Abstract

The ECET program at New Jersey Institute of Technology is an upper division program, accepting students from a variety of community colleges. One of the first courses these students take is ECET 303, which is a circuits measurements course. While the course covers standard measurement techniques and circuit theory, the author found that student skills in areas such as problem solving needed to be enhanced. Rather than create problems that students could solve, the author incorporated various aspects of problem solving approaches for laboratory-based course in the lecture part of this course. This paper describes the multi-step approach in dealing with creative problem solving techniques for EET laboratory based courses that was presented to these students. Student experiences with these concepts and laboratories that incorporate these steps are also discussed.
