Development of Class and Lab Experiments Model Library to Enhance the Quality of Engineering Education
Description:
The main objective of this project is developing and disseminating an innovative, technology based class and lab experiments model library in order to enhance the quality of engineering education. The emphasis and style of the proposed course should
- introducing software enhanced teaching environment in class that will support sequenced discussions moderated by instructors and rich textual as well as graphical communication between students and instructors
- introducing students to the methodology through simple, yet practical, examples to stimulate their interest in engineering before exposing them to rigor math
- giving students a better 'feel' for the topic by problem graphical visualisation and interactive virtual experiments
- improving the understanding capacity of student and teaching efficiency of instructor in class
- allowing different target groups to select individual paths through the course, paths tailor-made to their needs and respecting their background knowledge
- allowing for self-study combined with investigative and collaborative modes of learning
- integrating computers into the course curriculum consistently
- exploiting the computers not only for equation solving, but also for equation formulating thus avoiding an unnecessary distraction of students from the study objectives
- giving students the opportunity to benefit from 'organisational learning', i.e. from utilising knowledge recorded during previous problem solving both in academia and industry
