BEE4433 Antenna Theory and Propagation

Today’s class covers the chapter on Broadband Antennas, focusing on 2 main structure – helical antenna and log periodic dipole array.

Broadband antennas are preferred due to its wide band coverage properties. A single unit is able to cater various frequency applications.

For this chapter, students are required to:-

  1. watch the broadband antenna video and submit a concept inventory review via KALAM feedback
  2. answer tutorial no 4 regarding helical and LPDA antenna
  3. simulate a helical antenna structure and discuss the operating mechanism of the antenna

Creating Interactive Content for Online Learning

My philosophy in engaging students to the class has always involve 3 aspects; the trainer/lecturer, the students and the content. With education being affected to the new norm, thanks to covid-19, the content of a class/lecture is where I spent the most of my time as to assure attention span of students is maintained throughout the online session. There are still plenty to be done, but it is surely something that is I’ve always looked forward into.

In this sharing session, Dr. Ahmad Salahuddin Mohd Harithuddin, a Senior Lecturer from Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) creatively deliver useful tips and techniques as well as  resources to create engaging session. Here are some of the snapshots of the session.

 

UMP STEM Lab Online Class – Arduino Programming Session 1

November 23 – 24th

Arduino Programming via TinkerCAD is an online class organised by UMP STEM LAB.

The main focus of this class is to give an overview, basic introduction to the physical computing – digital making skills – on the Arduino Microcontroller platform. TinkerCAD offers an alternative that enables students to program and visualize the microcontroller (hardware) responses.
