Title

Electronics Workbench As A Troubleshooting Tool For An Electrical Engineering Technology Digital Fundamentals Course

Abstract

Electronics Workbench is a valuable piece of software for teaching electrical engineering technology students how to troubleshoot fundamental digital circuits [1]. Digital Fundamentals is a beginning electronics course for electrical engineering technology students that is taught assuming no prior knowledge of electrical principles. Students are also required to have no prior lab experience. Due to the accelerated pace of the course, students frequently have trouble keeping up with the lab experiments and ending the course with a good understanding of how to troubleshoot a circuit if something goes wrong in lab such as faulty wiring, etc. Logic Analyzers are typically not used in the beginning course and students, being new to using the oscilloscope, often have trouble using it to troubleshoot circuits. Logic probes -are useful, but students tend to have trouble seeing the big picture of what is going on in a circuit when they are used. Electronics Workbench is a good software tool for overcoming these difficulties by providing a visual display of what is going on.
