Abstract:
Historically, the classic course Electronic Instrumentation was based on analog electronics - analog sensors, actuators, and amplifiers - and was taught in most colleges and universities as the theoretical course. The appearance of inexpensive micro-controllers revolutionized the usage of sensors and actuators; hence, our days Electronic Instrumentation can be taught as "a classic course in the modern envelope": by using as analog as digital elements, plus by using special programming techniques. In order to make the content of the course closer to modern industry design techniques, most of the assignments were made project-based. It is clear that checking and grading a large number of project-based assignments is time-consuming. To make this process time-effective for the educator, a set of rules and procedures were formulated. This article describes the time-effective logistics which were used during the 7 years to teach this course, as in "regular time", as in "COVID19 time" by using real electronic components, and by using TinkerCad simulations.
