Abstract :
Design, implementation, and experience of application of HomeLabKits are described. HomeLabkit is a small box containing everything needed to perform labs in a courses related to introduction into electrical engineering. In addition to the kit, a student needs a computer with Internet connection only. Both power supply and data processing is performed over USB-connection. The paper describes content of kit, the labs for which the kit has been designed, software functions and experience of application during one and half year (3 semesters). The different categories of students have used the kit and also different modes of usage were tested. Very positive results have lead us to the decision to base labs on HomeLabKits only.
