Experimental Economics for Teaching the Functioning of Electricity Markets
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Guevara-Cedeno, J. Y.; Palma-Behnke, R.; Uribe, R. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
In the field of electricity markets, the development of training tools for engineers has been extremely useful. A novel experimental economics approach based on a computational Web platform of an electricity market is proposed here for the practical teaching of electrical engineering students. The approach is designed to diminish the gap that…

Validation of Symbolic Expressions in Circuit Analysis E-Learning
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Weyten, L.; Rombouts, P.; Catteau, B.; De Bock, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2011
Symbolic circuit analysis is a cornerstone of electrical engineering education. Solving a suitable set of selected problems is essential to developing professional skills in the field. A new method is presented for automatic validation of circuit equations representing a student's intermediate steps in the solving process. Providing this immediate…

Technological Literacy Learning with Cumulative and Stepwise Integration of Equations into Electrical Circuit Diagrams
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Ozogul, G.; Johnson, A. M.; Moreno, R.; Reisslein, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2012
Technological literacy education involves the teaching of basic engineering principles and problem solving, including elementary electrical circuit analysis, to non-engineering students. Learning materials on circuit analysis typically rely on equations and schematic diagrams, which are often unfamiliar to non-engineering students. The goal of…

A Survey and Evaluation of Simulators Suitable for Teaching Courses in Computer Architecture and Organization
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Nikolic, B.; Radivojevic, Z.; Djordjevic, J.; Milutinovic, V. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Courses in Computer Architecture and Organization are regularly included in Computer Engineering curricula. These courses are usually organized in such a way that students obtain not only a purely theoretical experience, but also a practical understanding of the topics lectured. This practical work is usually done in a laboratory using simulators…

Enhancing E-Learning through Teacher Support: Two Experiences
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gaudioso, E.; Hernandez-del-Olmo, F.; Montero, M. – IEEE Transactions on Education, 2009
Teachers in e-learning play a crucial role as facilitators of the students' learning experiences. To this end, a teacher needs to monitor, understand and evaluate the activity of the students in the course. What is more, e-learning can be enhanced if tools for supporting teachers in this task are provided. In this paper, two experiences are…
