Project based learning on industrial informatics: applying IoT to urban garden

Copyright (c) 2018 IEEEThe fast evolution of technologies forces teachers to trade content off for self-learning. PBL is one of the best ways to promote self-learning and simultaneously boost motivation. In this paper, we present our experience introducing project-based learning in the last year subject. New Internet of Things (IoT) topic allows us to carry out complete projects, integrating different technologies and tools. Moreover, the selection of open-source and standard free technologies makes easy and cheap the access to hardware and software platforms used. We carefully have picked communication, data management, and programming tools that we think would be attractive to our students. They can start making fast prototyping with little initial skills and, at the same time, these are serious and popular tools widely used in the industry. In this paper, we report on the design of a project-based learning for our course and the impact this has on the student satisfaction and motivation. Surveys taught us that tuning the courses towards developing real projects on the field, has a large impact on acceptance, learning objectives achievements and motivation towards the course content.”I Plan Propio Integral de Docencia de la Universidad de Málaga” y Proyecto de Innovación Educativa PIE17/085, de la Universidad de Málaga.

Improving the Performance and Satisfaction of Students in Embedded Systems with PBL Approach

In the under graduate studies, teaching the concepts in the course on Embedded Systems has been always challenge for the faculty. Performance of many students is not up to mark as well as the joy of learning is also not observed in them. This paper is based on the experiments carried out with Project Based Learning (PBL) approach with Rubric’s reviews. The study developed a method of self-learning to apply core electronics knowledge to increase student performance and keen interest in Microcontrollers and its applications. The new design method consists of eight-week PBL strategy to work in group of three students to solve real-world problems. The student’s quality results were improved by 8 % and overall performance in scaled up by 29% as compared to successive previous two years. Also, the feedback from the students shows satisfaction as well as joy of learnin

Mixing Problem Based Learning And Conventional Teaching Methods In An Analog Electronics Course

This study, undertaken at the Walter Sisulu University of Technology (WSU) in South Africa, describes how problem-based learning (PBL) affects the first year ‘analog electronics course’, when PBL and the lecturing mode is compared. Problems were designed to match real-life situations. Data between the experimental group and the control group that related to attitudinal effect; the amount of reflection and learning outcome effects, were compared. A strong correlation was found between the students’ attitudes and project marks for those who used the problem-based learning method. It was found that students who followed the PBL method learned to do research, learned better how to work in groups and developed greater confidence. Also what they learned was more of a practical value and they had more positive attitudes and reflected more, but there were no significant improvements in their learning. This research is in response to the real need to address gaps between employer expectations and higher education outcomes in South Africa.

PBL activity as link element in the bachelor’s degree in industrial electronics and automation engineering

This paper describes the experience carried out within the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering taught at the Eastern Barcelona School of Engineering (EEBE) of the Technical University of Catalonia–BarcelonaTech (UPC). Specifically, the experience is based on the realization of a cross project that is under the framework of the degree intensification named Application Design in Electronics Engineering (ADEE). This intensification, consisting of a block of two courses, taught in the Fall and Spring semesters, and offered for students in their final year, allows the fulfillment, for two semesters, of the aforementioned project. This includes the design, simulation, implementation (assembly), testing and experimental results (corroboration) of an electronic system or equipment within the field of Electronic Engineering

An Implementation of POPBL for Analog Electronics (BEL10203) Course at the Faculty Of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Uthm

A Project Oriented Problem Based Learning (POPBL) has been introduced to the first year students in the Analog Electronics (BEL10203) course at the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, UTHM. The aim is to design an electronic circuit using transistors and diodes that can function as electronic appliances with low cost, low power consumption, and has the features of smart and portable. The total of 143 students were divided into groups and assigned to setup an electronic based company that will be manufacturing the electronic product. Each group had to conduct their regular meetings and develop different kind of products with their creativity. The overall evaluation is divided for both lecturer and peer assessment which carried 20% of their course work. The assessment covered 60% of evaluation for the group management, attitude, progress presentation, report writing while another 40% for the functionality and features of their product. As a result, the POPBL session has increased the student’s ability to analyze and design an analog circuit using various kinds of transistors and diodes. They also gained practical understanding on transistor and diode operation. The POPBL not only expanded their experience in using software tools for circuit design and simulation, but also developed greater awareness to conduct professional presentation and technical report. They also learned to work as professional, keen to ethical responsibilities and committed to the group. The analysis conducted has shown that 95% of the students agreed that the problem given helped them understands better the course syllabus and developed a good problem solving skills

The adoption of poka-yoke mechanism towards reducing the incident of un-lifted side stand of motorcycle

In recent years, human mistake related road traffic accident caused by un-lifted side stand of motorcycle is receiving much attention. However, the existing design improvement efforts to tackle the problem are more likely towards complex design and applicable to limited variants. This research attempts to produce a prototype model of safety mechanism through the adoption of Poka-yoke (human mistake proofing) approach in reducing the incident of un-lifted side stand. The proposed design comprised side stand, gear lever, spring and sensor, which is based on side stand specification of Yamaha 125ZR model. The design employed stainless steel as main material, finite element analysis (FEA) method for validation of strength, bench working and arc welding as fabrication and assembly process, and functional testing for automatic retraction analysis. The results ascertained the side stand is automatically retracted without touching by the rider when gear lever is pushed. The findings revealed the adoption of Poka-yoke mechanism is effective to prevent human mistakes and carelessness, subsequently avoiding the road accidents caused by the un-lifted side stand. Recommendations are also highlighted for further development including the use of alternative material and multiple design
