-Students, mainly non-electrical engineering majors, struggle in understanding the Principles of Electrical Engineering course. Some student struggle is probably due to 1) non-electrical engineering majors consider this course to be non essential, since it is not related to their majors, 2) have difficulty to picture how electric circuits work, and 3) lack of background in electrical engineering. To overcome these struggles, interactive learning modules are created. The revised studio format encourages students to learn by doing, not just listening, and to improve student understanding of difficult concepts. Initial experiences by both faculty and students have been positive.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
