Abstract

Transmission of knowledge present in the information by teachers does not guarantee an effective understanding of the student in a large class room which has been a greatest challenge. Linear integrated circuit (LIC) is analysis of solid state analog and digital devices which is characterized by infinite and finite number of possible operating states respectively. Integrated circuits play an important role in electronics. As a felicitator we have to strengthen the theoretical concepts by providing the platform for the students to model, analyze and design various applications using integrated circuits. At undergraduate level, for a large class room it is a great challenge to impart this knowledge. In this paper an activity is discussed which enhances the interest of the students towards the course and depth of gaining knowledge. An effective activity called self study component was introduced at the 4th semester level for developing the model to cater real time signal acquiring and monitoring the physical parameters. This course encouraged us to develop undergraduate level activity with the applications of data acquisition models. Findings showed that there was a significant positive difference in student's academic achievement and attitude towards learning the subject through the activity.

Abstract

Electronic Measurements and Instrumentation involves with the measurement of various parameters related to the operation and use of electronic instruments. Measurements play a very important role in all engineering field. As a facilitator we have to strengthen the theoretical concepts by providing a platform for the students to analyze and design various instruments used for measurements. To improve the knowledge of measurements, analyzing and designing is the greatest challenge at the undergraduate level. This paper discusses implementation assignment as an activity introduced in this course to enhance the interest of the students. The purpose of introducing this activity was to correlate the theoretical concepts taught in the class with the hands-on experience. The details of the Implementation Assignment are also presented. The outcomes of the activity facilitates in terms of academic performance along with exploratory learning approach and presentation skills.
