Timeline

May 2018 – Feb 2019

Overview

We pilot student-centric measurement devices (myDAQ) to transfer theory directly to measurements. We collect the best practices and material from abroad to implement a competitive course to explore fundamental topics in electrical engineering. The course has seamless relation with theory slots, in class exercises, hand-on experiments outside the lab, and supporting network material.

If experience of this pilot is positive, new platforms will be used also in other courses on electronics. The trend is toward more user-friendly and computer assisted measurement platforms and therefore it is important to study and test them now.

Platforms and tools

MyCourses, MyDAQ devices, electrical components

Pedagogical methods

We utilize automatically evaluated assignments in MyCourses (e.g. Stack).

Involved courses

ELEC-C9600 – Electronic Circuits (3 ECTS)
