Designing A STEM-Based Instructional Unit Using Matlab-Simulink: A Pedagogical Framework For Technical Education

Author(s) Mr. Abdo Ahmed Qaisi
Country Saudi Arabia
Abstract This paper presents a pedagogical framework for designing an integrated STEM instructional unit at the undergraduate level that leverages MATLAB-Simulink as a core teaching tool. The framework aligns with established educational theories and curriculum standards to enhance technical education through simulation-based learning. A STEM-based unit on an engineering topic is systematically developed using backward design to connect learning objectives with ABET student outcomes and authentic assessment methods. The instructional design incorporates an engineering design challenge and interdisciplinary content (mathematics, science, and engineering concepts) implemented in Simulink, fostering active learning and conceptual understanding. Emphasis is placed on student-centered pedagogies and iterative refinement, enabling learners to engage in real-world problem-solving within a risk-free, virtual environment. The unit is mapped to relevant ABET outcomes and includes rubrics for performance evaluation, ensuring outcomes-based education. The paper provides illustrative tables (unit structure, ABET alignment, assessment rubrics) and figures (conceptual design model, sample Simulink interface) to demonstrate the framework’s components. This work contributes to technical education literature by offering a robust model for integrated STEM curriculum design that combines theoretical rigor with practical simulation tools, aiming to improve student engagement, deepen understanding, and better prepare graduates for professional engineering practice.
Keywords STEM integration, simulation-based learning, MATLAB-Simulink, instructional design, technical curriculum.
