Arduino — Enabling engineering students to obtain academic success in a design-based module

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (IEEE Xplore: Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON), 2016)

A key graduate attribute for engineering students is the design and development of solutions for real-life problems. Enabling students to grasp engineering design principles often proves challenging, especially within ...
Design and development of practical instruction for freshmen engineering students in a renewable energy course

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (IEEE Xplore: Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON), 2017)

Technical competence and problem solving skills are key graduate attributes that engineering students must develop, especially within a practical laboratory. A new specialized course in renewable energy was introduced ...
Detecting the presence of pigeons on PV modules in a pico-solar system

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (IEEE Xplore: IEEE Africon Proceedings, 2017)

Shading caused by the presence of pigeons can negatively affect the output power of a PV module in a pico-solar system. This is due to the fact that the body of the pigeon may interrupt the direct beam radiation received ...
Extending the Technology Acceptance Model for E-learning Discussion Forum Adoption

Louw, Jenny; Swart, Arthur J; Bere, Aaron (African Engineering Education Association Conference, CUT, FS, 2016)

The advancement on Information and Communication Technology and the Internet for educational purposes has been a staple discourse among researchers in recent years. However, preliminary investigations indicate that ...
A framework to encourage the use of reflective practices by undergraduate engineering students in a design-based module

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (IEEE Xplore: Global Engineering Education Conference (EDUCON), 2017, )

Design-based learning is drawn from concepts relating to problem-based and project-based learning. Design-based learning is used in this paper to refer to the design and construction of an electronic hardware project by ...

Student Voices regarding Practical Instruction in a Solar Energy Course indicates Student Satisfaction

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (African Engineering Education Association Conference, CUT, FS., 2016)

Within higher education, student voices or perceptions are useful in measuring effective instruction and are important to evaluate the nature and quality of educational interventions. Student voices are often considered ...
Studying the effect of full uniform shading on a PV module using a LabVIEW simulation model

Hertzog, Pierre E; Swart, Arthur J (Stellenbosch: Southern African Universities Power Engineering Conference SAUPEC, 2017)

Simulations designed in LabVIEW may be used in many engineering applications, including the design of stand-alone PV systems. The influence of full uniform shading, which included thin clouds and contrails, on the day to ...
