STUDI PERBANDINGAN ANTARA PERANGKAT LUNAK LIVEWIRE DENGAN ELECTRONICS WORKBENCH SEBAGAI MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN TEORI RANGKAIAN SEKUENSIAL PROGRAM KEAHLIAN KONTROL MEKANIK DI SMKN 1 CIMAHI

Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah keterbatasan media pembelajaran pada Kompetensi Dasar Rangkaian Sekuensial Mata Pelajaran Digital. Keterbatasan tersebut dilihat dari jumlah dan kelayakan media pembelajaran yang digunakan tentu saja sangat berpengaruh terhadap hasil belajar siswa. Berdasarkan hasil ulangan harian sebelum dilakukan remedial terlihat bahwa peserta didik yang dapat mencapai nilai kriteria ketuntasan minimum (KKM) di atas 75 hanya 35%. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan yaitu dengan diterapkannya pembelajaran dengan menggunakan Media Pembelajaran berbasis perangkat lunak Livewire dan Electronics Workbench dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui perbedaan pencapaian aspek kognitif “Kompetensi Dasar Rangkaian Sekuensial” pada kelas eksperimen dan kontrol. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode Quasi Experimental Design menggunakan Nonequivalent Control Group Design. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat peningkatan hasil belajar siswa pada ranah kognitif, pada kelas eksperimen. Hal tersebut dibuktikan pada ranah kognitif berdasarkan hasil perhitungan gain kelas yang menggunakan Livewire meningkat sebesar 0,65 dari rata-rata posttest 78,83, sedangkan kelas kontrol menggunakan perangkat lunak Electronics Workbench meningkat 0.56 dari rata-rata posttest 73,87. Oleh karena itu penggunaan media pembelajaran berbasis perangkat lunak Livewire dan Electronics Workbench dapat dikatakan meningkatkan hasil belajar siswa pada ranah kognitif.;---The background of this study is the limitation of teaching media in Basic Competence of Sequential Circuit on Digital Subject. This limitation can be seen through the amount of teaching media and their worthiness. That is exactly influential to the students’ learning outcome. The result of daily test before conducting remedial test shows that only 35% of the students achieve the score of Minimum Completeness Criteria above 75. One of the efforts applied is the implementation of learning that uses teaching media based on Livewire software andElectronics Workbench that aim to understand the difference of cognitive aspect achievement on “Basic Competence of Sequential Circuit” in experimental and control classes. The research method used in this study is the method of Quasi Experimental Design that employs Nonequivalent Control Group Design. This study shows that there is improvement on the students’ learning outcome on cognitive field in experimental class. It is proven by the cognitive field based on the result of class gain calculation that employs Livewire. It is increased 0.65 from the average posttest of 78.83. Meanwhile, control class that uses the software of Electronics Workbench is increased 0.56 from the average posttest of 73.87. Therefore, the use of teaching media with the bases of Livewire and Electronics Workbench software can improve the students’ learning outcome in cognitive field

Innovative teaching of IC design and manufacture using the Superchip platform

In this paper we describe how an intelligent chip architecture has allowed a large cohort of undergraduate students to be given effective practical insight into IC design by designing and manufacturing their own ICs. To achieve this, an efficient chip architecture, the “Superchip”, has been developed, which allows multiple student designs to be fabricated on a single IC, and encapsulated in a standard package without excessive cost in terms of time or resources. We demonstrate how the practical process has been tightly coupled with theoretical aspects of the degree course and how transferable skills are incorporated into the design exercise. Furthermore, the students are introduced at an early stage to the key concepts of team working, exposure to real deadlines and collaborative report writing. This paper provides details of the teaching rationale, design exercise overview, design process, chip architecture and test regime

Teaching electronics-ICT : from focus and structure to practical realizations

We present a four-year electronics-ICT educational master program at Ghent University in Belgium. The students develop knowledge and skills from novice to experienced electronic circuit designers. In the corresponding topics, the immersion into engineering problems is deepened. The horizontal and vertical alignment of courses in the four-year master program at our university is discussed. The curriculum of the four-year master program is highly projectoriented and all topics are clustered around a well-considered set of standards. This clustering supports the logical structure of the program, with students gradually acquiring the necessary competences. All standards and their mutual interaction are extensively discussed in the paper. We also focus on four design-implement projects included in the electronics-ICT program, explicitly following CDIO-guidelines. Whereas the first-year project has a limited level of difficulty, the challenges increase significantly in the course of the next years. Students learn that product design is an iterative process on different levels, where the design strategy can be changed continuously based on important and crucial feedback. Different evaluations have demonstrated that our students are not only aware of CDIO-principles, but are also convinced of the quality of the results obtained by following the standards

A course on digital electronics based on solving design-oriented exercises by means of a PBL strategy

Recently, new syllabuses are being implemented accordingly to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in Spain. This paper describes the methodology and assessment strategy applied in the subject ‘‘Digital Circuits and Systems’’ (CSD) in the third semester course in the Telecommunications Engineering degree at the Castelldefels School of Telecommunications and Aerospace Engineering (EETAC) of the Universitat Polite`cnica de Catalunya (UPC). The course’s main learning objective is that students be able to analyse and design simple combinational and sequential circuits by means of hardware description languages for programmable devices and program applications using microcontrollers and C language. Small groups of two or three students work in cooperation using PBL techniques to solve design-oriented assignments, while instructors act more as mediators than lecturers in order to facilitate project development and knowledge acquisition. The experience we describe corresponds to the spring term of 2011, a period in which this methodology was applied to 46 students. This work compares statistically the influence of the students’ background on their academic performance in our subject. A significant correlation has been detected between test marks and the final grade, based on continuous assessment. Students’ opinions have been obtained by means of a survey at the end of the course. Although the high workload and involvement, because this methodology requires constancy and commitment from the students, most of them have positive opinions on the development of the subject, due to the fact that they realise that they have put into practice several competences or cross-curricular skills, while acquiring the course content, and furthermore, most of them have passed the course, even with higher grades than the ones from other subjects in the same semester.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version

Designing experiments using digital fabrication in structural dynamics

In engineering, traditional approaches aimed at teaching concepts of dynamics to engineering students include the study of a dense yet sequential theoretical development of proofs and exercises. Structural dynamics are seldom taught experimentally in laboratories since these facilities should be provided with expensive equipment such as wave generators, data-acquisition systems, and heavily wired deployments with sensors. In this paper, the design of an experimental experience in the classroom based upon digital fabrication and modeling tools related to structural dynamics is presented. In particular, all experimental deployments are conceived with low-cost, open-source equipment. The hardware includes Arduino-based open-source electronics whereas the software is based upon object-oriented open-source codes for the development of physical simulations. The set of experiments and the physical simulations are reproducible and scalable in classroom-based environments.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
