Traditionally, these skillswere mainly developed in laboratory classes, but technologyallows us to explore other and complementary ways of aidingstudents in this achievement. This paper presents acontribution to improve the way OpAmps are included inelectronic engineering courses’ curricula. A reconfigurable andexpandable kit to teach electronic circuits based on the OpAmpuA741 was designed and implemented. This kit comprises asoftware application locally interfaced with a hardwareplatform capable of running in a PC. This platform includes acircuit with the OpAmp uA741 able to reconfigure accordingto a set of parameters defined by a software application. Itsreconfiguration capability also enables the establishment ofautomatic connections for measuring and for applying signalsto a reconfigured circuit, plus the ability to simulate the sameor other OpAmp-based circuits. This paper provides anoverview about the OpAmp uA741 and its relevance inengineering education. After presenting the kit and make someconsiderations for its improvement, at the end a briefdiscussion about its implementation in education according tospecific educational strategies and methodologies are provided.
