Enquiry Based Learning in Digital Engineering

The transistor is at the heart of virtually every modern day electronic device from the laptop computer to the mobile phone. It has revolutionized modern living in terms of information storage and an understanding of its operation and how design specifications influence performance are essential topics for students of electronic engineering and computer engineering. It is the aim of this Fellowship to introduce an enquiry based learning approach into transistor operation and design. Selected topics in performance and specifications have been chosen which highlight the competing factors the modern engineer needs to be aware off if the technology revolution is to be maintained. The students will benefit by being exposed to these competing factors and will learn as individuals and as part of a team how their choice of design controls performance.
