INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY
The instructional strategy combines lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on labs. Lectures
will cover key concepts, while demonstrations will illustrate component functions and
instrument operations. Handson labs will provide practical experience with electronic
components and measuring instruments. Interactive quizzes and problem-solving sessions
will reinforce and assess understanding, ensuring practical application of theoretical
knowledge.
