  1. A workshop approach using spreadsheets for the teaching of statistics and probability

    A.G. Hall

    A report is given of an introductory course on data, statistics and probability given to first year electronic engineering students at the University of Hull, U.K. The course takes a practical... More

    pp. 5-12

  2. An evaluation of the student response to electronics teaching using a CAL package

    E.L. Dobson, M. Hill & J.D. Turner

    A computer-based replacement for an existing electronics laboratory experiment has been created and tested on a sample of second year undergraduates. Their responses were assessed by questionnaire,... More

    pp. 13-20

  3. Harnessing simulations in the service of education: The interact simulation environment

    Ruth Thomas & Irene Neilson

    The failure of simulations to make headway in computer-aided education (CAE) is attributed to their high development costs and apparent lack of cost-effectiveness, and to the high levels of teacher... More

    pp. 21-29

  4. Cinegrams for self-directed learning

    Detlev Fischer & Clive Richards

    A cinegram is a new type of interactive computer-based document that makes explicit use of time-based media such as animation in presenting complex technical information. A cinegram prototype,... More

  5. Computer-aided training for transport planners: Experience with the pluto package

    P.W. Bonsall

    PLUTO is a menu driven forecasting model of a hypothetical city. It allows users to explore the consequences of adopting a given set of land use and transport policies over a number of years and... More

    pp. 41-52

  6. An empirical approach to the assessment of cadcam

    D. Main & H.J. Staines

    Computer-Aided Design and Manufacture (CADCAM) learning is generally assessed by project-type assignment work necessarily undertaken over a prolonged period of time. This paper promotes the method ... More

    pp. 53-57

  8. Computerized business games in engineering education

    G.M. Chapman & J.F. Martin

    Computerized business games can be used in developing students' appreciation of the complexities associated with the solution of multi-variable problems. Such exercises can assist in the... More

    pp. 67-73
