Group A was required to use Circuit Tutor for the topic of DCsuperposition, and to do similar problems in WileyPLUS (for the Irwin & Nelms textbook [17])for the topic of DC source transformations as part of one homework assignment. Group B didthe reverse, so that both groups used both systems for part of this homework. Videos ofproblems being worked were available in both Circuit Tutor and in WileyPLUS, but CircuitTutor did not have introductory tutorials available on these topics at the time of this experiment.Students relied on lectures and the textbook

In the mechatronics courses,each school has chosen to emphasize particular aspects of this interdisciplinary field. Most ofthese courses include labs. They tend to use small DC brush motors, introduce basic electronics(OpAmps, transistors, LEDs, etc.), interfacing circuits and programming microprocessors at theboard level to build popular projects such as LEGO robots (Figure 2c), line-following robots ormaze solving robots. Many of these courses are offered jointly with electrical engineeringprograms. (a) (b) (c)Figure 2

However, we opted to take a different approach anddevelop a minor degree specific to social science students given that (a) prior programmingexperience and mathematical background have been shown to predict success in introductoryprogramming courses, e.g., [11] - [13], and (b) social science students typically have noprogramming and very little math background relative to CS majors. As such, we developed anentirely new series of four courses with content crafted specifically for these students, such thatclasses are taken only with fellow social science students (similar to the computational socialscience minor at UC San Diego).
