Abstract

This paper discusses the use of Media Based Instruction method as an educational effort to improve student retention and quality in an introductory Electronics and Network Analysis course offered at a university in northeastern United States. It also seeks to study the effects of technology-based instruction that complements conventional instruction. This progress, as well as lessons learned in the first three years of Media Based Instruction in introductory engineering courses (namely Circuits, Electronics, Network Analysis, and C++ for Digital Computations) is evaluated with data. The efficacy of embedding conventional teaching with Media Based Instruction is assessed.
