TUTOR301-a successful application of CAI for electrical engineering problem solving

A computer-assisted instruction (CAI) system was developed to teach electrical engineering problem solving at West Point, in an introductory course for nonengineers. The system, known as TUTOR301, takes the place of an individual tutor or coach in problem-solving methods. The simple form of solution text used minimized faculty time required to prepare solution scripts for the computer. The system's basic solution structure and program structure are described along with results gathered from five semesters of using this system.<
