchers, postgraduates and undergraduates from various universities, polytechnics and colleges nationwide, and has evolved over the years to provide an effective platform for participants to learn about microcontroller via carefully designed hands-on tasks.

Dr Yeong Che Fai is currently a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, UTM. He graduated with PhD in Bioengineering from Imperial College London, in 2010. He has been teaching the microcontroller subject since 2003, and has experience with different types of microcontroller including ATMEL, Microchip PIC, Motorola, Philips and Arduino.
His name is well-associated with robotics in Malaysia as he has participated and won many invention competitions nationally and internationally. Recently, he has guided a team to win MyInovasi 2012 competition worth RM50K where the invention is Robot Rehabilitation. He also has won First Prize two years back to back (2011 and 2012) on Innopitch Competition organised by ICC, UTM. Both the pitching contents are related to embedded system. He also won the Best Performance in the Innopitch Competition 2012 that won him a trip to California, USA.

He has been team instructor and team advisor for UTM Robocon team for 8 years. Dr Yeong has led the UTM/ Malaysian Robocon team to win national champion titles and represented Malaysia in the Asia-Pacific Robot contest in Thailand (2003), Korea (2004), China (2005), Malaysia (2006), Thailand (2011) and recently Hong Kong (2012). He has also won champion titles in national Robot Climb (2002 & 2004), Robot Grab (2004) and Robot Partner (2004) competitions. Dr Yeong also led several teams to Philips Young Inventors’ Challenge competition and won the competition two years in a row in 2004 and 2005. All winning inventions were gadgets that utilized microcontroller.
Dr Yeong also has a UTM spin-off company (http://www.dfautomation.com) to commercialize his research work. In short, Dr Yeong has practical experiences incorporating microcontroller for various applications ranging from simple to advanced embedded system.
