Keller, together with Gil Sherman, laterperfected the method -- known as the Personalized System of Instruction -- while teachingpsychology at the University of Arizona. From there, PSI spread to other disciplines and to otheruniversities. Billy Koen first applied the PSI method to engineering education in 1969 5. Basedon his success, other engineering instructors adopted the method. PSI courses were developed in Page 4.534.1many disciplines including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Library Science, Biology, andeven Philosophy.The 1970's saw a rapid growth of PSI

Concepts like voltage, current, and Ohm’s Law often seem abstract,hindering comprehension. This work-in-progress introduces the Circuit Teaching with Real-WorldAnalogies (CTRWA) framework, which applies relatable analogies such as a water tank for voltageand current to improve understanding. Data from 50 students were collected through surveys,quizzes, and interviews, revealing that water-based analogies were the most effective, while others

All labexperiments were accomplished via simulation, either on an analog computer, or on one of thelab’s digital computers using Matlab and Simulink by MathWorks.2Simulation using either method has its limitations. The need to control real hardware, and not justsimulations, is known to all who design and build real control systems.

The study finds low-preparedness does not present asignificant barrier to obtaining satisfactory performance, but limits academic excellence. It isuseful for Civil Engineering instructors to understand the impact of students’ previousknowledge on subsequent courses, as well as their academic excellence.1.
