Integration of Computer-Based Electronics Laboratory into a Control Sytems Course in Electronics Technology

工程-工程技术（58）该项目的目标是适应其他研究人员的工作，以改善电子计算机技术（ECT）的电子讲座和实验室内容的交付，为就读于工业技术的学生。该项目正在为控制系统的高级电子课程创建在线讲座和实验室材料。 该项目是：（1）修订讲座和实验室内容，使之符合网络教学的有效性理论（Fisher& Nygren，2000年; Shiratuddin、哈桑和Landoni，2003年）;（2）利用网络计算机技术编制多媒体讲座材料（Sharer& Frisbee，2003年）;（3）修订实验室活动，纳入电子工具包，使学生能够按照Wang（2003年）建立的模式完成十项实验练习;（4）调整课程材料，使之符合关于妇女和少数民族学生学习风格的研究;（5）将LabVIEW和Multisim集成到课程中，为学生提供逼真的、基于行业的仿真体验。该项目是建立在圣何塞州立大学的基于问题的学习倡议基础上的，它使用移动的技术来改变学习环境。学生使用本课程的表现将与谁是在使用电子测试设备的传统实验室注册的学生进行比较。该项目正在制定针对少数民族学生和女生学习风格的方法，因为电子和计算机技术专业的本科生中约有三分之二被确定为非白人。

Engineering-Engineering Technology (58) The goal of this project is to adapt the work of other researchers to improve the delivery of electronics lecture and laboratory content in the Electronics & Computer Technology (ECT) for students enrolled in Industrial Technology. The project is creating online lecture and laboratory materials for an upper division electronics course in control systems. The project is (1) revising the lecture and laboratory content to be in line with theories of effectiveness in web-based instruction (Fisher & Nygren in 2000 and Shiratuddin, Hassan and Landoni in 2003); (2) developing multimedia lecture materials using WebCT (Sharer & Frisbee in 2003); (3) revising the laboratory activities to integrate an electronics kit so that students can complete ten laboratory exercises following the model established by Wang (2003); (4) adapting the curriculum materials to be in line with research on learning styles of women and minority students; (5) and integrating LabVIEW and Multisim into the class to provide the students with realistic, industry-based simulation experiences.The program is building upon a problem-based learning initiative at San Jose State University, which uses mobile technologies to transform the learning environment. Students' performance using this curriculum will be compared with students who are enrolled in a traditional laboratory that uses electronic test equipment. The project is developing methodologies that target the learning styles of minority and women students because approximately two-thirds of undergraduates in the Electronics and Computer Technology program are identified as having non-White ethnicity.
