“…For instance, color has been used to code components of circuit boards [30] and telecommunication systems [31]. Color has also been used to represent concept maps [32], singularities in robot movements [33], and terms in digital logic expressions on a K-map [34] as well as frames and phases in communications protocols [35], [36].…”

Learning the analysis of electrical circuits represented by circuit diagrams is often challenging for novice students. An open research question in electrical circuit analysis instruction is whether color coding of the mathematical symbols (variables) that denote electrical quantities can improve circuit analysis learning. The present study compared two groups of high school students undergoing their first introductory learning of electrical circuit analysis. One group learned with circuit variables in black font. The other group learned with colored circuit variables, with blue font indicating variables related to voltage, red font indicating those related to current, and black font indicating those related to resistance. The color group achieved significantly higher post-test scores, gave higher ratings for liking the instruction and finding it helpful, and had lower ratings of cognitive load than the black-font group. These results indicate that color coding of the notations for quantities in electrical circuit diagrams aids the circuit analysis learning of novice students.Index Terms-Circuit diagram, electrical circuit analysis, font color, multiple representations, novice learners.

“…In this context, electronic design automation (EDA), or the design of electronic systems created with the help of specific software, plays a fundamental role. PCB design is today, more than ever, at the center of the industrial activities of the most advanced countries, and the design software for systems is one of the elements that makes the difference from a competitive point of view in the continuous industrial challenge of innovation and production [6], as PCBs are now considered as complex engineering systems due to the high degree of interaction among their parts and the devices' behavior.…”

A Comparative Analysis of Computer-Aided Design Tools for Complex Power Electronics Systems

Companies working on semiconductors must currently assure the customers of not only the performance of the semiconductor device per se, but also its performance when it is implemented in a real board, therefore including the role of parasitic effects. It is therefore very important to evaluate, especially during the design phase, not only the single device, but the complete board and their mutual interactions. This consideration opens a new area of investigation in the field of electronic systems engineering. In the current literature, the problem of a software evaluation of parasitic dynamics and electromagnetic effects on printed boards is addressed from the point of view of researchers. Moreover, it is fundamental to have a complete view of the various tools that could be usefully adopted from the perspective of manufacturers. This is the main motivation of this technical note, which performs a comparative analysis of the most prominent software tools for printed circuit boards’ (PCBs) simulation. The main features, the key aspects, and the limitations of the software packages are analyzed in terms of the industrial design of power electronics devices, in order to ensure efficiency and fastness in the semiconductor market.

“…Para el desarrollo de las competencias mecatrónicas, se han propuesto objetos de estudio como el motor de combustión interna, debido a la gran cantidad de sensores, actuadores y dispositivos para la adaptación, transmisión y procesamiento de información que emplean en la actualidad (Romero, Acosta & Carranza, 2013). El diseño de circuitos impresos también ha sido propuesto como temática integradora; esto debido a que son componentes esenciales de cualquier aparato electrónico, forman parte del ensamble mecánico, brindan conexión con otros dispositivos y afectan el comportamiento térmico del aparato del cual forman parte (Dankovic, Vracar, Prijic & Prijic, 2013;Cárdenas & Prieto-Ortíz, 2015).…”

RESUMENLa formación de ingenieros en temáticas multidisciplinarias es una tarea compleja, en la medida que requiere desarrollar competencias propias de varias disciplinas bien cimentadas; este es el caso de las ingenierías electromecánica, mecatrónica y biomédica, en las cuales, para alcanzar los objetivos de formación, es necesario trabajar temáticas integradoras. En el presente documento se reporta una metodología de enseñanza activa universitaria sobre un tema específico de carácter integrador. Como temática integradora se propone la automatización de un grupo electrógeno. Se plantea una metodología de cinco fases, cada una con sus actividades, competencias y evaluación, para su puesta en el aula durante un periodo académico. El problema se abordó con estudiantes de ingeniería electromecánica, adoptando un enfoque de diseño modular para la solución del problema. La solución modular permite organizar los grupos de trabajo, adecuando su conformación a la cantidad e intereses de los estudiantes; igualmente permite el aprendizaje colaborativo, incentiva la responsabilidad en la ejecución de las tareas y potencia las competencias comunicativas, pues el éxito en el resultado final dependerá del grado de cumplimiento y compromiso de cada grupo en la labor asignada. La experiencia indica que el control de grupos electrógenos es una temática integradora que permite, a los futuros ingenieros, poner en práctica los conocimientos que han sido recibidos de forma aislada en las áreas de electricidad, electrónica y mecánica. Adicionalmente, la metodología propuesta potencia el desarrollo de competencias tales como: búsqueda, selección y manejo de la información, trabajo en grupo, tolerancia, comunicación y habilidad para resolver problemas. PALAbRAS CLAVEFormación de ingenieros, aprendizaje orientado por proyectos, multidisciplinariedad, grupos electrógenos. AbSTRACTThe training of engineers in multidisciplinary subjects is a complex task, insofar as it requires developing competences of several well-established disciplines. This is the case of electromechanical, mechatronics and biomedical engineering, in which in order to achieve the training objectives, it is necessary to work on integrative subjects. The present document reports a methodology of active university teaching on a specific subject of integrative character. As an integrative subject, the automation of a generator set is proposed. It
