Extensive Automation Laboratory Exercise Using Low-Cost Hardware for Teaching Stepper Motors and Digital Twin Technology Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway The purpose of the exercise is truly multifaceted. We’d like to teach the students about digital twin technology, stepper motors, H-bridge, limit-switches, hardware hookup, calibration and PLC programming. The pedagogical framework for this student lab activity is grounded in problem-based and student-active learning, with segmentation as a key component. Segmentation involves breaking down complex tasks, concepts, or problems into smaller, manageable units that are logically connected. Each segment targets a specific sub-skill, enabling learners to master one part before progressing to the next. The authors have used this assignment in their teaching for 3 years, about 150 students/hand-ins. Results are that the students seem to appreciate the modularity of the assignment, even if it is challenging. Furter the students appreciate the joy of seeing the wing physically move as intended from their own coding. As teachers we see that the students seem quite motivated by the assignment. they ask good questions and learn “the hard way” that a software simulator and hardware can be quite different. In essence, the narrative about the fighter jet wing serves to give students some motivation and context it could be any stepper motor application. | |
