Implementation(Technology)

• Classroom and lab boundaries are removed, so that in the same hour lab experiments will be conducted as a direct application to the lecture material.
• Extended open class-lab hours, which means that the course hours are not limited to the official time.
• Each student has a tablet PC and an ATMEL programming board. When working by his own the student will be challenged to understand and perform the lab experiments.
• Interaction and discussions are done through the use of the Classroom Presenter (of Washington University).

Implementation (Pedagogy)

• In the first semester of its application to be able to judge the outcome of using this mobile Technology each Student gets a tablet PC (no sharing). As the course introduced is an elective course we thus limited admission to match the number of available PC’s.
• By integrating lectures and labs, we hope to overcome the known problem in engineering education of the disconnect between theoretical lecture material and practical laboratory applications, we also hope that the lecture material will be better understood and that lab time will be of real benefit than traditionally the case.
• Naturally the demand to participate in this course was high but for the sake of testing the effectiveness of this kind of teaching technology, the admitted students represented a vertical segment of the student population with all levels represented.
