Abstract

In our Electrical Engineering department, we have been introducing a new engineering education method called “in-situ experiment” into the specialized subjects since 2009. It is an education method based on simple experiments performing in classroom to check and confirm basically physical laws or rules just after learning them. We confirmed that this education method is effective especially for 1st and 2nd year students in KOSEN (National College of Technology in Japan). In the electrical engineering, the electrical and electronic circuits are fundamental and most important subjects to learn the wide range of specialized subjects relating to the electrical engineering. In our department, 1st and 2nd year students learn the electrical circuits including digital circuits in the classes, which are named “Fundamentals to Digital Circuits” for 1st year students and “Basic Electric Circuits” for 2nd year students. We confirmed a significant education effect on the in-situ experiments into these classes from the improvement of the average scores of the examination. We also conducted questionnaire survey about the “in-situ experiment”. As a result, we received many positive opinions on the in-situ experiment from the students. A further positive aspect by introducing the in-situ experiments reduced by half the number of student who repeat the same classes for 1st, 2nd and even 3rd year students in our department.
