concepts.This online assignments have video based coaching problems, tutorials with hints to guidestudents to learn the electrical circuit concepts and regular text book end of chapter homeworkproblems. As part of the course requirement, students are assigned to do the conceptual problemsto self-learn and to do more advanced problems to master the concepts. This mandatory requisitemakes them learn the chapter-materials in more in-depth. The aim of this study was to determinewhether this tool will indeed help students to learn the course materials to their own as well as totheir instructors’ satisfaction.This report will present information about the Mastering Engineering approach used in oursections and the weekly workload assigned to students.

was almost identical to one of the homework problems (numberschanged and sometimes slight changes in topology). The laboratory activities were unchangedand still included a mix of lab work and group problem solving. A midterm exam and a finalexam were given. Shown in Figure 1 is an excerpt from the course syllabus describing themethod of instruction. Method of Instruction: 1. Lecture classes will be a mixture of in class instruction and recorded lectures. Students will be responsible for checking the course management system classroom for recorded lectures that they must watch before attending class. Time will be allocated for in-class group problem solving

became evident as the semester progressed that students struggled withthe programming aspect of the course and that more attention to this topic should be addressedearlier in the semester. IV. AssessmentThe students’ perceived value of the course was assessed using an optional online survey thatcan be taken outside of class time. In order to assure data was not biased by students feelingforced to take the survey in class or respond in a positive manner, additional questions wereadded to the standard CoE evaluations given at the end of the semester. Furthermore, truthfulresponses are expected because students are made aware that the evaluations are anonymous andthe collective results are not released to the instructors until after grades are

On the first day of the class, the instructor Page 26.1472.4reviewed the syllabus of the course, course structure, and described the expectations of thecourse and student expectations from the instructor, and explained how a course grade and labwork were determined and evaluated. The project grading rubric was also introduced to thestudents in the first day of the class and is shown in Table 6. A 40-minute lecture covers
