Publicación The impact of take-home laboratories on student perceptions of conceptual and professional learning in electronic engineering across four European universities(Taylor & Francis, 2024-09-27) O’Mahony, Tom; Hilla, Martin; Onet, Raul; Neag, Marius; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Zhou, DaoResearch exploring the advantages and limitations of different laboratory modes on student learning is critical so that engineering instructors can design hybrid/blended laboratories to maximise student learning. However, limited research explores the impact of take-home laboratories on student learning. This article documents the impact that the "HELP" take-home laboratory had on student perceptions of conceptual and professional learning across four European universities within the discipline of electronic engineering. Impact was evaluated through a student questionnaire that included Likert-scale and open-ended questions and was completed by 74 participants. The research extends what is known by revealing how take-home laboratories supported student understanding. Participants report that having flexible access and more time to build and test real circuits enhanced their understanding. Participants also reported that take-home laboratories supported the development of specific professional skills. Based on the student perspective, an implication of this research is that take-home laboratories can legitimately complement other laboratory modalities.Publicación A take home laboratory to support teaching electronics: Instructors perspectives and technical revisions, Journal on teaching engineering(University of Porto, 2024-12-02) O´Mahony, Tom; Murray, Michael; Hill, Martin; Onet, Raul; Neag Marius; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Zhou, DaoThree modes dominate engineering labs – in-person, simulation and remote. Take-home laboratories have received comparatively little attention within engineering education. This article reports on qualitative data that was collected, via focus groups with eight staff from a single University, to evaluate the effectiveness of take-home laboratories. The laboratories consisted of a range of embedded development platforms along with a bespoke Home Electronics Laboratory Platform (HELP) that was designed to support the learning of analog and digital electronics in the early years of our programmes. The findings indicate that take-home laboratories can support the development of independent learners and enhance troubleshooting skills. Participants also identified that supporting students in their troubleshooting activity was particularly challenging in a remote environment. We make some suggestions for how take-home laboratories could be used to complement existing laboratory practices.
