The use of Open EducationResources (OER), which are materials that have low or no cost for academic use, can helpaddress the issue of access. Construction Management Technology courses can realize thisbenefit relatively easily, as the needed resources may often be accessed or created based onmaterials available from public agencies at all levels of government.

Education, 2020 WAVEFORM GENERATION IN POWER ELECTRONIC CONVERTER USING OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING IN MATLAB ABSTRACTThe paper presents the programming methodology for generating voltage and current waveforms in power electronicconverters using MATLAB. Although these waveforms can also be obtained by using MULTISIM or PLEXIMsimulation tools, but using MATLAB increases understanding of the circuit operation in steady state better. In thismethod, the power electronic converter circuit is first resolved into circuit modes (states) based on the specificationsand switching strategy employed. The inductor currents and capacitor voltages are used as objects with propertiesand methods

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces. Visual information helps us to
