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.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess1203.17 InformáticaThe impact of take-home laboratories on student perceptions of conceptual and professional learning in electronic engineering across four European universitiesjournal articletake-home laboratorieslaboratory learning objectivessurveygraduate attributeselectronic engineering
