Abstract

With rapid advances in the emerging and pervasive field of the Internet of Things, electrical and electronic engineering students need a robust grasp of embedded computational device principles to make a proper, appreciable and relevant contribution. This necessity is more pertinent in developing countries that are technologically lagging behind their developed counterparts. This paper analyses the teaching modalities and models used to teach embedded device theory. A new triumvirate (or three person group) hybrid blended learning model is proposed and used to instruct mid-level students in the Electrical and Information Engineering Department of the University of Nairobi; on two embedded device types: a custom board using an AVR Atmega88A series micro-controller and the Raspberry Pi single-board computer. Student circuit design ability and programming confidence prior and subsequent to the proposed method were used to assess the efficacy of the triumvirate model. From the preliminary iteration of the learning model program, it was found that the model is a viable method of ensuring persistent knowledge transfer of embedded design concepts and can be developed further.
物联网中嵌入式计算设备的三驾马车混合学习方法:案例研究
随着物联网这一新兴和普遍领域的迅速发展,电气和电子工程专业的学生需要对嵌入式计算设备原理有一个强有力的掌握,才能做出适当的、有价值的和相关的贡献。这种必要性在技术上落后于发达国家的发展中国家更为重要。本文分析了嵌入式器件理论的教学模式和教学模式。提出了一种新的三人组混合学习模式,并用于指导内罗毕大学电气与信息工程系的中级学生;两种嵌入式设备类型:使用AVR Atmega88A系列微控制器的自定义板和树莓派单板计算机。学生电路设计能力和编程自信在提出的方法之前和之后被用来评估三头模型的有效性。通过对学习模型程序的初步迭代,发现该模型是一种保证嵌入式设计概念知识持续转移的可行方法,并且可以进一步发展。
