This paper is aimed to analyze the use of microcontroller prototyping board to assist on engineering and technology courses, engaging students in discussions and debates about its contribution to teaching and learning. The Microcontroller used, Arduino, is often referred as physical computing, as it can interact with the physical world that makes it easy for you to explore. This project is focused on creating a prototype (RC vehicle), which is driven by the microcontroller Arduino Uno Rev 3, loaded with the code that is the bridge between the user and the hardware that communicates through an Android platform interface based on the programming skills of students from the 1st year of computer science at a private university in São Paulo.
