This work presents a study of the behavior of piezoelectric devices based on a modified Thévenin's equivalent electric circuit. It aims to characterize piezoelectric devices using electric network theory and to complement the instruction of Thévenin's Theorem in classes about electric circuits. The employed approach allows us to outline the most important concepts of operation of the piezoelectric...
This paper presents a method to use the MCU SLK as an, easy to understand and to modify, system for simultaneous use of multiple microcontrollers with different architecture, for educational purposes.
The interactive technical electronic book, TechEBook, currently under development at the University of Central Florida (UCF), provides a useful tool for engineers and scientists through unique features compared to the most used traditional electrical circuit textbooks available in the market. TechEBook has comprised the two worlds of classical circuit books and an interactive operating platform such...
This paper demonstrate how to construct an advanced yet low cost remote lab for experiments fro an module in analogue electronics at an electrical engineering course at second year bachelor level. The remote lab is designed for running experiments on a normal BJT common emitter amplifier circuit, while maintaining the possibility for the students to use a wide range of different setups. The main reasons...
This work introduces an approach to improve reading skills from mathematics courses in an Electronics Engineering program. The approach considers five phases called motivation, inquiry, interpretation, theoretical revision and argumentation. The inquiry and interpretation phases are interacting through the dialogue between the teacher and students, which helps students to understand the topic that...
Embedded systems courses and labs teaching hardware and software design are a necessity in many technical university programs. The attendees of these courses train their skills and expertise on hardware platforms available for the students only during the phase of attendance. To gain practical skills in building such systems, lab courses are required and appropriate parts have to be supplied. To train...
Laboratory courses are essential in engineering education in preparing students for engineering experience and practice. Through laboratory experiments, students could develop and enhance their knowledge and skills in the relevant engineering field. In the laboratory, students learn by doing, by practicing engineering skills that they might perform in the future. What are students' perceptions on...
Microelectronics high education in France is organized through a network composed of twelve centers, six of them having clean-rooms and technological facilities. During the year 2010, some activities moved from microelectronics to nanotechnologies in an effort to adapt our training facilities to the new nanoworld.
This paper describes the work done at the Carinthia University of Applied Sciences towards integrating VISIR-based labs on the iLab architecture. The Virtual Systems in Reality (VISIR) project is carried out by the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and features a platform for performing experiments in different domains.
New Zealand, similarly to many countries, is facing declining enrolments in engineering tertiary study. Students and even their teachers are surprisingly ignorant about engineering study and prospective careers, especially in the more modern engineering disciplines. This paper outlines outreach activities targeted at two levels of secondary school students as well as their teachers and their careers...
