Trainers
Mr Tan Woei Ming is the trainer for Tertiary Courses' Arduino, IoT and ROS courses, and he brings a strong electronics foundation to the workbench. He graduated with First-Class Honours in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from NTU, then completed a Master of Intelligent Systems at NUS, linking hardware design with the intelligence that lets machines sense and respond to their surroundings. His industry experience comes from Micron Technology, where he was a Data Scientist and later Data Science Lead, leading AI initiatives in predictive analytics, automation and process optimisation in the semiconductor and manufacturing industries. Today he is an Instructor, Software Developer and Agentic Automation specialist at Tertiary Infotech, and an ACLP-certified trainer who teaches electronics in a clear, step-by-step way. His teaching moves steadily from fundamentals to complete working circuits.
This WSQ course teaches practical electronics design around the Arduino microcontroller, with robotics-style sensing and control as a recurring theme. Mr Tan starts with embedded systems and their applications, introduces the Arduino board and sets up serial communication so learners can see what their circuits are doing. He then covers basic electronics concepts, digital input and output, and pulse width modulation, before moving to analog sensors and transducers, analog input and output, and servo control. Later topics explore digital sensors, including light activation by motion detection, and actuators such as stepper motors, building towards the sensing and control found in simple robots. Mr Tan's engineering training shows in how he explains why each circuit behaves as it does, not just how to wire it, and he coaches learners through debugging when things do not work first time. By the end, participants can design, program and test their own Arduino-based electronics projects.
Ken Yuen is an ACTA-certified trainer and STEM educator specialising in embedded systems, IoT and automation. He has conducted WSQ and SkillsFuture courses on Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Node-RED, Python and C programming, training adults as well as students across more than 50 schools. As a technical consultant he developed IoT-based SCADA and monitoring systems for semiconductor and industrial clients. He has an electrical and electronics engineering background from NTU and is an MOE-registered instructor.
In WSQ - Practical Electronics Design with Arduino Microcontroller, Ken emphasises learner-friendly, hands-on experimentation. His sessions cover microcontroller setup, GPIO interfacing and coding for sensors and actuators, following the course from an introduction to embedded systems, the Arduino and serial communication through basic electronics, digital input and output and pulse width modulation. Learners then work with analog and digital sensors and transducers, servo control and actuators to build working circuits. By blending STEM teaching with real-world IoT and automation applications, Ken helps participants gain the confidence to design and build Arduino projects for both learning and workplace innovation.
Richard Wan is an ACLP-certified lecturer with more than 40 years of experience in embedded systems, software and hardware development. A government scholar, he earned his Master's in Computer Vision and Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He co-founded SGX-listed Mediaring Ltd and E-Book Systems, and has taught extensively in Python, C/C++, embedded programming and computer vision. His Arduino training focuses on embedded systems, programming and circuit design.
In WSQ Practical Electronics Design with Arduino Microcontroller, Richard takes learners from an introduction to embedded systems and the Arduino microcontroller, including serial communication, through basic electronics concepts, digital input/output and pulse width modulation (PWM). Participants then work with analog sensors and transducers, analog input/output and servo control, move on to digital sensors and transducers such as motion-activated lighting, and finish with actuator networks and stepper motor control. His sessions combine microcontroller coding, electronic interfacing and hands-on builds that prepare learners to design their own Arduino-based applications. With his deep technical expertise and entrepreneurial background, he gives learners both foundational knowledge and innovative applications of Arduino.
Ferris Kwok is an electronic prototyping specialist with more than 30 years of experience in electronics, coding and robotics. As founder of 3E Gadgets, he has delivered engineering solutions for commercial clients including Changi Airport and the Singapore Science Centre, and he has represented Singapore at Maker Faire events around the world, showcasing his expertise in electronics innovation and education. His teaching is grounded in this real project work, linking the concepts he covers to systems he has designed and built, and he emphasises practical, hands-on prototyping in all of his Arduino training.
In Practical Electronics Design with Arduino Microcontroller, Ferris guides learners through circuit design, sensor integration and microcontroller programming. Participants begin with an overview of embedded systems and their applications, an introduction to the Arduino microcontroller and serial communication. They then build a foundation in basic electronics, including digital input and output and pulse width modulation, before working with analog sensors, transducers and servo control, and with digital sensors and transducers. With his strong industry and maker community background, Ferris helps participants bridge theory and real-world application, so they leave able to confidently design and build their own electronic and robotics projects with Arduino.
Shahul Hameed Maricar is a certified ACLP trainer and MOE instructor with over a decade of experience in systems integration, product design and technical training, with particular depth in embedded systems, mechatronics and software integration. He has conducted WSQ and corporate training in Arduino, Micro:bit, Python and JavaScript, as well as web and product design courses. With a background in laboratory research at NUS and in curriculum development for STEM education, he has equipped learners from schools to working professionals with applied technical skills. He programmes in Python, JavaScript and C++ and uses Fusion 360 and Blender to integrate digital and physical product development in his teaching.
In WSQ - Practical Electronics Design with Arduino Microcontroller, Shahul focuses on making electronics design accessible for beginners. Learners are introduced to embedded systems and their applications, the Arduino microcontroller and serial communication, before covering basic electronics concepts, digital input and output, and pulse width modulation. They then work with analogue sensors and transducers and servo control, applying these skills to robotics tasks such as movement and obstacle detection. His sessions combine circuit building, Arduino IDE programming and prototyping exercises. Participants leave able to build functional electronic and robotic projects and to apply Arduino confidently to solve real-world problems.
