Experimental Learning in Electrical Engineering with the Erasmus+ DIG-SENSING Blended Intensive Program

This paper presents the Erasmus+ DIG-SENSING project which is a Blended Intensive Program (BIP) that has the main objective to increase the motivation of students in achieving knowledge and practical experience in the field of electronic circuits. This is to be achieved through projects that integrate the design of electronic circuits, and the programming of microcontrollers through an initial online series of Webinars and local activities within the partner institutions from March to May 2023 that are then followed by a physical Summer School in July 2023. The structure and implementation of DIG-SENSING, with the benefits for students, academic staff, and partner universities will be presented. In this project, the participating students must develop and tackle a challenge that brings together Information and Communication Technologies in the framework of solving socio-environmental problems.The paper also presents and evaluation of students perception after the first webinar.
