concern for educational researchers and educators has been finding ways to improve currentlearning techniques to consequently improve students’ conceptual understanding. Examples of suchstrategies consist of including computational and laboratory activities, and components of cyberlearningtools used along with traditional materials.This study explores the use of multiple student-generated and computer-generated representations as afeasible mechanism to improve conceptual understanding of electric circuits 8–10. Thus, the guidingresearch questions are: How effectively do students use multiple representations of electric circuits? Andwhat is the relationship between students’ conceptual understanding of circuits and their performance ona

The capstone students are required to identify aneducational need within the mechanical engineering technology program. This need is discussedwith the faculty for the development of a hands-on laboratory instrument that will facilitatelearning in the program. The results from these discussions determine the design requirementsfor the capstone project. These capstone students must also learn the design process that hasmilestones with deliverables associated with a Gantt chart and work breakdown structure. Theymust also develop an instructional lab with a series of questions that helps reinforce the theorytaught in the classroom. And finally, they are

engineering courses could provide an authentic laboratory experience that helpsimprove students’ conceptual understanding of engineering mechanics concepts. Moreover,physical manipulatives are easy to implement, easy to duplicate and distribute,13 and can beextended to include different engineering subjects.Other studies have investigated the use of physical manipulatives in a variety of STEM areas. Theuse of hands-on (physical) manipulatives has helped engineering students in modeling andengineering problem solving.7 For instance, Coller indicated that the manipulatives helpedstudents increase their understanding of engineering concepts when they used manipulatives andwere able to see and feel reactions created by the manipulative.7 Another study
