The small study group concept has been proven successful for minority students in calculus courses at this and other universities. It is anticipated that the collaborative learning environment will be enhanced with the use of these materials.
Students are to be surveyed after using modules.
Electric circuit modules were chosen from Cal Poly , Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Worchester Polytechnic Institute and University of Alabama. A freshman electrical circuit analysis class was identified to test modules. This project builds on the activities at UC Berkeley and Southern University.
