Active-learning implementation proposal for course Electronics at undergraduate level

The course “Electronics 1” is taught at undergraduate level and covers broad area of electronics starting from the physics of semiconductors to the complex electronic system such as operational amplifier. This course is obligatory for sophomore students enrolled in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology undergraduate program as well as in Computing undergraduate program. Due to the course comprehensiveness and recognised lack of interest, students tend to study without understanding the studied concepts and their practical application. This paper presents the proposal to increase the interest in electronics by introduction of the active learning (AL) process. This AL process is supported by the developed AL module, i.e. clicker, which provides the hands-on experience of the topics studied throughout the course. We provide questionnaire proposal that will be given to groups of students and the results will be compared to the control group to assess the usefulness of the proposed approach.
