Abstract :
The use of small experiments as a tool for university teaching increases the student motivation, being considered useful elements for the improvement of the teaching and in particular skills, abilities, capacities and competences of the future engineer. This motive allows students manage his experience in the teaching/learning process while allowing to acquire a range of transverse competences that it can reveal in the course of their profession. At the same time, the development of small electronic devices is shown as a flexible, multidisciplinary science that adapts adequately to the objectives marked; on the one hand allows professors to implement various innovative teaching methods (Problem-Project Based Learning PBL, Challenge Problem CP, Case Method MdC,...) and on the other hand the student is clearly motivated to develop skills and competences related to this matter. Based on it, has been implemented a small application circuit destined to control commercial Radio-Frequency transceiver FM-433RF-RXQ1 that manages an operating frequency of 433,92 MHz in order to show to the student a simple application example of Industrial Electronic.
