This web site grew from an animated demonstration to a series
of ten lessons spanning the content of an entire ECE course. Gary
Daniels, adjunct assistant professor in Electrical and Computer
Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, conceived of
the initial interactive lesson as an adaptation of a physical demonstration
he traditionally performed in class - rolling balls down
a ramp as an analogy to electron flow in a circuit.
Professor Daniels came to the Faculty Innovation Center with his
ideas in 2001. The Faculty Innovation Center (FIC) supports learning
and instructional innovation within at UT's College of Engineering
by providing media and instructional development services. Following
the success of the first lesson, Daniels and the FIC agreed to
expand the project into a series of lessons, making adjustments
to the format and adding interactive exercises. The site is still
in development and lessons will continue to be added until all
ten are complete.
The project was presented at the 2003 annual conference of the
American Society for Engineering Educators (ASEE). For more information
on the project, please review the ASEE paper and presentation.
