A Laboratory Setup for Magnetic Filed Distribution Monitoring

Abstract

Nowadays, electrical and computers engineers are making their careers in designing smart, real time data acquisitions systems. This paper presents the computer laboratory setup and teaching methodology design to meet the needs in teaching magnetic field distribution. In modern world people spend a lot of time at their workplace. Because we live in age of electronic, usually working environment is surrounded with many different type of electric devices, e.g. telecommunication equipment, power grid, computers, mobile devices, different type of displays etc. Beside exposure to the influence of electromagnetic radiation from natural sources people are exposed to the influence of electromagnetic radiation from mentioned electronic devices from their working environment. The courses named Computer Control System and Remote Control allow the students to apply their previous knowledge of electrical sensors, microcontrollers systems, communications and software engineering to experience magnetic field distribution by designing and implementing large scale individual projects within semester. A flexible hardware platform accompanied by application and teaching methodologies allow quick completion of course exercises.
