Abstract

Following the COVID-19 crisis, the methodologies employed by educators have evolved into novel instructional practices. This dilemma hindered the progressive reintegration of students into laboratories at technological universities in Mexico. Objective: To develop a portable experimental platform, accompanied by a tutorial, utilizing Field Programmable Analog Arrays for an Electronics curriculum, focused on rapid prototyping and addressing the difficulties of developing practical skills. Methodology: quantitative, experimental, comparative, and cross-sectional. The performance of students in executing five practices within the Test Group is evaluated against two Control Groups. Kruskal-Wallis, epidemiological-regional, and digital divide analyses are provided to substantiate the platform's utilization, which has also demonstrated efficacy during the Popocatépetl volcanic activity of May 2023. A rise of roughly one point in the average grade on a scale of 1 to 10 is noted with the platform.
