Active Learning in Electronic Measurements and Instrumentation Course through Hands-On

Abstract

Electronic Measurements and Instrumentation involves with the measurement of various parameters related to the operation and use of electronic instruments. Measurements play a very important role in all engineering field. As a facilitator we have to strengthen the theoretical concepts by providing a platform for the students to analyze and design various instruments used for measurements. To improve the knowledge of measurements, analyzing and designing is the greatest challenge at the undergraduate level. This paper discusses implementation assignment as an activity introduced in this course to enhance the interest of the students. The purpose of introducing this activity was to correlate the theoretical concepts taught in the class with the hands-on experience. The details of the Implementation Assignment are also presented. The outcomes of the activity facilitates in terms of academic performance along with exploratory learning approach and presentation skills.
