Revolutioning Electrical Learning: An Interactive App for More Effective Teaching

Abstract

Revolutionizing Electrical Learning: An Interactive App for More Effective Teaching Project transforms complex electrical
engineering education into an engaging knowledge-based experience. The project is built on the premise that
students can learn better if given a user-friendly toolkit that demystifies and encourages practical experimentation
with notoriously complex electrical concepts, which almost every student has difficulty with. This program combines
the M-ADDIE model with the iterative and collaborative nature of SAM or Agile to nurture creativity and confidence
within participants when it comes to designing circuits. The provided toolkit includes modular components and
allows learners to follow step-centered instructions to build and test multiple circuits with varying complexity. This
ensures that both novices and people who are advanced in the subject matter can have unrestricted access to
enhancing their knowledge. The purpose of the project is to determine its effectiveness in an actual scenario, which
was possible due to the design thinking approach taken. Early tests indicate significantly advanced outcomes
regarding the learner's understanding and retention of electrical concepts. Feedback certainly did highlight raised
levels of engagement and motivation as well as deeper learning. The project also fosters increased collaboration
from students, as there is a hands-on approach that requires students to work as a unit to tackle problems and
devise inventive solutions. This fosters teamwork, which is a crucial skill in the real world. Instead of working
around the problems posed by electrical engineering education, this project also motivates change, which makes
the whole learning experience even more interactive, which enhances its effectiveness. This will set the foundation
for future education.
