The impact of take-home laboratories on student perceptions of conceptual and professional learning in electronic engineering across four European universities

Research exploring the advantages and limitations of different laboratory modes on student learning is critical so that engineering instructors can design hybrid/blended laboratories to maximise student learning. However, limited research explores the impact of take-home laboratories on student lear...
