For example, at the University of Virginia, we now consideradvanced materials fabrication techniques and applications, heterogeneous systems, neurologicalprocessing, and artificial intelligence all to be related to the field. Complicating this state
technology has made it imperative foreducators to adapt their teaching methodologies to incorporate e-learning supplements. A topicspecific survey of educational tools for Electrical and Computer Engineering conducted by theauthor revealed that the available e-learning aids can mainly be used as ‘study guides’ or‘homework solvers’. However, none actually serve as a ‘practice’ software to allow the studentsto emphasize their knowledge. Presented here is a tool to serve as a web-based application thatallows students to practice the knowledge they acquired in Electrical and Computer Engineering.As a starting point, a Karnaugh Map evaluator was built as an example of the proposed methodof learning. The Interactive Karnaugh Map Evaluator is a tool to

Electric vehicles are cited as the leadingreplacement for fossil-fueled vehicles, and EV use is expected to expand very significantly in thenext twenty years [34]. Canepa et al. identified a need for more electric vehicles in communitiesto improve air quality and improve environmental parity [35]. The U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency acknowledges that high toxic burdens exist in some areas; some communitiessay these harms have yet to be remediated and more participatory decision

Thus, collaborative learning is a core approach in hands-on lab projects commonlyused in electrical engineering technology courses.2.4 Problem-based Learning (PBL)Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method where students work on an open-ended, real-world problem and work in teams to identify learning needs and develop a solution.Typically, it is introduced at the beginning of the course and provides the context and motivationfor learning additional material. In PBL, instructors are usually facilitators as opposed to themain source of information. Successful PBL should start with well-designed problems in order to Page

Thus, the discovery-based learning objectives dealing withthe production of carbon nanotubes using electric discharge machining are satisfied. Studentcomments are positive. The described experimental setup is inexpensive and reproducible.Acknowledgments This project was supported in part by NSF Grant 0407289.Bibliography1. M.

also prepare students for engineering projects that transcend limitedcourse scopes. For example, electric circuits courses provide underlying conceptual andmathematical principles to model electronics. However, in practice, electrical projects can beinterdisciplinary and go beyond the basic models introduced in class. Additionally, it is difficultto combine multifaceted sociotechnical concepts into entry level circuits classes. One method fordeveloping course modules for electric circuits that explore technical content with a societalcontext is described by Lord, Przestrzelski and Reddy [1]. We offer a solution to better integrate the technical circuit concepts and societalprinciples in an undergraduate circuits course. Specifically, we

Peer Instruction is an instructional approach that fosters students’collaboration to increase conceptual understanding. Data was collected from three sectionsof the course mentioned above. In two sections, students attended a traditional class format(51 students) while another section (15 students) implemented the Peer Instructionmethodology. The research question driving this project was whether Peer Instructionwould produce significantly higher learning gains than the traditional blackboard and chalkapproach. A difference was determined using a quasi-experimental study comparing thelearning gains of the

During this meeting the faculty evaluator would evaluate students on their maturity,approach to learning, general attitude, and problem solving maturity. Finally the facultycoordinator would meet with the TAs and mentors and go over each student’s growth andachievements.

A quasi-experimental study also found that the integration of AR movies intoonline teaching activities for physics enhanced students' comprehension of fundamentalprinciples [14]. Similarly, an intervention by Cai et al. [15] showed that AR in physicsclassrooms can increase students' self-efficacy by improving their understanding, higher-levelcognitive skills, knowledge application, and communication.Several AR applications have focused on learning vectors in the context of 3D geometry [16],electric forces [4], gravitational forces [1], as well as other physical forces and their Cartesiancomponents [17].
