基于“项目教学法”的“电子电工学”课程教学改革与实践

"电子电工学"作为非电类专业的基础课程,是学生学习和掌握电子电工理论和技能的关键。实际教学证明,传统的教学方式使得学生在学习中对教师存在很大的依赖性,无法激发学习兴趣,遏制了学生的创造力发展。项目教学法的引入有效解决了这一难题。本文从"电子电工学"课程改革的必要性入手,分析以项目教学法为基础教学改革与实践的方法和手段,指出了改革中应注意的问题,旨在为我国"电子电工学"课程改革提供理论指导。

An Investigation on Telecommunication Staff＇s Acceptance of E-Learning Technology

As the information on telecommunication products updates rapidly, using E-learning in staff training becomes an edge for company operation. However, previous studies showed that staff＇s attitude toward E-learning significantly affected the outcomes of training. The purpose of this study is to investigate the acceptance of E-learning in a telecommunication company. The researchers adopted the technology acceptance model （TAM） and diffusion of innovation theory to evaluate the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on E-learning, in addition to employees＇ self-directed learning motivation, attitude toward computers, and organizational influence. We randomly chose 571 employees of the telecommunication entrepreneur at the Taichung office in Taiwan to participate in this survey. The result showed that employees＇ background factors such as age, job position, marital status, education level and the scale of job unit had the significant impact on behavioral intention to use E-learning. Employees＇ self-directed learning, attitude toward computers, and organizational influence respectively also had positive effects on perceived usefulness of E-learning and perceived ease of use of E-learning. Furthermore, employees＇ perceived usefulness of E-learning and perceived ease of use of E-learning also had a positive effect on behavioral intention to use E-learning systems.

Process engineering in electrochemical energy devices innovation

This review focuses on the application of process engineering in electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices innovation. For polymer electrolyte based devices, it highlights that a strategic simple switch from proton exchange membranes(PEMs) to hydroxide exchange membranes(HEMs) may lead to a new-generation of affordable electrochemical energy devices including fuel cells, electrolyzers, and solar hydrogen generators. For lithium-ion batteries, a series of advancements in design and chemistry are required for electric vehicle and energy storage applications. Manufacturing process development and optimization of the LiF eP O_4/C cathode materials and several emerging novel anode materials are also discussed using the authors' work as examples.Design and manufacturing process of lithium-ion battery electrodes are introduced in detail, and modeling and optimization of large-scale lithium-ion batteries are also presented. Electrochemical energy materials and device innovations can be further prompted by better understanding of the fundamental transport phenomena involved in unit operations.

Metacognition in Solving Process of Basic Electric Circuit ProblemmComparison of Metacognitive Characteristics between Non-major and Major Students in Electric Engineering

There are learners who cannot solve practical problems in spite of mastering basic scientific knowledge and formula necessary for the solution. One of the reasons might be attributed to the lack in metacognitive abilities. The aim of this study was to compare the metacognitive characteristics between non-major and major students in electric engineering and clarify the difference of metacognitive process between these two groups when solving basic problems of electronic circuit. In the experiment, the solving process was compared between non-major and major students in electric engineering using five basic problems. We found that the scores on prediction of result and confidence of own answer differed significantly between non-major and major students, and inferred that the difference of performance was due to the lack in metacognitive ability, especially the plan and the execution abilities. Both prediction of results and confidence of own answer were also found to play a significant role in effective problem solving as important components （subsystems） of metacognition.

Personalization on the TV on Demand

The Interactive Intemet TV Project is intended to be a web tool for publishing, indexing and viewing videos; that offers ontology based recommendations. The application has been developed and tested as a platform for e-learning in a univerasity context and in Optiva Media Company. It combines expertise in education and television to develop a prototype,., where the contents are generated using an automatic recommendation model based on personal profiles of each user; and that can be accessed from different devices： computers, mobile phones and so on.

Development of a Small Scale Magnetically Levitated Train as Demonstrator for Undergraduate Mechatronics Students

At the Institute of Electrical Machines of the Rheinisch Westfalilische Technische Hochschule Aachen University, there is a project financed by student fees for the realization of a magnetically levitated train in the scale of 1：50. Undergraduate students are supposed to get the possibility to design and build up a real train which serves as demonstrator for a mechatronic system. This project strengthens the motivation of students, since a practical demonstration of electromagnetic forces is given in addition to theoretical courses. This paper introduces the major project steps and explains the learning targets for the students. It focuses on analytical magnetic circuit design, numerical field simulation, modeling and control of a multi degree of freedom system, electronic circuit design, measurement setups and a first prototype test bench.
