As a graphical pedagogical tool for knowledge organization, representation, and elicitation, concept mapping has been widely employed to improve student conceptual knowledge and understanding in a variety of academic disciplines. In the traditional approach to concept mapping, the instructor develops concept maps and then shows them in lectures. This work-in-progress study takes a non-traditional,...
This paper presents our ongoing efforts toward developing an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) to improve student learning in a sophomore engineering dynamics course. An ITS module was developed to guide students applying the Principle of Work and Energy to solve particle dynamics problems. Pre-post tests, each including six technical questions, were administrated to 74 engineering undergraduates...
This paper reports ongoing efforts of integrating mathematical modeling with computer visualization to improve students' problem solving in an introductory Engineering Dynamics course. A special set of computer simulation and animation (CSA) learning modules was developed, implemented, and assessed in an Engineering Dynamics course taught by the author of this paper in multiple semesters. Qualitative...
