Technology integration in education is one of the important approaches to develop higher order thinking skill among engineering students. In this study, we report the use of electronic circuit simulator SEQUEL to develop student's conceptual understanding. We applied SEQUEL in classroom environment to show students the effect of parameter variations on outputs of circuits. We conducted pre post single group study for two learning objectives such as (1) Draw output waveforms (LO1) (2) Predict output in given condition (LO2). We found that SEQUEL helped students to predict output for given conditions as number of students who scored high in post-test are more than pre-test for LO2.

Abstract


Technology integration in education is one of the important approaches to develop higher order thinking skill among engineering students. In this study, we report the use of electronic circuit simulator SEQUEL to develop student's conceptual understanding. We applied SEQUEL in classroom environment to show students the effect of parameter variations on outputs of circuits. We conducted pre post single group study for two learning objectives such as (1) Draw output waveforms (LO1) (2) Predict output in given condition (LO2). We found that SEQUEL helped students to predict output for given conditions as number of students who scored high in post-test are more than pre-test for LO2.
