The engineeringprograms at Wentworth Institute of Technology strongly focus on project-based learning.Devices and prototyping are therefore an integral part of many of the courses for which physicsis a prerequisite. Hence, it is essential that students leave with a working knowledge of basiccircuit concepts as well as an appreciation for the complexity that can arise in circuit analysis.Given this population, the main learning outcomes of the new game-based exercise were forstudents to: 1. Demonstrate the ability to add resistors in series. 2. Demonstrate an ability to add resistors in parallel. 3. Decompose a complex circuit into its basic elements. 4
