Project-Based Learning For a Digital Circuits Design Sequence

Abstract

complete required mathematics, physics and C programming Abstract-In today's globally competitive business environment, courses, as well as required humanities and social science technology-based companies are looking for and expect to hire workers courses. After completing basic courses the student will take who have the skills necessary to successfully perform in a changing knowledge-based society. Students of today enter an increasingly tg globalized world in which technology plays a vital role. They must be theory course, the student will be introduced to various good communicators, as well as great collaborators. The new work software analysis packages and will solve circuit problems environment requires responsibility and self-management, as well as . .p interpersonal and project-management skills that demand teamwork and u P leadership. It is essential that academic institutions equip future Network Theory I the student is ready to take their first digital graduates with the essential skills to be an integral part of this change.course.Project-based learning (PBL) is designed to put students into a students-An important element of a digital design laboratory is to as-workers setting where they learn collaboration, critical thinking, written and oral communication, and the values of work ethic. In this implement or build the device to test the design. Two paper we present a strategy for applying PBL to Digital Circuits. PBL approaches have generally been used. One is the traditional, applied to Digital Circuits and Design Sequence (DCDS) courses graphical method using logic symbols and connections to addresses the need to provide undergraduate electrical and computer describe the design and construction for hand wiring of engineering students with such capabilities as they relate to real-world applications.devices. A more recent approach common to industry uses the computer as a tool to develop and test a description of the Index Terms-Digital design, logic circuits, problem-based design given in a hardware language program of the circuit.learning, computer engineering.The design can then be simulated on the computer and, when verified, can then be stored into a large, general circuit.

Project-based learning approach for control system courses

“…There are several experiences using PBL in engineering subjects such as circuit analysis (Costa et al, 2007), digital signal processing (Nelson, 2006a;Nelson, 2006b), instrumentation and measurement (Mukhopadhyay, 2007), digital and analogical electronic circuits (Northern, 2007;Nerguizian and Rafaf, 2006;Perera, 2002), power engineering (Mota et al, 2004), computer engineering (Garcia-Robles et al, 2009), etc. In Latin America, there are experiences in control systems at Universidad de los Andes in Colombia (Duque et al, 2003) and at Instituto Tecnológico de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey in Mexico (Morales-Menendez et al, 2006).…”

Project-Based Learning on Teaching Communications Circuits

“…Eventually, a written evaluation was applied to check if the desired competencies were developed. NORTHERN (2007) presented the proposal of a curriculum adopting PBL in the teaching of Field-programmable Gate Array (FPGA), searching for fast FPGA based prototyping. In this context, students learned how to program and to design using high-level Hardware Description Language (HDL).…”

A project-oriented integral curriculum on Electronics for Telecommunication Engineers

“…Project-based learning is an instructional method that challenges students to think critically and enhance their ability to analyze and solve real world problems, develop skill in gathering and evaluating the information needed for solving problems, gain experience working cooperatively in teams. Successful implementation of Project Based Learning (PBL) strategies has been well documented [3][4][5].…”
