Abstract

Circuit Theory is an entry level crucial course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering programs and is a cross-listed course for other engineering programs. In-depth understanding of Circuit Theory is critical for the future success of Electrical and Computer Engineering students as well as other engineering students. However, the students from all the programs face various degree of challenges in mastering Circuit Theory as research shows. Ideally, students learn various techniques to solve circuit problems; it is especially important that they develop the capability to decide which technique will be more efficient or appropriate for a given circuit. The study focuses on how to support student success in the course by creating an archive of videotaped problem-solving demonstrations. In addition to instructors’ solutions in the lectures, student-developed problem-solving demonstration videos are provided. The impacts of the video archive are compared in different semesters. The study explores the impact on the success during pre-covid, covid and post-covid times with no video solutions, and with video solutions for both in-person and online classes. With the student performance, as average grade, used as the indicator, the results of the study reveal that the video archive has effective and positive impact on the students’ success which is also dependent of the mode of instruction.
