| Abstract |
Across the spectrum of higher education the delivery of instruction is changing. These changes are predominantly driven by the shrinking pool of traditional 18-22 year old students, the need for working adults to remotely have access to education, and most recently, the abrupt shift to online instruction secondary to the COVID-19 pandemic. Engineering education is not immune to these new dynamics, and institutions need to plan and prepare to embrace new modalities of instruction. Historically, electrical engineering courses have had lab requirements that have involved physical presence in a laboratory with several pieces of test equipment available for testing circuits. In recent years, computer-based laboratory equipment has become available that can provide the same robustness needed to facilitate learning for online electrical engineering courses. A pilot study was conducted at our institution using a home-based laboratory for two electrical engineering courses (Microcontrollers and Electric Circuit Analysis). Presented will be the development of the labs, implementation of the pilot study, description of the labs, and assessment. |
