Abstract :
Understanding circuits is fundamental to electric engineering and continuing to offer courses in theory and applications of electric circuits to new generations of engineering students remains an important part of any engineering curriculum. Attracting new generations of students to circuits is a challenging task that calls for new approaches, methodologies, and projects that will appeal to current generations of both educators and students. Designing these new tools and making them freely available to educators is an important step in eliciting renewed interest in circuits.
