Electronic logic gates in the education of mechatronics students

Abstract

This article presents and justifies the placement of electronic circuits that perform logical functions in the education content for mechatronics students, as well as the need to design a workstation for studying basic circuits performing these functions - logic gates - that would account for both their technological and functional transformations. On the basis of the analysis of existing solutions, a designed and constructed stand for testing logical gates is described. The descriptive part of the article is supplemented by an empirical part containing an assessment of the usefulness of the stand by a group of 12 expert users, graduates of engineering studies, who have several years of experience working with electronic circuits. The experts highly rated the tested laboratory stand - with an average score of 4.33 points (on a scale from 1 to 5) and formulated a number of valuable comments on the design and use of the workstation.
