Teaching Fault Finding in Domestic Installations.
What do you need? ... Some prepared installations. A least one board or installation for each team of students.
Put in some faults. We asked some companies to fill in a survey. The list with results can be an inspiration.
Devide your class into small groups of maximum 4 students. Let the students study or prepare a system on how to look for faults. We came up with the following flowchart.
We also asked our students to fill in a report during different phases of the fault finding job. An example of this report can be downloaded here.
To make the fault finding more fun at the end... we have asked our students to put in faults in the boards for the other teams.
