The purpose of engineering education is to develop certain skills along with domain knowledge. In the domain of electronic circuit problem solving is very important skill. Though students are trained to solve circuit analysis problems they find it difficult to interpret, write equations to get the solution. These Multiple representation skills should be developed to solve the problem correctly. In...
The purpose of this paper is to identify criteria in selecting more successful and less successful students in physics problem solving. The focus of the study is to see if more successful problem solvers are more metacognitive in their approaches and, if so, what this differences look like. This study consisted of 21 students, which all had a physics background at the university level. All of the...
This paper describes our continued work in creating a set of narrated dynamically worked-out problems and the team based in-class problem solving for the Electric Circuits students to improve their problem-solving skills by understanding the key concepts and the way that they should be utilized in solving circuits' problems. The dynamically worked out problems, consists of problem solution annotated...
We present a description and preliminary results of our use of Tablet PCs to strengthen problem-solving skills in an upper-level course. This design is a modification of well-established steps used to teach increased competency in problem-solving strategies in engineering courses. Novelly, however, these steps are facilitated by the use of Tablet PCs by the students, which allows the instructor to...
Both Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) and Fuzzy Systems are intended as cognitively more plausible approaches to problem-solving and learning. The two corresponding fields have emphasized different aspects that complement each other in a reasonable way. In the present paper we introduce a fuzzy model for the representation of a CBR system, which is based on the formalization of CBR as a four steps process...
We are developing model eliciting activities (MEAs) for use in undergraduate engineering education to enhance problem solving ability as well as to provide a means for assessment. The MEA construct, originally developed by math educators, involves a student team developing an analytical model to solve a real-world, open-ended engineering problem and providing formal documentation of the solution procedure...
