“…Typically, the traditional method involves translating lecture content into calculations in paper-based design exercise, which involved doing truth table calculations or Karnaugh mapping for circuitry connection, for example. To support this teaching method, encouraging "learning while doing" approach in system design projects can help students to connect their learned concept from lectures to practical development [6][7][8]. In this case, educational tools can be implemented to improve student understanding.…”

To supplement conventional teaching methods, use of new technology have recently being adapted in the current education system. Such examples are implementing simulators and quiz kits in a classroom session to assist teachers in providing standardized evaluation or practical and more direct examples of concepts that are being taught. Additionally, the well-known issue of attracting student interest in a so-called uninteresting conventional lecture may be solved by using this technological method. The objective of this works to provide methods on developing a prototype training kit (named as e-Logic trainer kit or e-LTK) which comprises of an electronic simulator and quiz assessment module to evaluate subject knowledge on logic gates. The e-LTK is developed by using Arduino Mega 2560 as the base microcontroller, equipped with keypad and display module as the user input/output interface. The quiz assessment module contained in the prototype also allows conversion of inputs by combinatorial logic circuits into output in the form of timing diagram. This equipment enables electrical engineering students to simulate several combinations of logic circuit, reinforcing the understanding of logic circuit operation. The effectiveness of using this prototype in educational settings have been evaluated through a survey on students and instructors at Faculty of Technology in Engineering (FTK) in Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM). Response has been positive, with 60% of the correspondence has shown positive feedbacks, indicating the usefulness of the prototype kit.

Empowering Talented Students: An Italian Experience of an Enriched Curriculum in Engineering

2019

This paper summarizes the design, the activities performed and the main results achieved by an innovative teaching program, set-up for the talented freshmen in Engineering Bachelor's courses at an Italian technical University, the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, starting from 2013. The project structure is here detailed, year-by-year, with a focus on both the reinforcement of an Engineering standard curriculum, and to the hybrid activities, also in non-technical areas, such as soft-skills, critical thinking, humanities, and creativity. The strategies and methods for the students' selection have been discussed, and the University human resource efforts and the costs involved are justified. The results achieved during a three-year experience, based on structured survey to collect students' feedback, are then critically analysed with the purpose to suggest implementation and further development.

“…Teamwork is often associated with game-based learning, but also with project-based learning [21] [22]. Vodernichova [23], who applied play in higher education, concluded that simulation play in teams deepens knowledge and skills, increases creativity and confidence, as well as motivation and interest.…”

Teamwork has an undeniable benefit in finding creative and effective solutions to situations in both work and school environments. Teamwork training can be seen as a necessary condition for the career growth of every individual. This article aims to explore students‘ attitudes towards teamwork, identify the reasons for positive and negative attitudes of students towards teamwork, and measure their level of satisfaction with various aspects of teamwork. The survey utilized a non-standardized questionnaire comprising closed-ended items, multiple-choice items, and scaled items. Out of the 148 respondents, the majority expressed a positive attitude towards teamwork across different aspects, with varying reasons and levels of satisfaction. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that there is no statistically significant difference between the groups with positive and negative attitudes towards teamwork regarding their views on the reasons that cause positive or negative attitudes. However, there is a significant difference between the groups in their evaluation of all the aspects of teamwork, except for difficulty and unfairness. Students with positive attitudes towards teamwork place significantly more importance on relationships within the team, express higher satisfaction with recognition for good achievements and with the opportunity to help others, and they also prioritize the opportunity to assist others more than students with negative attitudes.
