Here we can see a student working whith pneumatics. Whith help of compressed air they learn the basics in how to controll cylinders whith help from different valves. The walves can distribue compressed air in different direktions so the cylinders can move in and out.
Hi Jörg!
ReplyDeleteI am intrested in how classes you have.
The education is very complex so I guess that you have lessons with small groups.
I mean of course how big classes:-)
ReplyDeleteI understand!
DeleteIt differs, mostly around 15 students.
Jorg it is great that the students have the chance to practice like this. Do you use this teaching strategy often in your lessonbs? How big are your classes? How much theory do they learn?
ReplyDeleteWe are trying to give the students a good mix between theoretics and praxis. In this case we start by showing the components and explaining how they work. We use drawings and specificacions from the manufacturers and also where thy can find these things in real life, such as busdoors etc.
DeleteThen they start coupling and try-out after given instructions.
When its time for new theory we gader the class and explain what will come.
Classes are mostly around 16 students.
... and to fill in with Rose Brennan's question, what kind and how much of educational media, you are using?
ReplyDeleteWe are using a pc-based software called fluid-sim.
DeleteHere the students can couple the process and simulate it directly in pc-enviroment.
This eqipment is quite expensive, How many students can use your lab at a time?
ReplyDeleteWe have 3 pneumatic-labtables, 2 sides each. 3 students at each side makes 18 students. The best is 2 students at each side for best result.
DeleteThe fluid sim software is on a certain amount of stationary computers. Often we have a server-licence and we are allowed to work whith a certain amount of computers to the server.
