Teaching Electronics for non Electrical Engineers Using Blended Learning and Experiential Learning

Abstract

I present in this paper overview of an experiment that was carried out at McMaster University, Canada, on teaching electronics for non electrical engineers. A combination of experiential learning and blended learning was used at an introductory electronics course. The initial results show improvement in the way students rated both the instructor and the course as a whole and in the way they understood the subject and how it relates to real life. I discuss different aspects of this work and present recommendations for improvement
