Effects of “In Situ” Type Engineering Design Experiment in the Electromagnetism Education Class

Abstract

In Fukui National Technical College, In Situ Type Engineering Design Experiment has been carried out in the “Electromagnetism 2” Education Class. In this experiment, every student prepares all materials except a magnet and a wire by himself and makes up a speaker from scratch. This theme “speaker” was very effective as what teaches a student how theory of magnetism are important in manufacture. In this research, we focused on the change in the consideration of the students before and after experiment. The result of the investigation by the questionnaire technique is analyzed by using the graph with four areas. The change in an affirmative tendency and a negative tendency of the student’ s consideration shows that the experiment is effective.
