DESCRIPTION:The IEEE German Jordanian University (GJU) Student Branch\, in 
 collaboration with MCC (Microcontrollers Corporation)\, hosted the MCC Rob
 otics on Prosthetics Workshop on November 11\, 2026\, bringing together el
 ectronics\, biomedical engineering\, and robotics in an interactive hands-
 on experience.\n\nThroughout the workshop\, participants explored how embe
 dded systems and biomedical signals can be used to develop assistive techn
 ologies\, with a particular focus on robotic prosthetic limbs.\n\nWorkshop
  Highlights\n\n1. Embedded Systems &amp; Arduino\nParticipants were introduced
  to microcontroller architecture\, Arduino Uno\, electronic components\, a
 nd programming fundamentals\, including digital and analog signals\, input
 /output control\, and debugging.\n\n2. Biomedical Engineering &amp; EMG\nThe s
 ession explored how electrical signals generated by human muscles can be d
 etected and used to control prosthetic devices. Participants learned about
  sEMG sensors\, electrode placement\, signal processing\, and noise reduct
 ion.\n\n3. Prosthetics &amp; Robotic Control\nParticipants learned about the d
 evelopment of prosthetic limbs\, different prosthetic technologies\, mecha
 nical components\, and control methods\, from traditional systems to moder
 n myoelectric solutions.\n\n4. Hands-on Prosthetic Arm Assembly\nThe works
 hop concluded with a practical activity where participants worked with Ard
 uino boards and SG90 servo motors\, applying PWM control to assemble and p
 rogram a functional robotic prosthetic arm.\n\nInstructors\n\nThe workshop
  was delivered by the MCC team:\n\n-\nOmar Salman\n\n-\nMohammad Khalaf\n\
 nThrough this experience\, participants gained practical exposure to the c
 onnection between electronics\, programming\, and biomedical applications\
 , while exploring how engineering can contribute to improving people&#39;s liv
 es through assistive technologies.\n\nRoom: 007\, Bldg: E\, Amman \, Jorda
