Use of microwaves to promote student-content interaction in a discipline of electrical circuits

Abstract

In this paper, a hybrid teaching methodology of the Electrical Circuits discipline is presented, which  uses a PBL approach, based on a classroom model that unites theory and experimental part in  practically all classes, aiming to promote in a stimulating way the students, who are exposed in  different ways on the same content. This approach relies on the reading of articles on the history of  electromagnetism, reproduction of the main electromagnetism experiments, analysis of high frequency  circuits, in which reactive phenomena are best observed with a series of approaches related to real  problems of the industry, using for this a set of instruments mounted in the center of the classroom,  enabling the student to confront the theory and practice in a same stimulating learning environment.
