Re: using NanoVNA in University classes


 

Nothing on Arxive or SciHub - article might be too new, though.

I couldn’t find it on Arxive, but I may not have spent enough time looking.

Or if you find an alternate source.? I'd suggest an email to one of the authors or check Arxive or equivalent. There are often prepress versions available.

They sent a package to each student containing breadboarding materials and the NanoVNA. The students built their own circuits using 3mm wide copper foil tape, etc. as well as using prebuilt boards.

Abstract: The widespread offering of online engineering classes has not been without its share of controversy [1]–[7]. There are those who question the pedagogic quality of courses made freely available through video-sharing platforms like YouTube, which feature largely crowdsourced and crowd-vetted content, despite such technologies figuring prominently in the evolving skill sets and preferences of engineering students. The same group typically considers the more traditional in-person format to be a critical element in learning engineering fundamentals, serving the secondary purpose of fostering much-needed discipline, patience, imagination, and visualization. Most established engineering institutions have recognized the value of both approaches (consider these popular examples: the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [8] and NPTel [9]) and supplemented a majority of their in-person classes with a smattering of online offerings, though reservations may persist [10]–[12].
