Popis: Introductory courses on electric circuits at undergraduate level are usually presented in quite abstract terms, with questions and problems quite far from practical problems. This causes the students have difficulties to apply that theory to solve practical technical problems. On the other hand, electric circuits are everywhere in our lives, so we have plenty of real practical problems. Here we compile a selection of practical contexts suited for implementing Problem Based Learning approach in an introductory course on circuit analysis. And some examples describing the gamification process that uses these problems to build single-player role-playing games that fulfil the course contents and scheduling. The key point of the assessment and how it is related to the progress in the game is also described.
