Thiago Costa Caetano; Camila Cardoso Moreira; Mikael Frank Rezende Junior – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2024
Contribution: This work seeks to ascertain the validity of a remote-controlled experiment of the Physics Remote Lab in the educational context, specifically among students from engineering courses. Background: In 2012, it has been started the development of the Physics Remote Lab at the Federal University of Itajubá, Brazil, a laboratory with a…

Garcia-Zubia, Javier; Cuadros, Jordi; Romero, Susana; Hernandez-Jayo, Unai; Orduña, Pablo; Guenaga, Mariluz; Gonzalez-Sabate, Lucinio; Gustavsson, Ingvar – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2017
Remote laboratories give students the opportunity of experimenting in STEM by using the Internet to control and measure an experimental setting. Remote laboratories are increasingly used in the classroom to complement, or substitute for, hands-on laboratories, so it is important to know its learning value. While many authors approach this question…

Chen, Baiyun; DeMara, Ronald F.; Salehi, Soheil; Hartshorne, Richard – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2018
A laboratory pedagogy interweaving weekly student portfolios with onsite formative electronic laboratory assessments (ELAs) is developed and assessed within the laboratory component of a required core course of the electrical and computer engineering (ECE) undergraduate curriculum. The approach acts to promote student outcomes, and neutralize…

Shahnia, Farhad; Moghbel, Moayed; Yengejeh, Hadi Hosseinian – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
This paper presents several methods for motivating students taking a power system protection (PSP) course. The paper reviews the laboratory activities developed for the PSP course at Curtin University, Australia; these methods are applicable and can be used for PSP course instruction at any institution. These activities were developed to improve…

Tsompanoudi, Despina; Satratzemi, Maya; Xinogalos, Stelios – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2016
The results presented in this paper contribute to research on two different areas of teaching methods: distributed pair programming (DPP) and computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL). An evaluation study of a DPP system that supports collaboration scripts was conducted over one semester of a computer science course. Seventy-four students…

Zhan, Wei; Porter, Jay R.; Morgan, Joseph A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2014
This paper discusses the design and implementation of laboratories and course projects using LabVIEW in an instrumentation course. The pedagogical challenge is to enhance students' learning of digital communication using LabVIEW. LabVIEW was extensively used in the laboratory sessions, which better prepared students for the course projects. Two…

Mas, J.; Farre, A.; Cuadros, J.; Juvells, I.; Carnicer, A. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Optical trapping is an attractive and multidisciplinary topic that has become the center of attention to a large number of researchers. Moreover, it is a suitable subject for advanced students that requires a knowledge of a wide range of topics. As a result, it has been incorporated into some syllabuses of both undergraduate and graduate programs.…

Munoz-Merino, P. J.; Kloos, C. D.; Munoz-Organero, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
This paper reports the results of an experiment in a Computer Architecture Laboratory course classroom session, in which students were divided into two groups for interaction both with a hinting e-learning system and with human teachers generating hints. The results show that there were high learning gains for both groups, demonstrating the…

Oliver, J. P.; Haim, F. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
An innovative laboratory methodology for an introductory digital design course is presented. Instead of having traditional lab experiences, where students have to come to school classrooms, a "lab at home" concept is proposed. Students perform real experiments in their own homes, using hardware kits specially developed for this purpose. They…
