Although specifically adapted to thetwo-course electric circuit theory sequence, the results reported here can probably be applied toany sophomore level engineering course.IntroductionCopious research has shown that traditional lecturing is a very inefficient way to facilitateconceptual learning1, and that student-centered active learning can result in a deeperunderstanding of the concepts in question2. Furthermore, when active learning is conducted inan extensively group-based learning environment, e.g., problem-based learning, project-basedlearning, or team-based learning, students develop various generic, professional functioningknowledge skills, such as problem-solving, written and oral communication, independentlearning, team work

pyramids contain a web of endless tunnels, most of which lead to dead end, andonly one leads to the burial chamber of the king. This maze of complex tunnels is totallyinvisible from the outside and can only be appreciated if rendered in three-dimensions. Thispaper will show how these pyramids were modeled in SL to help the students interactivelyexplore these invisible features of the pyramids and understand the symbol behind variousfeatures of engineering and architectural features. Assessment of the outcome of this project,included quizzing the students on the information pertaining to features hidden inside thepyramids as shown in SL models, and the relationship between a place and the cultural aspectconnected to the function it serves.

properly during the projected presentations, most of the motions were lost inthe recorded versions. This is because a new slide image would be captured only at the end ofeach animation step. On playback then, animations would appear somewhat disjointed. Also,the recording of a new slide image with each animation step resulted in many slightly changingcopies of each Powerpoint slide appearing in the timestamp and slide preview windows of therecording. This made searching and forwarding in the captured lecture a little more cumbersomefor students.The audio stream for the recordings was captured from a USB wireless microphone worn by theinstructor. The directional microphone provided a clear recording of the instructor’s voice.However, it was unable

Different types of energy sources were introduced, especially fossilfuels and green energy sources. A comparison of the consumption between fossil fuels and greenenergy sources was made to show that the predominant energy source in the U.S. and the worldat present is fossil fuel.Some major challenges related to energy were explained, such as increasing energy

Fulfilling this need remains at the hands of institutions ofhigher education. Their challenge is to recruit and educate a population whose interest in theSTEM disciplines has steadily declined over the years. There are two ways institutions of higher education can keep up with the demand formore engineers.
