Remote Teaching of Electrical Engineering Laboratory Course in the Context of COVID-19

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has produced worldwide mandatory social immobilization. Peruvian universities decided to implement a 100% distance learning modality for the May-August 2020 academic semester. This research focused on the application of immediately available resources to reorganize and continue teaching laboratory courses in the context of the pandemic. We evaluate MATLAB/Simulink, scientific papers and technical papers in laboratory courses of our electrical engineering program. Through classroom observation and interviews, the impact of the use of these resources in 6 laboratory courses has been evaluated. The use of software reduced the experiment time by more than 40% and doubled the number of cases evaluated. Technical articles and reports increasing student's knowledge through new analysis techniques and new measurements processes.
