Development of An Educational Innovation: A Practical Workbook to Enhance Experiential Learning in Digital Electronics

Abstract

Traditional approaches to digital electronics education often emphasize theory over practical skills, leading to gaps in practical application. The Development of an Educational Innovation: A Practical Workbook to Enhance Experiential Learning in Digital Electronics fills this gap through structured, step-by-step lab exercises that connect foundational theory with practical implementation. It covers essential topics including logic gates, combinational and sequential circuits, and microcontroller-based systems through guided experiments, simulations, and troubleshooting tasks. The primary objective is to enhance learners’ ability to design, analyze, and troubleshoot digital circuits through experiential learning. By integrating se integrating hands-on activities, self-assessment questions, and interactive exercises, it supports the development of critical thinking and technical skills. To further facilitate independent learning, the workbook includes access to guided video tutorials on circuit simulation using Tinkercad. Hence, it addresses the gap between educational and industrial needs by fostering skill development and workforce readiness in embedded systems, automation, and electronics. The workbook is suitable for students, educators, and self-learners seeking a practice-oriented approach to digital electronics.
