We’re thrilled to announce the release of the DECEL Handbook, the culmination of three years of collaborative innovation in higher education across Europe!

Developed by a consortium of four leading universities — University of Alcalá (Spain), University of Porto (Portugal), University of Ferrara (Italy), and Université de Tours (France) — the DECEL (Digital Electronics Collaborative Enhanced Learning) project has reimagined how experimental engineering courses are taught, shared, and scaled.

🔍 What’s Inside? The DECEL Handbook is your practical guide to transforming STEM education through:

• Modern Teaching Methodologies: Active, project-based, and collaborative learning tailored for hands-on disciplines.
• Remote Laboratories & Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS): Real-time access to physical lab equipment from anywhere in the world.
• The DECEL Digital Platform: A modular, open-access learning environment that integrates remote labs, COIL projects, and more.
• COIL (Collaborative Online International Learning): International teamwork embedded into the curriculum, fostering intercultural skills and global collaboration.
• Implementation Guidelines: Step-by-step strategies, templates, and real-world case studies to help institutions adopt and adapt the DECEL model.

💡 Why Read It? Whether you’re a university leader, educator, instructional designer, or policy maker, this handbook offers:

• A scalable and adaptable framework for course modernization.
• Proven strategies to bridge the gap between education and industry.
• Tools to empower students with both technical and transversal skills — from teamwork to intercultural communication.

🌍 Join the Movement The DECEL Handbook isn’t just a summary — it’s an invitation. An invitation to reimagine engineering education, to collaborate across borders, and to build a more inclusive, flexible, and future-ready learning ecosystem.
