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

工程-工程技术(58)这个项目的目标是调整其他研究人员的工作，以改进电子与计算机技术(ECT)课程中为工业技术注册的学生提供的电子课程和实验内容。该项目正在为控制系统的高年级电子学课程创建在线讲座和实验材料。该项目是：(1)修改讲课和实验内容，以符合网络教学的有效性理论(Fisher&Amp；Nygren在2000年，Shiratuddin，Hassan和Landoni在2003年)；(2)使用WebCT开发多媒体讲授材料(Sharer和Amp；Frisbee，2003年)；(3)修改实验活动，整合一个电子工具包，使学生可以按照王(2003)建立的模式完成10个实验练习；(4)调整课程材料，以符合对女性和少数民族学生学习风格的研究；(5)将LabVIEW和Multisim整合到课堂中，为学生提供逼真的、基于行业的模拟体验。该计划建立在圣何塞州立大学基于问题的学习计划的基础上，该计划使用移动技术来改变学习环境。使用本课程的学生的表现将与使用电子测试设备的传统实验室的学生进行比较。该项目正在开发针对少数族裔和女性学生的学习风格的方法，因为电子和计算机技术课程中约三分之二的本科生被认定为非白人族裔。

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.
