The process of studying electronic circuits in higher education can be divided into the following phases, i.e. theoretical analysis, computer simulation, assembling components and measurements. The above phases represent a part of the manufacturing process. While studying, the student usually passes all these phases alone. In the manufacturing process, there are expert teams which deal with the production. Therefore, an engineer, beside being an expert, is required to be able to join the teamwork and work with other members of the team successfully. In that case he should have adequate interpersonal skills. When the approach mentioned above is dealt with, it is necessary to introduce cooperative learning, i.e. more students will be involved in solving complicated tasks or projects. Such cooperation, monitored by the teacher, will give them not only expert knowledge but other skills required for team work, as well. This approach used for solving problems follows Bologna process trends. This article deals with the team work of electronics students dealing with a device for recording transistor output characteristics and the way in which such an approach may be applied in higher education.
