Abstract

Practical Project in Linear Design Course During COVID-19

Abstract Practical project design in the Linear Course in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering Technology is intended to be a real-world experience to help students to gain knowledge during the step-by-step project performance from beginning to completion. This would allow them to build confidence, a sense of accomplishment, and ownership and make them prepared and ready for taking the next design course in the following semester.

The project is selected to be challenging regarding high current delivery and has a practical application with other laboratory experiences, with the following output voltages, currents, Load Regulation (+/- 5%), and Line Regulation (+/- 10%) requirements. i. + 9V at 1.5A, ii. -9V at 1.5A, iii. and 5V at 2A.

In order for students to accomplish their projects, they would be expected to follow the required steps and procedures and utilize the knowledge and experiences they have gained:

i. Design the project using circuit analysis to come up with the required components, ii. Specify parts and components, iii. Order parts using an online catalog, iv. Cost analysis, v. Design the layout, vi. Assemble the parts and components, vii. Test and verify the completed project’s performance following the required percentages of regulation, and viii. Submit a written report according to the Journal of Computers in Education.

This paper describes students’ projects and details of their experiences and the successes and effect of COVID-19 on their projects and lesson learned and shows a few pictures of the finished products.
