Abstract
Most of our new generation students are experiential learners, whose understanding of engineering theories is enhanced by hands-on activities, simulation, and needs to be able to break down the problems. Using computational tools MATLAB helps to break down problems into steps and visualize the simulation results to develop their understanding abilities in order to help them in their future classes. MATLAB Live Editor®, Simulink® and Simscape® are used to create interactive documents and models, which combine formatted text, equations, codes, figures, and simulations to improve students’ understanding of fundamental electric circuits analysis. Students are able to check their understanding by verifying the results, playing with the supplementary resources. The activities are good examples of pedagogical effectiveness for sophomore level engineering students. In this paper, students’ performance are assessed whether the students have achieved the learning goals and measured the impacts of these changes on students' motivations and attitudes.
