Session 3232 Multimedia and Web Techniques for Teaching Circuits I Charles Slivinsky University of Missouri-ColumbiaAbstractA variety of computer and Web-based techniques are being employed for instruction in thesophomore-level electrical circuits course at the University of Missouri-Columbia. For theclassroom lectures, presentation software is used; the slides produced are based on an archive ofseveral years’ lecture notes and make effective use of graphics design techniques and simpleanimations; students use their paper copies to take notes during class. For homework
on problem solving techniques for basic electrical engineering, itmeets 3 times a week for fifty minutes. The material was reinforced with mandatory, gradeddaily homework assignments and supplemented with weekly 2-hour laboratories whichdemonstrated the concepts being taught in the classroom. To better reach the students, weaugmented these traditional teaching methods with extensive use of multimedia in the classroom.Each classroom is equipped with a multimedia personal computer (PC) connected to a“Smartboard”, a device that serves both as both a large screen display and as an interactive touchscreen. The display is driven by a projection system connected to the PC. Utilizing one of fourdifferent colors, the Smartboard also permits us to

Therefore, results were collected and reportedbased on the numerical average.Student comments were collected from course evaluations as well from conversations that tookplace after the course was completed. Not all students provided comments related to the class.Teaching Methods and AssignmentsIn addition to teaching innovation in this course, we also explored alternative methods ofinstruction. We focused on increasing student engagement in the course. One way we did thatwas to introduce the students to a variety of experiential learning methods. For example, ourcourse was taught at the same time as the on-campus farmers market, allowing us to use it as anon-campus learning laboratory. Patrons and vendors were used in
