Some strategies that can be used when students have access tosolution manuals include8-11: 1) creating customized homework/quiz; 2) lowering the weight ofhomework in the overall grade; and 3) using online software that is able to randomly change thenumerical numbers in the questions and grade homework automatically. But all these strategieshave their own drawbacks. For example, creating customized homework is very effective butrequires a significant amount of time, and thus, it is hard for faculty to implement given theirresearch and/or other teaching responsibilities

has always been a challenge in engineering education,spanning from early childhood education to university-level engineering courses. Prior research[5] has found common misconceptions in understanding circuits, such as the idea that currentdecreases as it flows through a component. Even advanced students have difficultydistinguishing between current and energy, leading to incorrect predictions about the behavior ofcircuits. These issues suggest that traditional teaching methods may not be sufficient for studentsto fully understand the concept of circuits. Researchers have also explored a variety ofinstructional strategies to address learning difficulties with circuits, including cognitive conflict,analogies, and hands-on experimentation. Of
