Smart Learning Environments for Teaching Electronics to Students

Abstract

The paper presents an alternate approach of teaching electronics by hands on activities instead of the conventional approach of classroom lectures and structured lab sessions. The current work applies the notion of Butterfly Model in developing three Learning by Doing (LbD) courses in Electronics viz. Digital System Design Using Verilog, VLSI Architectures, Topics in Embedded Systems. The effectiveness of these courses has been tested in the classroom on a population of 250 students with around 195 people giving positive feedback.
