Simulate to Stimulate

1
Electronics Workbench An
electronics design and simulation software
package This commercial software is used as a
formative tool, to provide underpinning for a
wide range of Stage 1 Stage 2 modules in a
student-centred learning environment-

• provides a means of understanding circuit
  principles and operations by interactive use of
  the available measurement tools (similar to real
  laboratory instruments)
• supports tutorial problem-solving, by
  allowing trial and error approaches to complement
  theoretical solution methods
• helps development of troubleshooting skills
  and techniques
• provides a springboard for circuit design,
  thus facilitating future individual project work
• The take-up and ownership is very high-
• due to the School making available 100
  copies of the package for students to use at home
• self-study lab sheets being available on the
  web

• Create to Calculate

• Simulate to Stimulate

• Practically at Home

• Electronics Workbench
