Student Retention in Design and Synthesis of Digital Systems

In technical courses with subjects that have high practical content, overexertion is common, resulting in students dropping out of the subject. Consequently, teachers propose teaching strategies to try to motivate the student and attract them to the subject. This paper details the experience of implementing a couple of Teaching Innovation Actions applied to the subject of Design and Synthesis of Digital Systems, which is taken during the 6th semester in the degree of Electronic Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of Barcelona.
