Engineering
education prepares students for life by presenting theoretical and practical
knowledge together. A common method is applying laboratory experiments for
practicing theoretical knowledge by students. The objective of the laboratory
experiments is to gain student the ability of transferring theoretical
knowledge to practice and see the differences between theory and practice.
However; classical evaluation of laboratory courses has some difficulties in
terms of assessing complex input factors related to students. Educational data
mining, which has been widely used recently, allows evaluations for student
performance to be made easier. Implementing educational data mining for
laboratory lesson can be important contributions to the determination of the
factors affecting student performance and the structuring of training methods
accordingly. In this study, Electronic Circuits Laboratory Course, which is the
practice of Electronic Circuits Course as a basic course of Computer
Engineering education, were examined. A laboratory data set called ELECTROLAB was
created by collecting data from these courses. The first phases of CRISP, the
standard for data mining operations, have been implemented on this data set.
The data set was prepared and the attributes in the data set were analyzed
according to these phases. In the study, R programming language and Weka
program were used. The data set created by this study and the analysis process
will be the source of data mining methods to be applied in future studies. In
this way, it will be possible to determine the factors that affect the student
performance and to make studies to increase the success.
