Electronics Engineering learning requires students’ active involvement in understanding problems and analyzing circuits in a contextual manner. Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by EveryCircuit can support this process through problem-solving activities and interactive circuit simulation. This study aims to analyze the profile of students’ responses to the implementation of PBL assisted by EveryCircuit in Electronics Engineering learning. The study employed a descriptive quantitative approach involving 36 students as the subjects. Data were collected through a questionnaire consisting of 10 statements using a 4-point Likert scale covering aspects of PBL and EveryCircuit. Data analysis was conducted using score percentages and student response categories. The results showed that the overall student response obtained a percentage of 77.08%, categorized as good. The response to the PBL aspect reached 78.06%, while the EveryCircuit aspect obtained 76.11%; both were categorized as good. The highest response was found in the group discussion indicator, with a percentage of 81.25%, while the lowest response was found in students’ interest in using EveryCircuit to learn other electronic circuits, with a percentage of 73.61%. These findings indicate positive student acceptance of the integration of PBL and EveryCircuit and provide an overview of students’ experiences in participating in problem-based learning supported by simulation media.
