The Relationship between Problem-Solving Behaviour and Performance--Analysing Tool Use and Information Retrieval in a Computer-Based Office Simulation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ludwig, Sabrina; Rausch, Andreas – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2023
Background: Problem-solving competences have evolved into key skills for professionals. Computer-based business simulations enable the analysis of problem-solving processes beyond end results. An important aspect of successful problem-solving is to systematically use built-in tools and process the provided information efficiently. Objectives: This…

A Gauss's Law Computer Simulation in GlowScript
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Danese, Anthony – Physics Teacher, 2022
In this paper I describe an interactive Gauss's law computer simulation using the GlowScript programming environment. The simulation calculates a point charge's electric field at locations on the surface of a Gaussian cube and displays the electric field in GlowScript's 3D graphics window. The point charge can be moved, and the electric field…

Novel Spreadsheets to Enhance Learning of Rigorous Equilibrium-Based Methods for Multicomponent Separations
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gómez Siurana, Amparo; Font Escamilla, Alicia – Chemical Engineering Education, 2022
Examples of applications of equilibrium-based methods for multicomponent separations usually require the use of simulation packages, which do not allow students to follow the involved algorithms step by step. Excel spreadsheets with examples of six such rigorous methods have been used with MSc students of Chemical Engineering of the University of…

Simulating Propagation of the Resultant Electric Field Vector Using 3D Vector Representations for Circular, Elliptical and Plane-Polarised Waves
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Singh, I.; Khun, K. Khun; Kaur, B.; Kaur, H.; Singh, T. – Physics Education, 2021
This paper describes a way to simulate and visualise 3D representations of the resultant electric field vector propagation for plane, circular and elliptically polarised waves. These polarisation states are obtained by the superposition of two coherent linearly polarised waves oscillating in two mutually perpendicular directions. The required data…

Roman, Claudia; Delgado, Miguel A.; Garcia-Morales, Moises – Chemical Engineering Education, 2021
The benefits of using Microsoft Excel built-in functions in an undergraduate Multistage Separations course are analyzed based on 15 years of experience teaching mass transfer in Chemical Engineering programs at both the Bachelor's and Master's levels. Eight reasons for using spreadsheets in a Mass Transfer virtual course are given. Through the…
