Teaching Reform and Practice of Sensor Course Based on Arduino+NI Multisim

The current state of sensor course instruction faces several challenges, including a lack of experimental facilities, limited practical training projects, an overemphasis on theory at the expense of hands-on experience, and a reliance on conventional teaching methods. These issues result in low student engagement, a lack of motivation and proactivity, and subpar teaching outcomes. To address these concerns, this study introduces an integrated approach that combines the open-source Arduino software-hardware platform and the NI Multisim virtual simulation platform. This approach optimizes teaching resources to foster student autonomy, as well as cultivate their engineering practice and innovation capabilities. The results of the teaching practice reform demonstrate an improvement in the effectiveness of the course, effectively empowering students to take on an active role in their learning, while also enhancing the guidance provided by teachers.
