Course Outcomes

In the era of Internet-of-everything, learning the principles of data communications and networking is inevitable for many electrical engineering disciplines. The paper addresses the effectiveness of teaching the fundamentals of data communications and networking using a dedicated lab course as a co-requisite to a classic lecture-based course. In the introduced lab course, the students are asked to do a variety of tasks using real hardware and a network simulator. The paper introduces quantitative measures of an outcome-based learning approach applied to both courses. Based on students’ achievements, the role of the lab course in the attainment of both the course learning outcomes and the electrical engineering program learning outcomes is measured in comparison with the case where the lab course is not taken. Our findings reveal a general enhancement trend in the attainment of the course and program learning outcomes with a significant increase in the program outcome related to solving engineering problems. Also, a slight increase is noticed in meeting the lab course outcomes for the students who attended the lab with the course in the same semester, which indicates an improvement in gaining practical knowledge.

The Impact

The 3rd year Electrical Engineering Design Studio (EEDS) course is a project-based learning (PBL) course that gives students hands-on experience with putting electrical engineering principles into practice. It is an electro-mechanical project which provides a particular challenge since electrical engineering students often lack mechanical design skills. It is found here that learning outcomes are improved by a 2-stage formative assessment and time optimization strategy that allows students to extract as much value as possible out of the limited time they have to devote to this exercise. It consists of an innovative assessment strategy that includes formal, informal and self-assessments, and an innovative budgeting, lecture scheduling, parts distribution, and order queueing system. The impact on efficiency is shown through an end-of-term student survey and a subjective evaluation of their work, in comparison to the previous year.

This paper deals with lab design tools and their impact on the learning progression of first-year electrical engineering students. Project-based learning is an innovative domain of acquiring knowledge in engineering education, where the role of experimental setup and use of advanced technology imitates real-world engineering problems. This experimentation induces a desire to learn in newly inducted students and influences their minds to understand the applied content of engineering education thus resulting in improved retention rates in engineering programs. A Likert scale is used to generate statistics which suggest that an intelligent design of engineering lab by choosing advanced learning methodology for freshmen electrical engineering students improves their ability to absorb modern engineering concepts as compared to the classical lab setup.

The training of lighting installations for electrical engineering students is intended to provide an understanding of the electricity dangers and skills in terms of installing lighting installations that comply with PUIL standards. With the training of this lighting installation, it can help electrical engineering students to install and repair electrical installations independently even with having these skills can make those students open business opportunities so that employment opportunities will be open and at least they will have income for themselves. This training is given in two stages, namely the stage of supply material and the material testing phase, both theoretically and practically. With this training, the trainees are expected to understand well about the electricity dangers and how to secure it, read installation drawings, measure voltage, detect broken connections, and can make lighting installations using various switches and sockets that comply with the standards and conditions in PUIL and SPLN. In designing and installing electrical installations systems must be considered about human safety, other living things and the security of property from harm and damage that can be caused by the use of electrical installations. Through the Community Partnership Program, electrical engineering lecturer team of IT–PLN felt to need to conduct community training which is currently only focused on electrical engineering students of Pertamina University, by providing knowledge about lighting installation engineering skills. By utilizing experts in the electrical engineering department of IT–PLN, it is expected to be able to add skills and knowledge to electrical engineering students of Pertamina University. The trainees are expected to have an understanding of the electricity theory, the dangers of electricity and how to deal with it and have a strong desire to obtain theoretical and practical knowledge about electrical lighting installation techniques.

The objective of this paper is to document the experience of developing and implementing a second-year course in an engineering professional spine that was developed in a first-tier research university and relies on project-based core courses. The main objective of this spine is to develop the students’ cognitive and employability skills that will allow them to stand out from the crowd of other engineering graduates.The spine was developed and delivered for the first time in the academic year 2010-2011 for first-year general engineering students. In the year 2011-2012, those students joined different programs, and accordingly the second-year course was tailored to align with the different programs’ learning outcomes. This paper discusses the development and implementation of the course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) department.

Knowledge Enhancement

A Novel Rail-Network Hardware with simulation facilities is presented in this paper. The hardware is designed to facilitate the learning of application-oriented, logical, real-time programming in an embedded system environment. The platform enables the creation of multiple unique programming scenarios with variability in complexity without any hardware changes. Prior experimental hardware comes with static programming facilities that focus the students’ learning on hardware features and programming basics, leaving them ill-equipped to take up practical applications with more real-time constraints. This hardware complements and completes their learning to help them program real-world embedded systems. The hardware uses LEDs to simulate the movement of trains in a network. The network has train stations, intersections and parking slots where the train movements can be controlled by using a 16-bit Renesas RL78/G13 microcontroller. Additionally, simulating facilities are provided to enable the students to navigate the trains by manual controls using switches and indicators. This helps them get an easy understanding of train navigation functions before taking up programming. The students start with simple tasks and gradually progress to more complicated ones with real-time constraints, on their own. During training, students’ learning outcomes are evaluated by obtaining their feedback and conducting a test at the end to measure their knowledge acquisition during the training. Students’ Knowledge Enhancement Index is originated to measure the knowledge acquired by the students. It is observed that 87% of students have successfully enhanced their knowledge undergoing training with this rail-network simulator.
