Undergraduates give gradsopportunities to learn how to communicate with and manage others, a valuable professional skill.Dan’s postdoc James argued that this is the most important reason to include undergraduates in aresearch group: “I think [teaching undergraduates] is not very helpful for the project, but it’svery helpful for grad students to learn how to teach the junior students.” He believes thatundergraduates’ presence benefits grad students’ development more than the lab’s research.

. Introduction1.1. MotivationBasic linear circuit analysis is frequently a fundamental engineering core course requirement forelectrical engineering nonmajors, as well as for electrical engineering majors, and is therefore avery widely taught subject. For electrical engineering majors, the skills learned in this course areessential for their success in subsequent courses. A bad or unsuccessful learning experience maycause students to change their major or drop out of engineering altogether. Traditional lecture-based instruction uses a “one size fits all” approach that fails to adapt to the widely varyinglearning styles and backgrounds of the students. The goal of this project is to develop computer-aided instruction tools to increase the student success

As aresult, many introductory programming instructors do not have the time or resources to iterate andenhance their pedagogical practice.

These challenges are scaled-down engineeringproblems related to the NAE Grand Challenges that engage students in collaborative, team-basedproblem solving via the modeling process. With features aligned with professional engineeringpractice, DCs are hypothesized to support student motivation for the task as well as for theprofession.
