At the same time, U.S.industry leaders and leading educators have called for improvements in engineering educationbased on more interactive, hands-on student learning experiences. Although many efforts havebeen made to take advantage of technology to either improve student learning or to maintainstudent learning while increasing instructor efficiency, few approaches have been shown toimprove both learning and efficiency. A teaching method is proposed to improve studentlearning and increase student satisfaction
