  • Abstract
    This paper describes a learning methodology in undergraduate engineering courses for electrical engineering, based on a hands-on model class, this methodology. This work with undergraduate students and a Ph.D professor showed every academic period more and more students interested on the topic and to belong to the group, which started with five electrical engineering students and has been growing every semester almost 100%, with students from other engineering careers.
