Work in progress: An Intelligent Tutoring System for improving student learning in a sophomore engineering dynamics course

This paper presents our ongoing efforts toward developing an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) to improve student learning in a sophomore engineering dynamics course. An ITS module was developed to guide students applying the Principle of Work and Energy to solve particle dynamics problems. Pre-post tests, each including six technical questions, were administrated to 74 engineering undergraduates who took a dynamics course in a recent semester. The assessment results show that the developed ITS module helps students master dynamics concepts and associated calculations.
