Organic electronics - From lab to markets

Abstract— Organic semiconductors with conjugated electron system are currently intensively investigated for optoelectronic applications. This interest is spurred by novel devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLED), organic solar cells, and flexible electronics. In this talk, I will discuss some of the recent progress in realizing devices, in particular highly efficient white OLED for ...

Electronics lab instructors’ approaches to troubleshooting instruction

In this exploratory qualitative study, we describe instructors’ self-reported practices for teaching and assessing students’ ability to troubleshoot in electronics lab courses. We collected audio data from interviews with 20 electronics instructors from 18 institutions that varied by size, selectivity, and other factors. In addition to describing participants’ instructional practices, we charac...
