“Hands-on activities” with emergent technology is
being integrated into the curriculum of Electrical Engineering
education. This mapping study carry out an overview of the
evidence of the Making movement using emergent technology
in Electrical Engineering education. Primary studies in the
literature were selected, classified and analysed according
to the type of technology used and, the design-based research
(DBR) intervention. 20 primary studies were identified. Making
related to activities with Robotics is the application most used
at the undergraduate level. The most of the studies reported
