STEM education has emerged as a critical approach for developing 21st century skills in higher education students. This paper investigates the implementation of STEM project design in computer microelectronics education, focusing on the integration of virtual simulations using Tinkercad and physical implementation with Arduino microcontrollers. The research demonstrates how this dual approach enhances students' interdisciplinary skills through project-based learning. Drawing on the theoretical foundations of experiential learning, constructionism, and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), the study analyzes the stages of STEM project implementation from problem definition to final presentation. The research reveals that the combination of virtual modeling and physical prototyping creates a comprehensive learning environment that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and technical competencies. Assessment frameworks and implementation guidelines derived from this study provide valuable insights for educators seeking to integrate STEM approaches in technical education. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of effective STEM education methodologies while addressing the specific challenges of computer microelectronics instruction in higher education settings.
