Small Set

Lab work and exercises are an essential part of Electronic Engineering Education as it improves understanding of the theoretical concepts. Remote Labs like VISIR (Virtual Instrument Systems in Reality) can supplement the learning process but are limited to a small set of components. Therefore, experiments with VISIR should be combined with prepared and fixed circuits.<br />This work presents an approach, where in the first step new exercises are de-veloped with the NI ELVIS platform, and later implemented with the much more cost-effective NI myDAQ platform. In general, the entire system is very inexpen-sive and scaleable, since a single PC can act as a host for a wide number of exer-cise boards, each of which is connected via a myDAQ.

Education Platform

Outcome based engineering education is a paradigm shift from traditional knowledge-based education to modern skill-based education. After the Washington Accord, the engineering education all over the world has adopted the new pedagogy for Engineering Education. But last year, after the hit of COVID – 19 pandemics, most of the education system has to move online. The online education platform raised a new challenge for Outcome Based Education. In this paper, the effect of Online education on OBE implemented B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering program has been analyzed and the attainment performance of the Program Outcomes has been presented. With this empirical evidence it has been demonstrated that with careful implementation and encouragement OBE can achieve its potential even with Online education.

Laboratory Experiences

The laboratory component of undergraduate engineering education poses challenges in resource constrained engineering faculties. The cost, time, space and physical presence requirements of the traditional (real) laboratory approach are the contributory factors. These resource constraints may mitigate the acquisition of meaningful laboratory experiences by students, which is especially true in developing countries. Virtual laboratories can be used to complement the traditional laboratory to enhance students’ laboratory experience. In extreme cases of lack of resources, the virtual lab can be used as an alternative laboratory . Although some research on the implementation of virtual laboratories has occurred, more efforts are required because of the diverse experiential needs and requirements of the engineering curriculum. This paper presents a low-cost, web-based virtual laboratory workbench for use as part of undergraduate electronic engineering courses. Some distinguishing features of the virtual workbench are that students can undertake curriculum-based laboratory activities in a realistic manner; it integrates a Bayesian Network-based assessment structure for the assessment of students’ performance; and it affords the instructor flexibility in designing laboratory exercises.

Education Process

Engineering education process is heavily relying on the practical hands-on experimentation. However, todayâ??s education is involving more and more e-learning aspects and learners expect to get most of the content and activity available over the Internet. Practical experiments is not trivial to carry out over the Internet, but using novel ICT technologies and integrated solution, it is possible to offer real experimentation over the Internet. This paper describes and presents the remote practical experiment system in robotic and embedded system domain.
