-8 and 10. Topics coveredinclude sources, Ohm’s law, nodal and loop analysis, source transformation, superposition,Thevenin’s theorem, Norton’s theorem, op-amps, capacitors, inductors, first-order transients,diodes, phasors, impedance, filters, Bode plots, AC circuit analysis, and AC power.In the years past, including Fall 2012, Circuits I was taught traditionally. Lectures were given ineach class period on the material. Homework problems were assigned every week. Students wereassessed using weekly 15-minute quizzes, three mid-term exams, and a comprehensive finalexam. The Fall 2012 students served as the control group for this study.Since Spring 2013, Circuits I has been taught in the flipped format. In the flipped format,students are

.”Current Study from Introductory CircuitsThe objective of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of homework done throughWeBWorK on student development and learning, as opposed to traditional homework practices.Multiple studies have been done in the area of mathematics, but this experiment expanded it tothe discipline of engineering. The course chosen for the study was an introductory circuitscourse—Electrical Engineering and Circuits I (ENGR 221). This course is a requirement for allengineering students at Louisiana Tech and covers such topics as the following: fundamentalconcepts (like current, voltage, and resistance), units and laws; network theorems and networksimplification; phasors and AC solution of circuits; and power and

1>1 1.5-4; Using more than one modeResultsFigures 2-11 compare students’ usage of the identified four modes in the first midterm and thefinal exam. Frequencies and varieties of representational mode usage were analyzed. The dataanalyses were intended to help us understand if the usage of representational modes facilitated Page 26.747.8learning and/or vice versa. Figures 3 and 4 show how students applied multiple representationaltools while working on one problem in the first exam. The problem asked students to use phasorto analyze an AC RCL circuit and is shown in Figure 2
