Abstract

This paper presents several non-traditional exam methods that serve both introductory analog electronics and advanced electronics courses in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) department at the University of Evansville (UE). The study is focused on classes from Fall 2019 - Fall 2020. Despite the COVID disruption in 2020, students’ outcomes and final course survey indicated that these methods enhanced their understanding, promoted their interest and motivation in transistor topics.
