If you’re stuck in the unfamiliar situation of attempting to complete the rest of this semester’s EE courses online (rather than in your lab), read on. We want to make sure you feel confident and empowered that using Digilent products will make this transition much easier for you.
首先,首先,你并不孤单。教授umass lowell.那哥伦比亚那德克萨斯州A&M那东南大学(中国),世界各地的其他70所大学已经成功地基于课程模拟发现2and模拟发现演播室。
Umass Lowell采用了一个“实验室随时随处”的教学模式,转换了一半the lab sessions into Analog Discovery 2 labs – where the students work on their own并有一半的实验室时间。然而,由于最近的学校关闭,他们已经搬到了完全在线努力。他们发现模拟发现中的学生2 based labs were more engaged, better laboratory scores, and在最终等级中增加了2%,没有负面影响。
在Montana State University那Professor BrockLaMeres使用模拟发现2作为数字的测试和测量解决方案电子课程,允许他远程教会100%。He says,“The Analog Discovery 2 is the key enabler for conducting our circuits labs remotely. It allows students to为他们的面包板供电并拍摄测量,就像他们身体上的实验室工作台一样campus. In many cases, it surpasses the functionality that we provide to the students in thephysical lab. Our students now get experience with logic analysis and driving digital signals into their电路。但是,是什么让模拟发现2practical is its cost. Academic pricing makes it feasible for our department topurchase and distribute devices to each student. That不是possible with some of the more expense市场上的便携式实验室仪器。“
这paper “积极学习:使用便携式计算机的测试设备改进学生学习,“Mihaela Radu博士和Mircea dabacan博士讨论了Diginent的模拟发现作为越来越多的工程学生学习的手段,并通过这种方法有效的结果证明了结果。
Resources For You
所以,优秀 - 你现在知道Digilent可以帮助挽救你的学期。但是你如何实施它?通过模拟发现2向每个学生运送,他们将拥有他们需要成功的工具,但转换材料呢?跳到我们的资源中心where you’ll find an abundance of resources for you and your students. Device specific resources to help students include tutorials for each of the instruments a getting started guide, and more. The free courseIntro to Analog Circuits Using the Analog Discovery 2,有可选的物理教科书真正的模拟教科书(在亚马逊上销售,并兼容模拟发现2!)。这是一个整个课程(您可以选择和选择),由章节分解,包括文本材料和实验室。随意使用所有这些资源来帮助转换您的课程到网上,当然,如果您的学生有任何疑问,他们可以前往Digilent论坛。
学生对此有什么看法?
- “我是一名电气工程学生,可以说它是最通用和有用的工具自己的。如果模拟发现II只有网络分析仪,它仍然值得这笔钱。我孤身一人我学校的少数学生可以测试我从家里创造的电路的频率响应。这network analyzer is very useful when creating filter circuits, especially when the filters are tunable and I需要拨打它们。“
- “One of my instructors recommended the Analog Discovery 2 for our lab assignments, and I opted not to买一个(试图省钱。)我的实验室伙伴有一个,所以我们用他的。在第一个实验室分配,之后seeing all the things it could do I decided to buy one.”
- “如果您是电气工程学生,这是绝对的必须拥有的。实用足以便携but as powerful as any instrumentation system you’ll ever need. I have mostly used the oscilloscopes,wave generators and power supplies, they work seamlessly. I love how easy the software is for controlling模拟发现。这是一个你不需要三思而后三次购买。“
- “这件事很棒。我只有机会使用示波器和数字分析仪,但它们have worked great. The software is awesome as well. It suits my needs for school great!”
- “这是上面所述的所有东西。在我的实验室里,我已经习惯了一切都大。虽然这些没有与更大,笨重,更昂贵的机器相同的功能,这些都是真的cool especially for a learner like me.”
- “I am a second year electrical engineering student and got this item recommended by a friend while I was寻找示波器。如果您正在阅读此评论,您也正在寻找示波器,请勿再搜索。这是the EE swiss knife you need.”

I’ve not moved my course online yet, but my textbook
https://leanpub.com/applied_analog_electronics.还使用模拟发现2。
这textbook is only $6 (PDF), and I’ll give a free coupon to any instructor who wants to consider the book for a course, either as the main text or a suplement.
该课程是电子设备的第一课程(仅Prereq是差分微积分),并强调设计而不是分析电路。一遍又一遍地使用的三个主要概念是分压器,复杂阻抗和负反馈放大器。
That’s awesome, Kevin! Thanks for sharing that with us. We’ll post that link on our Twitter!
