Engineering Education, 2024 Improved Student Learning in a Circuits Course With a Novel Web-Based SystemIntroductionA multiyear (unfunded) development effort has led to the creation of a web-based teaching andlearning system for circuit analysis. A key feature of the ''Circuit Analysis Tool for Education''(CATE) system is the ability to automatically generate topologically distinct circuits with step-by-step solutions. These problems are used for examples, practice, and for out-of-classassignments. Circuit problems can be readily refreshed for each new section of a course. Thecourse associated with this study was one for non-majors and covers DC analysis, AC phasorsand AC power, as well as transient analysis
) identity and culture. Program design andeffectiveness dominate the discourse of both divisions, suggesting that the two groups facesimilar challenges. Areas of apparent divergence include more concern with mindsets andinnovativeness in ENT and more emphasis on team skills and mentorship in LEAD. Thesefindings present opportunities for collaboration that could benefit all “Engineering and …”divisions and help overcome the inertia that characterizes engineering education. The permeationof topics across ASEE and the convergence of themes across divisions also suggest that forminga new division might perpetuate disciplinary siloes, rather than support knowledge integrationacross the “Engineering and . . .” divisions

Pre-college engineering learning programs in LatinAmerica span a wide variety of forms and have not yet reached mainstream popularity ineducational institutions [16]. In Chile, there are several existing engineering education programsfor high school students, but the concept of

Moreover, trends observed in the FederalHighway Administration driver’s license data and in the National Household Travel Survey datasuggest that the popularity of active modes of transportation, such as cycling, is continuouslyincreasing among the high school age group.
