This paper presents the implementation of a laboratory classroom for teaching medical electronics
technology by introducing computer-based electronics simulation combined with traditional laboratory methods. A
survey of Electronic CAD (ECAD) tools, both in terms of literature and software benchmarking, has been carried
out prior to the selection concerning the appropriate software tool used in the present implementation. The
electronics simulation focuses on educating biomedical engineering undergraduate students in medical electronics
principles, by providing additional in-depth training, combined with the classical electronics laboratory training.
Traditional “hands-on” training methodology is not discarded, since experience gained in the laboratory
environment cannot be substituted by virtual environments. The structure of the laboratory gives emphasis on
student-centered learning.
