Subject: Demonstrating
Department: Engineering Science
Contact email address: Dr Eleanor O'Hara eleanor.ohara@eng.ox.ac.uk
Details: There are opportunities for demonstrating in the Electrical laboratory in the Department of Engineering Science. Throughout the course of the year each undergraduate constructs a simple electronic “musical box”. The musical box is based on a programmable microcontroller development board with peripheral circuits built by the students. In the course we build (including soldering) and test the peripheral circuits (using of signal generators and oscilloscopes) and use these as inputs and outputs for the programmed microcontroller development board. Each laboratory has have pre-written "C" code to be downloaded onto the microcontroller.
Some guided editing of the code will be required to complete the exercises. The emphasis will be on understanding how the microcontroller can be used. Demonstrators are expected to have experience of soldering in addition to general laboratory test and measurement techniques. Knowledge of the "C" programming language would be helpful.
Labs run 11am-5pm with an hour lunch break, each Monday and Tuesday. It is usual for demonstrators to be in the lab for the whole of a session they demonstrate on, but part days may be accommodated. Typically a demonstrator would expect to undertake two or more sessions in a term.
Before any demonstrating can be carried out, demonstrators will need to complete a right to work check in the Engineering Department. The department also has its own online demonstrator training course which will need to be completed.
If you are interested please contact Dr Eleanor O'Hara (eleanor.ohara@eng.ox.ac.uk) at the Department of Engineering Science.
