FAQs | Digital Evaluation Board

More than just a passing grade

I’m worried

“Electronics seems complicated.”

We know what this looks like from day one all the way to graduation. We’ve designed this to support you at every step.

I’m confused and scared

“I’m lost all the time because I’m not prepared well enough before coming into this class.”

Using the DEB for your homework means it’s done right. Your confusion will melt away, your grades will improve, and your confidence will soar.

Missed opportunity

“If I never get interested in anything, I’ll never find a career.”

Once you put theory to work in the real world, electronics becomes a lot more interesting. Use your curiosity to help ignite interest in your future career path.

Good design is good business.

Instructors can make use of the interesting embedded features on the DEB which aids in making the circuits look quite simple instead of excessive wiring and giving it an intimidating look.

Boring and effective are mutually exclusive attributes in learning

It encourages the students to understand the digital electronics importance in the real world and helps them to think out of the box to get creative ideas apart from sticking to just theoritical knowledge.

Breadboards - a simple way to take circuits and electronics projects to the next level

The DEB kit makes the teaching and explaining process simpler by some amazing demonstrations.

Learning courses isn't enough until you have implemented some real life technology

The DEB product is compatible to be used by students ranging from the beginner to the advanced level especially due to it in-built features allowing to desgin and build circuits without much hassle.

Becoming a DIY Pro

When your circuit design skills become solid, you can really have some fun! Since the parts are functional, you can take an electronic device from your life and (safely!) add custom features and enhancements. Want a Halloween or Christmas sound and light show? Want to optically monitor a home beer brewing kit for two weeks during fermentation? The basic recipe is: design it on paper, build the circuit on the DEB, hook up new I/O, test it out.

Finding new ways to improve the world is what engineering is all about.

Fun classes and better grades

The textbook is important, but now you can bring it to life. Working on the DEB is more like playing with a Lego set than reading Shakespeare!

When you build cool stuff, you can upload a quick video to Facebook and impress your parents at home.

Start experiementing with new ways to do your current homework. Bring your ideas to class and show your instructor… maybe there’s extra credit in it for you?

Each person in your study group might tackle a complicated circuit in a different way. Who can get it to work? Everyone benefits from the results when homework is turned in.

Tell Your Customer Everything They Get

A tool for instructors, designed by an instructor.

Lesson plans and homework that integrate the tool.

Project plans where groups can work on different parts of a complete system.

Now every one of your student’s has their own Lab TA carried along in a backpack

What Value Will Your Customer Receive if They Do Business With You?

“OZG’s Systems’ Digital Evaluation Board helps fulfill instructor goals to make Digital Circuit design theory practical and deeply understood by students. The product reduces the need for lab access for every student and increases the likelihood that students interact positively with the course through a fun, purpose built educational device.”

In more practical language:

Make the classroom experience easier

Make my class a lot of fun.

Watch students becoming different people by the end.

What comes in the box

The DEB circuit board and attached breadboard, and 9V battery. It’s immediately useful out of the box.

Several different Integrated Circuit (IC) logic chips

Several lengths of pre-cut jumper wire organized in their own container.

Instructions on building your first circuit.

No more guessing–now I’m sure my homework is done perfectly.

How the DEB can help you learn

“The DEB reduces the need for expensive lab equipment and increases the flexibility needed to support learning through experimentation anywhere at anytime through a portable, fun, and self-contained device.”

This means:

Problems are more fun to solve with friends.

I can do more if I treat this like a calculator than pen and paper.

Theory makes more sense if I can do this with my own hands.

What Are You Helping Customers Overcome or Avoid?

Maximize great scores with each student evaluation.

Minimize the time it takes to develop and validate new lesson plans

Get customized content to make lesson planning easier.

Minimize cheating.

What Is the Cost of Not Doing Business With You?

Not what I want to do anyway

I’m into technology skills, not people skills.

I’m bored

beginning students just aren’t that interesting yet.

I’m frustrated

My old lab equipment has needed an upgrade for 5 years

Becoming an Engineer

I'm just starting

"How will I ever become an engineer if I don't even know what the parts are?" The DEB will help you unlock the mysteries inside the parts. Everyone has to learn the basics, but your skills building new circuits will surprise you soon enough.

Electronics is confusing

"I’ll never be able to get all these symbols to make digital circuitry that works.” Working on paper will be easier once you install parts and get the LEDs to work as they should. Installing the parts yourself connects the dots in your brain.

One of these circuits is really confusing to me

“OMG! I thought I knew what I was doing, but now I’m totally lost!” The DEB comes with instructions/tutorials to help you slow things down when you hit a wall. You can bring the half-built circuit to your instructor for help too.
